[Double Oak]

Formerly known as DADnCaleb, on this site I shall go with Double Oak - for the ol' hometown of Double Oak, Tx. Decided to switch names as I was starting to get known as Caleb which is actually my son's name!

Ninthdoc was wondering if we had gotten Velenne over to this site yet, any word?

[Rodriquez]

aye we got vel over here,
how goes it man?
ye gonna make it out to my place this saturday?

we'll be there all day!

[ninthdoc]

Cool! This is the first confirmation that I've had on this. I PMed StaceySensei over on the HQ. Hopefully we won't lose anyone.

[Jonathan]

As some parts of Dallas are probably closer to me than some parts of Houston, I guess I'll let this be the "Texas Thread" :D

Looking forward to the next monster tournament!

[Double Oak]

Rod, would love to make the games this weekend but the in-laws visit is killing me right now. Please PM me your phone number on the slim, slim chance I can get away and so will need directions. M-law weekend is a B to get away from the wife and m-law on!

[TheRealQ]

I have an out-of-state business trip coming up but have a plan I will look into once I get back. I was looking over the map and realized this:

Houston area is 3 to 4 hours from Taylor
DFW area is 3 to 4 hours from Taylor
San Antonio area is 2 to 2.5 hours from Taylor
Austin residents are 15 to 75 minutes away from Taylor
ultradoug is about an hour from Taylor
Tyler is 5 hours from Taylor

If I had access to a convention size building how many people could make it to Taylor? Just want to know if this is worth investing my time arranging.

As I stated when you stopped by my place, I am all for this. I ahve wanted to get up to Dallas, but time after time my plans have screwed up.

To me, Texas is the best state for scaping and scapers...we need a central location to bring us all together.

I would love to have people come to my neck of the woods, but no one is crazt enough to make the drive...it is pretty far.

[netherspirit]

Texas sucks. Down with Texas. :P

I hope they don't kill me......

[geddy lifeson]

Texas sucks. Down with Texas. :P

I hope they don't kill me......

As someone who grew up around NW Indiana and Chicago, I like the area and Purdue is a good school, but I take Texas anyday. And no, we wont kill you but the torture is inevitable.

[TheRealQ]

And no, we wont kill you ... Have I ever mentioned that I once shot 250 while in the Corps :twisted:

[Jonathan]

My wife and I could definitely make it up, and I know a bunch of casual scapers in Austin that would definitely make the hour drive. Keep us posted.

If the timing is right and schedule allows, I will be there.
Holy petunias, a convention building for all my HS pleasure :!: :!: :drunk:

[Rodriquez]

taylor? where is that at?
it would depend on when/where/how far, etc.


cheers
Rod

to lilwis: ye must come this weekend!! listen to the voices in yer head...ye must come to Rod's this weekend...

:)

[Double Oak]

Rod - the wife has given me a glimmer of hope for this weekend but it is still 50/50 at best. If I come, Caleb will come as well (will your son be playing - are you up for a dad n son team game?).

Might even bring another fairly new scaper as well. Could be good showing or we could be no-shows - all depends on dem in-laws and if they are wanting to do stuff or just hang at the house.

cheers

[Revdyer]

I hope an Arkansawyer with a daughter in Mansfield, TX, can make some of the Texas events too (I did live for eight years in Houston, and that is almost in Texas).

[ninthdoc]

Wow, rev, I didn't notice that you were from Little Rock. I have family in Cabot and Searcy. I think that you're the first player from Arkansas to post on either the HQ or here.

We'd love to have you. Buddy_Lee came in from South Carolina last month. He on vacation and coming here anyway, so he did us the honor of coming to game w/us.

[Revdyer]

I live in Little Rock, but pastor the Presbyterian Church in Jacksonville, so know Cabot and Searcy pretty well. I'm surprised to be the first person from Arkansas around these parts, though.

With a daughter, son-in-law, and two grandkids just outside of Fort Worth, we get to Texas pretty often. I'll be watching for possible get-together dates coming up.

And THANKS for the warm welcome.

If you're up this way, give me a shout for a game or a meal or whatever.

[ultradoug]

Revdyer you ever by killeen let me know ;)
next gathrings 06/17 and 07/01 in texas places. one at nindocs the other at grungebobs

[Revdyer]

Thanks, ud, I'll be there sooner or later...but by then you'll probably be in Japan!

[InfinityMax]

I hate to sound like I'm not dedicated, but unless the game is naked twister, I'm not driving six to eight hours in one day to play anything.

GenCon is a different story, but it's also four days and a hotel stay.

[ultradoug]

I think Neo's hosting Naked Twister soon.

[Rodriquez]

I think Neo's hosting Naked Twister soon.

if ye get ninth and rychaen into that game...ye can count me out there...

[O'Keefe]

Hi, I just moved to Austin and kept all my HS stuff out of storage just in case.

Little background...I've got one of everything out so far and three MS, and I've ran a few big map multiplayer games at cons.

It'd be great to drive less than an hour and get a game in. Unfortunatly I'm living with my in-laws right now, so can't host a game myself :(

A Saturday drive to Dallas may be a possiblity in the future, but trying to find a place to live and other RL concerns are keeping the gaming travel budget small.

[TheRealQ]

O'Keefe, I am in Taylor just east of Austin and ultradoug is less than an hour north in Killeen. I have a table that can seat 8 not to mention I rule the roost and can play whenever I want (as long as I get permission from the wife ;) ). My son and I have an equal share in our HS stuff. We have 2 MS and one of everything other than the tundra and the last set of large figures. We also have extra orcs, minutemen, and wolves. I would love to host something. Just PM me as I am out at this site daily. Right now I am stuck in Maryland on a business trip in which I have not idea when it will end as I am covering for someone undergoing surgery. Once he is good to go I'll be back in town.

As far as real estate goes I can give you a little heads up as I was in the market last October. West costs more, East costs less. The north side is insane with high techies and the neighborhoods reflect that with large cookie cutter homes and a lack of trees. The construction in Cedar Park has really increased commute time from the North West. Georgetown is trying to renovate their artisan district but are still tech heavy.

From my house I can make it to the UT campus in 40 minutes. For some people that is a long commute. For me that is nothing. Even as far out as Taylor there is a large population of Dell employees. They're the ones with the cookie cutter neighborhood. My wife and I were in the market for an older home with hardwood floors. We paid 89k for a house that would cost 150k in Roundrock and 180k north of downtown.

I don't know much about the south side as my bosses wanted me on the north side so I can drive to Dallas if I'm needed.

Oh, BTW, welcome to heroscapers.com and to Austin where weird is a good thing. ;)

[ultradoug]

RealQ whenever you get back your totaly hosting me and this new guy at an epic event :D
lol.

[Grungebob]

A Saturday drive to Dallas may be a possiblity in the future, but trying to find a place to live and other RL concerns are keeping the gaming travel budget small.Dallas July 1st my friend!! Beers on me!

[markwars]

Omigod! Now you're giving out free beer to boot? Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

[Rodriquez]

hehe free beer!!! Free Beer!!!

is that like the whole free hat thing?

[ninthdoc]

2 items of interest:

1) If anyone is interested, I'd be willing to coordinate a large order from House Mouse games to make use of free shipping. This offer is available to anyone in the Dallas area I know who regularly makes our gamedays.

2) For those who don't know (and I was one of them until last night), there is a Gamewyze in the mall in Lewisville. I will not be able to attend, but for those who are interested in checking out some other minis games there is a minis demo this Saturday:

June 10 – ALL Miniature Games Demo Day :: Demos begin at noon through 5pm: Starship Troopers, Hordes, Warmachine, Confrontation, MechWarrior, Star Wars, Axis & Allies, Dungeons & Dragons. (http://www.gamewyze.com/events.php)

[Rÿchean]

Good stuff ninthdoc....thanks....

I thought sandra pulled the free shipping...or is that just once Castle comes out?

I got no curent needs; i managed to talk myself down from needing 4 of all commons and 2 of all heroes...though I keep seeing orcs in the store; they whisper to me, "if you have 3 of all commons, you need 4 of us"...little blue bastages

peace, beer, and heroscape

Ry

[ninthdoc]

When Thora's comes out, she's offering 2 options, one w/free shipping, one w/cheaper expansions for smaller purchases to offset the cost of shipping.

[Grungebob]

I want in on that big order ninthdoc!!

[Rodriquez]

so do I man..
lemme know about the order..I need thora's and the castle's also

[ultradoug]

i had something cool set up with mouse but money is running very tight so I'm pretty sure that offer expired as I waited.
Anyway.. I want 1 of each doc.
is it time for gbob event yet???

[ninthdoc]

Okay, PMs e-mails etc are coming today. I'm thinking about ordering this week, I'll get you the details this evening.

Keep watching cyberspace!

[Rodriquez]

also drop me yer number and directions to yer place again.
Im gonna try to make it up there saturday but I won't know for sure until thursday or friday due to my werk schedule

[ninthdoc]

Okay, PMs and e-mails away. Please PM me if you were planning on coming to gameday this Saturday or wanting in on the big order and have not received a message.

[lilwis]

Ok.. found the Texas thread! (Obviously)

[ninthdoc]

What's funny is that as I was re-reading the thread, I found that you posted here on page 1. LOL

Cool! Hey, guys and gals, Annerios just moved to D/FW! Whoo-Hoo!

Let's give him a big ol'

HOWDY, ANNERIOS!

[UranusPChicago]

Annerios,

Come on over to my place if you get a chance on the 22nd or 29th of this month to meet some of the fellow Scapers from the DFW area. I am having two weekends of gatherings at my place. You are more than welcome to stop by.

I have a thread in the Events area.

[skyknight]

God you do not know how envious i am of you guys :(

[Revdyer]

I know how envious you are, sky.

I'm looking forward to visiting my daughter in Mansefield (east of Fort Worth), in the Fall and hope to meet some of the Texas crew.

[Annerios]

Thanks for the welcome!

I'm mired in business related stuff and living at my in-laws for a while, so I don't know how much time I'll have for gaming, but I will try to get to some of these events.

I don't have access to my HS stuff right now anyway, so it would be great to play to get past these HS withdrawal symptoms. :lol:

[ninthdoc]

Okay, D/FW folks, I'm organizing our next large purchase from House Mouse. She's having a sale on Castles and Thora's. I know that a lot of you already have Thora's ordered w/Tundra and that the release date was pushed back, but if anyone is interested, please let me know and I'll get the order in while it's on sale.

Once again, you must be able to PayPal me or see me in person to write me a check or pay me cash. PM me if interested.

For those who feel that they already have enough Thora's, remember prizes, customs, and eBay.

[Rodriquez]

pm on it's way man.

[Zircor]

Hi everyone thought I'd introduce myself. Just started playing Heroscape today (played 2 games so far) and loving it. Had been eyeballing the thing for a LONG time; ended up getting my brother-in-law one of the Wal-mart starter sets (the ones with the Onyx Vipers) and one of the expansions for Christmas and my sister's birthday (at the time thought she would enjoy it too). One of the wal-marts here had the starter sets on clearance a few weeks ago so I bought 4 of them for $27 each and they have just been sitting here til tonight. Needless to say I really did enjoy the game and would love to hang out with some people in the Tyler/Athens/Murchison area for a few games.

[ninthdoc]

Zircor, I lived in Athens up until last year when I moved back to D/FW. There was a lady that played Heroscape w/her son that lived in Bullard, TX that came up for our tourney in Garland last February. She went by Kev11 on our old site, www.heroscapeHQ.com, which is now defunct. I have not seen her post since about a week after the tourney last February. I don't know anybody that has her contact information. She was a good player, but her son who was about 10, I believe, was really, really good.

[Rodriquez]

welcome to the boards zir,

keep eye on the events section man, we have a gathering in dfw area about once a month or so, ye should come on up for the day.


cheers
Rod

[ninthdoc]

Rod, order away as of this morning.

[Rodriquez]

ahh sweet!!
sounds good Doc.

so only 4 sets for ye?

[Zircor]

Yup only 4 for now. At the time I was on a limited (ie nonexistant) income, but had a few bucks left over that weren't NEEDED for bills. Have a job now so should be able to get caught up pretty soon. Now to find more peeps to play with :)

[Rodriquez]

well come on up to dfw sometime man, I'll hook up a game with ye and ye don't even need to bring fiq's, etc, I've got plenty..
esp once my castles gets here..got 6 sets of them on order..

cheers

I wish I could go, but the 5-hour trip is pretty daunting...

[Revdyer]

With people driving in from Little Rock (me) and coming in from Georgia...a Lufkin trip ought to seem pretty small. <just chiding, not criticizing>

[ninthdoc]

Should I mention the 1800 mile, 24 hour round trip trek that Rychean, Imax, and I took in a Saturn Vue to get to GenCon? C'mon Point Blanks, get hardcore!

[Revdyer]

I love my Saturn (you'll see it, d.v., in October) but a thousand miles in a Vue? Man, you deserve combat pay! :)

[Rodriquez]

I love my Saturn (you'll see it, d.v., in October) but a thousand miles in a Vue? Man, you deserve combat pay! :)

in a vue? ye've got it made...

try that kinda trip in a 3 cylinder metro(8 times over 3 yrs)...or an old ford festiva(with no a/c, actually made the trip twice)

or even better in a '71 corolla wagon that has no a/c, no shocks and a busted tailpipe...

last couple times I've done that trip was in '93 hyundair s'coupe(twice), an '00 daewoo(sweet car ran well until a friggin city truck totaled it), um about 6 times over 3 yrs, and now we've got a '05 Elantra GLS which has made it twice this yr.

btw those trip are from DFW to atlanta to savannah(GA coast) and back...
usually over 3000 miles in a week or so(or more...)

:lol: It is for the designated person I have to have in the vehicle with me... I hate the Texas driving laws. None of my family lives in that area, and I don't think anyone in my immediate family loves me enough to venture out that long, even for a track meet. My dad has been asking me about playing HS with me someime though, so I might get him interested...

Yeah, I'm 16. And if I have to have an adult with me, I may as well let them drive me, so I can take a little nap before I get there. Everything would be a lot nicer if my dad was going to play too...

Maybe next time

[dabluesman]

Well, for the past 30 years, I would have chimed in and said, "Yep, I'm from Houston!", but I've just recently moved to VA. I'm still a Texan at heart. I've refused to get my license plate changed out so far. Makes people's heads turn up here in the parking lots.

-John

[Revdyer]

I went the other direction, from Virginia to Houston (then to Little Rock).

[dabluesman]

Really? I can't imagine that. I'ts so hot and humid (and smoggy) in Houston compared to VA. I don't know, maybe its because I was born and raised there, but I am just tired of the hot stickiness of the winters, much less the summer! Little Rock probably is a bit better than Houston as far as weather, though, right? I've only passed through, so I really don't know much about Little Rock.

-John

[Revdyer]

Little Rock's weather is a lot like that we had in Richmond. Enough winter to remind us of it, but long Sping and Fall seasons. It gets hot in summer, but then, unlike Houston, the hot goes away. We like it here most of the time...and really enjoy not having seen any real traffic for twenty years!

[ninthdoc]

Guys, if anyone is interested, Madness Games in Plano has several AH games on sale for $20. Specifically, I saw: Sword and Skull, Rocketville, and Monsters Menace America.

[ricksta2232]

I just picked up Heroscape a couple of weeks ago. I can't seem to get anyone else hooked, so I'm looking for others who are game. Is there anyone out there in the Houston area looking to whoop up on a newbie?

[ninthdoc]

There are several Houston area members that post here. You might go to the members list and sort it by location. You should see a lot of locs that say "TX - Houston" thanks to funrun making us all uniform and Borg-ish.

[Crakhed]

I'm going to be at the Gaylord Texan November 7-9. In particular, I should be free the evenings of the 7th and 8th (though I could swing something starting late (10pm-ish) on the 9th). Any of y'all interested in swinging by to rough me up? I can bring armies, but I'd be relying upon local assistance to field, um, the playing field.

Hmmm... An interesting proposition. What night would work best for you?

[Aldin]

Of those the 8th would work best (I'm flying in on the 7th and might be delayed for some reason). If I remember my schedule right I could be free around 6ish on the 8th. Glad you might be interested and I hope the 8th works for you!

I will be in FW from Nov 5 to 17 and would be happy to get into some gaming after work. The family will probably be coming down over the weekend but I have no plans for any night I am down there. I know I have been trying to make a Dallas gettogether for a while and now it seems things will finally work out. I would love to meet a bunch of you. ninth...we have that rubbermatch to work out, this time I will make sure not to grab a beer when you are rolling attack dice :wink:

kewl Geddy lemme know I need to get some more games in

[Aldin]

Rodriquez,

Sleep is for the weak, right? :twisted:

Thursday night would work great for a late night session. I'm getting back to the hotel around 10pm and could do an 11:30ish pretty easy.

I'm there for a work conference, which means if I can't scrape together some heroscape action I'll be bored out of my mind!

For any and all nights I subscribe to "the more the merrier". My only caveat is that I'm not going to be able to pack any terrain so I'll need y'all to provide the maps.

~Aldin, who doesn't say y'all much in real life, but does use it online even when he's not talking with the good folk from Texas

Hello all,

I am in Dallas and my friend and I would like to expand our world (beyond 2 players). So if anyone is looking for more players, let me know. i am also on vacation for the next 2 weeks so scheduling shouldn't be too bad.

We just had our latest tourney. It will probably be early next year before we have another one. Players bring a small entry fee, a prize, and whatever they need to play. It takes 6-8 hours for the tourney, it's shorter for those who don't make the finals and you could leave then, but you'll miss out on the prize table. There are no "scenarios" just head to head combat against one other opponent. Maps are predecided and made available at this site prior to the tourney.

[geddy lifeson]

Just got into Fort Worth tonight. I will be here for the next couple weeks and would love to get together and play some 'scape with anyone available. I wont be available Thur through most of Sun as my family is driving up to spend some time here as well but should be open at other times. I am not sure exactly when we will be finished working each day and how traffic will be getting more into the Dallas area...I am currently by the FW zoo. Feel free to post if you are available and pm me if you would like to work out any details or share a cell number.

[Rodriquez]

hey geddy drop me a line man if ye wanna get a game in though during week I dont get home til 1130pm.

Okey doke,

Leaving tomorrow for TX!

Ninthdoc & Rodriquez, you guys still interested?
(My notes say mebbe Wednesday for Ninthdoc and late Thurs for Rodriquez.)

~Aldin

[geddy lifeson]

Rod, 1130 may be a bit late. We will probably be starting pretty early throughout the week. My family should be leaving late morning/early afternoon Sun so I am available after if that would work with you or anyone else. I am not sure if you guys have anything planned for Sun or not.

Ninth and Aldin, Wed night would be great if you are getting together and have room for another. Let me know.

[ninthdoc]

I know that Aldin is at the Gaylord Texan, I'm trying to think of a good place to meet near there. Aldin, is there a small conference room you could get the staff to let you comandeer?

I have a small desk here as well as a couple tables we can roll on in my room which is quite large actually. I have some terrain and actually a small map set up already that we can alter for more people as well as all the figures including multiples. A friend with me plays as well.

Not sure where the Gaylord Texan is, but I also don't feel like googling that one either :wink:

[Aldin]

Dunno. I'm gonna PM you both with my cell # - give me a call tomorrow late afternoon/early evening after I've checked in.

So is Wednesday the determined day? And is the Gaylord the determined spot? My friend and I are in Farmer's Branch, not too far from Grapevine, but Fort Worth would be a bit of a stretch, Geddy. From what I know about the Gaylord, most of the conference rooms would be booked, if one was available, it would be costly.

Here are some picts I took of our current board setup right before I added a third castle.

[geddy lifeson]

Great time playing the other night. It really wasn't fair for the way we played the 3 against 2. The points might have been fine but what made it hard is the way we worked turn order. It should have switched back and forth rather than in a circle. Anyway, it was still good fun.

[Rodriquez]

cheers
ok for any who wants to come down on sunday,
I'm tossing open my place during the afternoon( well actually g'ma's but her place is bigger than mine)

if ye wanna drop and need directions, pm me and I'll drop ye my number,etc

[Roomguy]

Hey guys! im new to heroscape and live in north houston was wondering who all else lives in the houston area that plays. I just started but I have pretty much all of the expansions.

[ninthdoc]

There's a Houston group that plays pretty regularly. I know one of them goes by Jonathan on this board. You might try searching for one of his posts or looking him up on our member board.

You're welcome to come join us in Dallas, some from Houston do. We're planning a tournament in March that draws people from Central Texas, further south (Houston), and out of state.

Welcome to the boards! You should check out our member list and sort it based upon location, that migh help you as well. :D

[Jonathan]

Just remembered I live in Texas, so I checked this thread. Glad I did. Roomguy, a group of us Houstonians (anywhere from 6 to 12 people) gets together about once a month. Let me know if you're interested in joining us.

Yes, I am envious of all of the rest of you Texans and have enjoyed the few chances I have gotten to play ya, especially the ones who made it down here for one reason or another.

Hmmm.

I'm in Austin - there were rumors in this thread about groups of players, but nothing concrete. Anyone have more facts? Do they meet at Dragon's Lair, or Thor's Hammer, or somewhere else (yes, those are the geekiest possible names for game stores. Hush.)?

I don't get out much, since I have a 5 month old, but I could probably make a game once in a while. My experience thus far is limited to playing with my wife and daughter (who are really just humoring me) for the most part, so I'd like to get beaten down competitively a couple times....

[Jonathan]

There's some dudes in Austin that used to play weekly, but due to relocations and such stopped the weekly gaming. Some of them still seem to get together at Thor's to play WoW TCG on Friday's, I believe, and would probably dig on some Heroscape as well.

[dead_radish]

Cool. Thanks for the info!

[TheRealQ]

Calling all Austinites! (and anyone else close by) I have been out of circulation for a while but am alive again and want to game. Taylor is a bit northeast of Austin and I am more than willing to sponsor a gathering. If Taylor is too far for city slickers to travel I am more than willing to travel (almost)anywhere into the Austin area to play.

I have recently started a diet and need someone to come here and drink all my beer (Ziegenbach, Fat Tire, Warsteiner, and some homebrew Heffenweisen)...I can't stand to see it go to waste. If we game here I can provide food, drink, and at least one decent map(3 Master, 3 RtFF, 2 Lava, 2 Castle) and my dining room table seats 8.

I would like to play a few games before March 10 since I am considering traveling to Dallas then and don't want to make a complete fool of myself.

As said before, I am willing to meet up anywhere but I don't know everyone elses transportation situation. If memory serves Ultradoug is always up for a game but is stuck in Killeen without a car. If we play here I am more than willing to go pick him up and return him later.

So, what do you say? Anyone game?

[Jonathan]

I'll pass the message on to Krunkster and Casanova - they're in Austin (and Georgetown, actually) and are usually up for a game.

[geddy lifeson]

I would definitely be interested in making a short trip to the Austin area...especially since you did make it my way and manage to put a beating on me that I am still feeling. I will get in touch with you and work something out. After all, how can I turn down the beer?

[TheRealQ]

I'll pass the message on to Krunkster and Casanova - they're in Austin (and Georgetown, actually) and are usually up for a game.

Thanks. Georgetown is actually closer to me than Austin.

I have sent PMs to all the Austinites that have listed their location, dead_radish, O'Keefe, cpuerror, Blue Angel, Darkwolf, and spiderM9, but Krunkster and Casanova didn't have a location pinpointed.

I've also sent messages to Geddy and ultradoug. Thanks for responding Geddy.

I doubt think UD will be responding, especially if you sent him a PM to his account here as he is perma-banned. I also don't think you want want him coming to your house either.

There is a thread somewhere explaining what went down, I choose not to bring it up in this thread and discuss it here as it still makes me sick.

Enough said Geddy. No need to stir up old news. I had been out of touch and am reading months of old posts to try and catch up.

End of Feb. works for me. If you need any help moving drop me a line or give me a ring. I own a pick-up and I'm a heavy lifter. I also carry my office on my hip (pager & cell) so that most days I can go anywhere and do whatever I please. (as long as I stay close to Austin and San Antonio)

Dragon's Lair area is pretty easy for me to reach without hitting traffic so I have no problems coming to you if you don't want to make a trip to the country. I went out to DL's website and noticed that they have instore gaming. If they sell HS perhaps we can convince them to give us space some time.

Me and Krunkster used to have a weekly game going on way back in the day, but now he is like 5hrs away in through rush hour traffic so our weekly games are no longer :cry:

My next couple of weekends might be busy but I'd like to get at least one match in before the Dallas tourny.

MY FIRST POST!!!


Hey everybody, Long time Lurker, first time poster. I live in Austin Texas
(the ATX), and have been looking for people to play with/ against.
I was the brainchild behind the Heroscape Meet, Greet, & Beat at Dragons
Lair a few weekends ago. It was sweeeeet!

Met a few people I wouldn't mind meeting on the fields of war again.
I actually played a game this past saturday with 2 people I met at the previous battle.
Cool part was it was at this guy's house that had built a battlefield
inspired by the battlefield I created for the Dragons Lair event.

I chose the name Dr. Weirdscaper because I am a huge ATHF fan and
when it comes to creating battlefields, I consider myself a mad scientist.

My "Creation" at the above mentioned event was a city made up of 24
structures and a large wellspring fountain as the centerpiece. 25 glyphs
(2 of every glyph exept for the Lucky 20 Sider that I only have 1 of )
were placed face down in the buildings and the last one placed on the top
of a road tile formation in the middle of the fountain (highest point in the
city). Pictures were taken and I will track them down.

to be given a map- just want to know
what you want on your burger. :)

[TheRealQ]

(loud booming voice)

Hey Rev...Seems like it would be a long drive to the Austin area from Little Rock...

Hey Q- Hope to see you there. Wile I'm thinking about it,
what kind of battlefield would you like to see at this event?

Keep in mind, I only have:
12 FOTAK
15 ROTV
18 TT
30 VW
30 RTTFF



In reverse order.

Wow you have a lot of land. I don't know of anyone who has as much lava as you do. If you needed a little more for set up I have 4 RotV & 4 RtFF, 3 FotA, 2 TT & 2 VW although from the size of the gameroom I couldn't imagine needing any more than you already have.

Actually I've been interested in small maps for one. Some of the maps that they used for the last Houston Tourney inspired me but I think I might be interested in seein what can be made with half of a master set. Another thing I have been interested in, since seeing a couple of Rev's maps, is multiplayer castle maps using multiple castles but no doors. With the new vampires adding to the entire horror genre I have also been interested in a castle map where most of the map consists of castle with two or more teams starting within. As a scenario I have considered a "haunted castle" theme. With all that lava you have you almost have to build a map with a complete volcano...I just want to see this done, I have no idea if it would actually be playable. Other than already listed I like a heavy use of rivers, bridges, and cover (trees and ruins).

Revdyer has actually popped into Dallas a couple times from my understanding ( I had the honor of playing against him in the team tournament) and if he hopped over to Shreveport he could coast down 79 with a total travel time of only an hour more than going into Dallas...although we probably have a while to go before we can draw Austin crowds the size of the ones in Dallas. Geddylifeson on the other hand is just down in Cibolo and would probably jump at the opportunity to game with a group within just a couple hours from home.

How was your turn-out for this last event? I wanted to be there but was called away on a business emergency.

[Revdyer]

I've been pondering how to do a castle map, with multiple doors facing inward, where you start inside and the goal is to escape and/or kill your opponet(s) before he(they) break out. I suspect it will be after GenCon, though, before I can actually get this set up.

[Dr. Weirdscaper]

GENTLEMEN...

Hey Q-
It was a pretty good turnout for the first turnout.
Including myself, there were about 9 players.
Unfortunately, not everyone showed up at the same time.
The first game was a 2vs2 game with a 5th player (a kid)
who had to sit out and watch. An hour or 2 into the game,
my team mate had to "go help someone move" (WTF?).
So he left, and the 5th player got to gump in as my team
mate with a fresh 600 point army. We allowed the kid to
start his army anywhere he wanted to. Good times.

About the space available- I used the 2 larger tables
(4 foot by 6 foot) to form a 4 foot by 12 foot table.
I'm thinking the next battlefield will have less length
and width but more hight.

About the smaller maps-
Theres plenty of tables, and no law that says only I am
allowed to build the battlefields. I think it would be cool
to see all of the tables filled with smaller 2,3,or 4 player
maps.

And yes-
I have in the past built some cool (ok, maybe "cool" is
the wrong word to describe them) volcano themed maps.
Most people (cowards) do not like to play on them for
some strange reason... :wink:

[Dr. Weirdscaper]

"5th player got to GUMP in as my team mate" :lol:

Man I crack myself up.

[Dr. Weirdscaper]

:cry:

Bad news (sort of).

Due to some Heroclix event, the Austin Dragons Lair Heroescape
day will be pushed back to the 3rd Saturday in August (I think 18th).

The good news: those who couldn't make it before might make it now
(Rev). :D

GENTLEMAN:

Is your Austin posse going up to the DFW tourney on October 20th? It'd be cool if it turned into an all-Texas (and elsewhere) tourney.

[Crow T Robot]

Hey folks, real casual player here. " only played twice and that was scenario one from ROTV ". We live up here in in between Conroe and Magnolia area. Hope to eventually get into a game or two around but I always seemed to be strapped for time. Oh yeah I used go by whitewind on the other Heroscape board. I think it was HS.com?

Hello Dr. Weirdscaper,

I'm new to HS overall, but I might be able to attend the event tomorrow at Dragon's Lair and I am wondering what "flyers" you were referring to. Any help?

Hahaha, I thought he was meaning something in paper, like an organized list of your units with point costs and everything... Now it all makes sense, thanks!

[CheddarLimbo]

Is there anything going on in the Arlington/DFW area the rest of January?

There is a great comic shop called Lone Star Comics in central Arlington and they have a free gaming room in the back. If some people were interested, I wanted to see about getting some folks together some Saturday to 'Scape the day away.

I've got one ROTV, one SOTM, 1 VW, 1 TT, and 2 FotAK to contribute to making up a couple of maps.

I could bring myself and possibly two others depending on the date. This would be casual play, I'm not looking to set up a tournament. We can draft or bring pre-made armies, whatever is the norm.

[Rÿchean]

I live in East Texas - Longview. Looks like most things are happening in DFW, Houston or Austin. Such was the case when I played Dreamblade as well.

If there are any Marshall/Longview/Tyler (or in that vicinity) Heroscapers, let me know. Otherwise I'd love to try and make some Dallas events in the future.

2 hours to Houston - come on down!

Hey guys I am new to this websites scene but not so new to heroscape, just looking to see how many people around the San Antonio area that enjoy playing.

[Jonathan]

I know of Geddy Lifeson (sp?), but that's about it in SA. If you're on the north side, a drive to Dragon's Lair for one of Dr. Weirdscaper's ginormous maps shouldn't be TOO far.

[Velenne]

Living in Austin or SA means you're well placed to attend tournaments in both cities!
