[SlikkRikk]

Would love to go but I have class on Thursday evenings. :(

[allskulls]

Thursday night is kinda hard but you can put me down as a maybe. That Saturday won't work?

[JuicerGM]

That Saturday is July 1st, yes?

Would that hold more interst?

[Detrimentalman]

Sat. would probably be better for me as well, but I think I could make a thursday.

[SlikkRikk]

Ooooooooooooooh Saturday July 1st ...

[allskulls]

July 1st!

Juicer, this seems to be what will get you the gamers so maybe you should edit the title of this thread.

It's funny, I never actually played against any of you...except Dman in a team battle that we never crossed paths in. This would be great.

Just please tell me there will be no Dang Braxas.

[SlikkRikk]

If we're doing this July 1 I kinda have to pack DB, allskulls ... but when we play, you won't see him -- I still owe you a Stupid Army if I recall correctly. ;)

[allskulls]

That's love, bro...that's love. :mrgreen:

[JuicerGM]

I am thinking that it will mostly be free play. Though I do like the idea of playing some games where we draft the armies from limited pools. Just my preferrence I guess.

As for maps I have a few I would be able to make and it looks like by then I would have tundra too. I have a large map that might be good for a 2 on 2 mess. There are some other varieties too that I have but that can be discussed when we have more of an idea of who is coming.

[JuicerGM]

I had to make a change to the date. July 1st I have family coming in, so would not be able to game that day. I have also changed other details so reposted here.

After a discussion with my wife I found that I will be able to have some people over for a Heroscape game night. It looks like Saturday may be more popular.

I was thinking of a small group but we will see who is interested first.

I figured we could play as many sessions as we could fit in from about noon to 7pm.

The location would be my home in Rancho Cucamonga. Off the 10 Fwy at Archibald.

Let me know what you all think.

[SlikkRikk]

This is perfect!

[allskulls]

So far so good.

[boom]

Saturday, now we're talking. I'm down.

[JHarlequin]

Hey all, I may be unknown, but Juicer can vouch for me, I'm his younger brother.

I heard great things about the tournament and I hope to play some good games on the 8th.

Oh and please, can we either get a 4 way free for all, or at least pairs teams match in. I haven't gotten to try any match with more then 2 people.

[allskulls]

Saturday, now we're talking. I'm down.
YEAH! Boom is in da house! :banana:
Just leave Dang Braxas at home :wink:

Looking forward to meeting you, J. Whatever big J sets up is fine with me.

Juicer, will you be needing anything by way of terrain?

[allskulls]

What happened to Dman!?!

[JuicerGM]

Here is the hugh map I was talking about.

No problem, Skulls. I'll work my snake magic.

[SlikkRikk]

After going without Heroscape for almost a month I'll take any map I can get. ;)

[JuicerGM]

A couple of other maps I have available would be these.

The only problems is they require the same table to be set up on I think.

Chasm
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h5/JuicerGM/Chasm/80d7d9c8.jpg

Wide River
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h5/JuicerGM/July%208th/eb25b92e.jpg

[SlikkRikk]

Huge map - 5 stars ... I'd love to play it. No, I'd LOVEto play it.

The other maps - I'm not big into flat maps with bridges, I like more mountainous stuff, but like I said earlier, I'll play anything at this point. ;)

Looking forward to it Juicer.

[JuicerGM]

The other maps - I'm not big into flat maps with bridges, I like more mountainous stuff, but like I said earlier, I'll play anything at this point. ;)


Chasm isn't Flat. I'll have some more pic of it up later so you can see. There is a High end to it and the low end with the ruins. The lava is about middle and then the bridges connect higher plateaus.

EDIT: I changed the map post. The Bridged worlds map was fairly flat and needs some work maybe. But wide river has high points on both sides going into a river valley with two different bridge points. I think it still could be interesting if others might want to see it.

[allskulls]

All the maps look great, Juicer!
Very playable. Glyphs? Any ideas for scenarios?

[SlikkRikk]

On second look Chasm DOES look like fun. Good work.

[JuicerGM]

None of them have glyphs at this time. Decisions on that can be made for each game.

Battle of All Time Map is really too big I think for much more than a battle royal of death and dismemberment.

Chasm lends well though to scenarios. Capture High ground, Capture bridges, Capture a triad of glyphs. I also recall it being set for three start positions that don't seem to be marked on the Solidscape of it.

Wide River has a push/hold scenario landscaping. It would also do well for a stop the snakes campain.

Plus here are other views of Chasm.

[BIGJIM]

Damn it has been awhile! I am 99.9 % sure about going. Got the O.K.
from the Boss and will talk too boom. Could you e-mail me direction just in case. Looking forward to this. :twisted:

[JuicerGM]

Here is another map to make available to you all.

I currently call this Style 1 as I plan on making other maps 16x18 that will have the same footprint to them and therefore be interlocking for combinations.

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h5/JuicerGM/July%208th/e0c03f0f.jpg
I did notice though that my start zones didn't appear.
they are 19 positions located by the bridge on either side of the water not closer than 2 spaces of safe rock position in the lava and 19 positions on either side of the road on the green on level 1.

I am also thinking of using two map seen at AllSkulls June Tournament, with his permission of course.

Swamp Valley
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h5/JuicerGM/July%208th/50ea4748.jpg

and Hot Shore
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h5/JuicerGM/July%208th/177eea06.jpg

[SlikkRikk]

I loved Swamp Valley.

[JuicerGM]

We may be using that one or a revamped one. Allskulls wanted to playtest it first.

I have also offically changed the title of this thread to reflect the change to a tournament day.

[allskulls]

Is this going to be the official SoCal Caliscapers Tournament? Number 4?

Just like to know so I can prepare a space in my house for the trophy Dman will be handing over to me :wink:

[boom]

That weekend is suddenly looking shakey for me. I think we're moving my son's b-day from the 1st back to the 8th. :shock: I'm just waiting for the final word from the 'ol missus.

[Detrimentalman]

Ah Boom that isn't cool. After we switched weekends just so you could be there. *applies guilt trip*

Yeah this will be the official socal tournie for july. I figured Juicer had this nice lineup why waste it. Especially since a couple of the people were already sending their regrets for the 15th.

I don't know allskulls I think I am getting pretty attached to this thing, I may just have to do my best to keep it another month. You might just have to walk away with something else instead.

[allskulls]

Dang, boom, we're going to have to let you do the next one. That way you will surely be there...or will you :wink:

[allskulls]

I don't know allskulls I think I am getting pretty attached to this thing, I may just have to do my best to keep it another month. You might just have to walk away with something else instead.
If we are using the card system I'd like to fix it so me and Dman meet up in the final match. Make sure that trophy is nice and polished. No dynasty for you, Dman!

[Detrimentalman]

Awww Booooo! I think we should make it so you fight me and Oogie mwuhahaha no trophy for you :lol: Besides look at my tag, I just noticed it said reigning champ; I can't give that up :wink: .

[allskulls]

Awww Booooo! I think we should make it so you fight me and Oogie mwuhahaha no trophy for you :lol: Besides look at my tag, I just noticed it said reigning champ; I can't give that up :wink: .
I wouldn't mind facing Oog again (even though he seems to always demolish me). The tag makes me want it even more!

This is going to be some good times!

[boom]

Dang, boom, we're going to have to let you do the next one. That way you will surely be there...or will you :wink:

Yeah, this whole family stuff is really eating into my gaming time. :lol: No problem for me putting together the next one. I was thinking of mid to late August. I'm keeping an eye on the I-5 beatdown thread and will try to adjust dependent on that.

Sorry, D-Man. I blame my wife. :shock:

[Detrimentalman]

Well so far several people have said sept. is best for the I5 deal; pick the weekend thats good for you in august and set it up now if you think you can do it.

[JuicerGM]

Boom Sorry you can't make it. I understand the family thing though so take care of them. Name the date for the next one and I am sure people will get there.

We are to 10 days though people ... anyone excited yet?

[allskulls]

EXCITED
:banana: :rock: :headbang:

The count down begins! 10...

[Detrimentalman]

Hey this came up and I wasn't sure. Oogie has 3 wins and I won the last so wouldn't this be the 5th? Not sure, someone that knows want to clear this up one way or the other.

And im excited, but at the same time.....it means the trophy is up for grabs!!!! :cry:

[JuicerGM]

I put the 4th as June was billed as the 3rd. I only remember seeing posts for two others. I could be wrong.

[Detrimentalman]

Yeah, hopefully Oog will comment. He's the only one I know who knows for sure.

Anyhow Ty and his son have expressed interest in going. They're not confirmed yet. Does anyone have a foldout card table or something they could bring large enough for a map to go on for the just in case scenario? Otherwise i can see about bringing up a large table, but i'm not sure room wise if it's a good idea.

[tt4JC]

It appears ( after discussion with my wife ) that Alex and (I) Tywill be attending the Tournament next weekend. I have a card table!

[Wilkerson74]

1st tourney was in la marida, hosted by gems comics and games/oogie.
(1st place was Oogie)

2nd was in santa maria hosted by hextr1p (the trophy made its firsts appearance; 1st place was Oogie)

3rd was the one all skulls hosted I believe...(1st place was Dman)

Feel free to add to the list to determine what the event number is.

[allskulls]

Thanks, Wilk. I think that is right.

Welcome aboard, tt4j! My 12yr old may be coming too. If it's the Alex I think it is then my son will be no match...actually niether will I.

[hextr1p]

Hey this came up and I wasn't sure. Oogie has 3 wins and I won the last so wouldn't this be the 5th? Not sure, someone that knows want to clear this up one way or the other.
Yes, this is the technically the 5th SoCaliscapers Tournament. Wilk didn't include the very first official SoCal Gameday which was at last years GenCon Anaheim. Oog won, and he was also in charge of setting everything up. He brought along a few very cool themed trophies, in addition to the championship trophy which sits in his living room.

[allskulls]

Number 5 huh?

5 is the number of grace...so this is my chance :D

tt4JC- click the Saturday July 8th button at the top of the page to register.

[Detrimentalman]

Yeah, I knew about the gencon, but wasn't entirely sure if that was being included. Guess we need to get the numbers straight then =)

[JuicerGM]

I don't think that Gen Con counts for our MONTHLY Tournaments. A SoCal tournament and a Win for Oogie I agree. But not the every month tournaments.

[Oogie_Da_Bruce]

Only a week away and I'm 95%.

Also, T-Bone will not be attending the next couple of Tourneys. He went back to Oregon for a few months to help with the families big move back to SoCal. So you'll be seeing him again in a few months!!!

Awww what! That's not cool, family<heroscape. Sheesh some people and their priorities. :screwy:

Ah well, I hope he gets back sooner then later. 95% What's that about. You know you'll be there, don't even pretend like you won't. *shakes fist*

[SlikkRikk]

I'm (again) an official 'maybe'.

:cry:

Looks like I'm going to perhaps go on the 'maybe' list for the next few years. :( It's a crazy life I live right now my friends.

[Oogie_Da_Bruce]

So I changed my title, I think it has a nice ring to it... no?

I would classify this as the 4th Monthly So Cal League Tournament or 4th Monthly Caliscapers Tournament (don't want to forget our Central Cali Brothers!!!)

The first SoCal toureny ever was at GenCon SoCal. Boom and I put that one together. Met Jtserk, and Team Lakai. And yes... the trophey looks great in my living room! A tribute to the humble beginnings of our growing tournaments.

The first real MONTHLY SoCal Tourneys was at FLGS in Whittier/LaHabra. BIGJIM joined us this time and we finnally met .H3X. and Wilk! Beers and BBQ at my house afterward. And the greatest 1 liner in HS history from Wilk to .H3X.! :wink: Oh yeah, I won that one too.

Then the tourney that set a new bar. The second Monthly in Santa Maria! T-Bone, Dman and AllSkulls were new attendees. BIGJIM was the hardest of the hardcore only working on a 1and1/2 hour nap! The trophy made its first appearance and then came home with me. Zany's at In&Out!!! :lol:

The third tourny in the IE. With the introduction of AllSkulls Tournament Cards. Met JuicierGM and SlikkRikk. Onix made it to his first Tourney with nephews and Wilk brought some Central Cali Buddies and his little Cutie! This time Dman handed me my 1st ever tourney loss and took the trophey home.

Now one the 4th... in July! Can't wait to see any new faces and see how this one plays out!

Soon..... very soon.

ODB

[allskulls]

Dman had an idea to give ranking Glyph cards to the top 3 players for the sake of bragging rights. I added a bit of actual functionality to the cards. Let me know if you guys are OK with it.

1st place Championship...
http://www.picturepages.info/uploads/55d64a7b12.jpg (http://www.picturepages.info)
2nd place...
http://www.picturepages.info/uploads/5a3c27e3e9.jpg (http://www.picturepages.info)
3rd place...
http://www.picturepages.info/uploads/6ae7282832.jpg (http://www.picturepages.info)

If these work for you guys, we can have some made for each tourney and maybe we can do some in retrospect so Oogie can have his stack and Dman his.

[boom]

What about for us second and third place finishers??

[SlikkRikk]

LOLOLOLOL I love em!

[JuicerGM]

The problem I see is that 4th place (looking in the mirror) misses out. Having a bye last tournament quite possiblely being the reason I was 4th and not 3rd. Then I see Rikk annoucing he is a definate maybe and not getting to take advantage of his card.

That having been said, I think the cards ROCK!




p.s. side note would it be reasonable to ask that a person that recieved the wild card in the previous tournament be exempt from recieving it the next. (again looking in the mirror) Please.

[allskulls]

I understand about 4th place (looking in the mirror). That's what I ranked in the 2nd Tourney.

As for Rikk not being able to use his...my plans were to do the older ones later. No one can use theirs in this tourney since they were'nt part of the intitial pot (no one knew we were fighting for them). I can try to get the older ones done but I need to know who hosted the first tourney (I know it was mentioned but someone please remind me).

p.s. side note would it be reasonable to ask that a person that recieved the wild card in the previous tournament be exempt from recieving it the next. (again looking in the mirror) Please.That's fine by me. I'm sure there will be no disputes here.

Hi,

I just found out about this event and signed up for the forum.
Is it too late to join the event this weekend? I would still pay
the registration fee ($5) if it turns out I cannot make it b/c of work.

Welcome to the boards, voodoo. And it is not too late! Just click the registration button at the top and the fee is collected when you get to the event.

[Detrimentalman]

Hey allskulls the cards turned out great. I see you added some actual functionality to the cards, very nice. I'm fine with it working on the next tourney, though I am not sure if the people placing in the top 3 really need an edge lol Then again it won't hurt any. Making up ones for the past tourney's would be awsome especially since that's two cards for yours truly =)

I'm currently miserably sick so my other project for the tourney didn't get off the ground, but hopefully i'll be feeling better by Saturday. Sometimes I come down with the flu, though, and it just doesn't go away.

Yeah having to use a bye system kinda sucked. I wish there was a better way of doing it, but I can't think of any besides having it first come first serve; Last person who signed up that makes it odd has to just watch if everyone before them shows up. That's just as bad as a bye so it's not really a solution.

[JuicerGM]

Well here is a run down of attendees. (Since a few haven't been registered at the top).

allskulls (and son?)
JuicerGM
JHarlequin
Detrimentalman
Oogie_Da_Bruce
OniX (+1?)
voodoo(+2)

SlikkRikk (maybe)
BIGJIM (maybe not)

That would be 11 players or 13 with the two maybes.

[JuicerGM]

MENU

Planned menu is BBQ Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, and Chicken Patties.
I seaon all the meat with a Lawrys seaon salt.

I will have simple condiments of mustard, ketchup and pickle relish.

I will also have 2 bags of chips to be determined when I get to the store.

Any other items need to be brought on your own or suggested in PM to me.

[Detrimentalman]

Very nice selection Juicer, and that appears to be the list. Lets hope it evens out at the tournament. If everyone who is a maybe (including adds that aren't for sure) could give us a one way or the other on Friday that would be awsome. I could maybe drag sam along if we are going to have odd # players!!!

[JuicerGM]

Maps for Tournament.
It was mentioned that I hadn't made it clear maps I planned on using for the tournament. So here they are reposted. 1 or two maps might be improvised if needed.

First are maps of my design. Then a couple to revisit from June's tournament created by AllSkulls.

Style 1 (interlocking series)

Your menu sounds great, I might bring two friends that have been playing heroscape too. I hope that's okay. We'll bring some more finger foods and chips/pretzels. I PM'd you for directions to your house, since the general directions are I-10 at Archibald.

[Detrimentalman]

Just in, 44tjc and son won't be coming.

[JuicerGM]

The day is nearly here upon us. I wanted to make sure that everyone has gottne directions and is ready for some death and dismemberment.

We have the house until an hour after my wife calls. We have been lucky enough that she is taking my son to Disneyland for the day. When she calls it would be an hour trip fro them to get back and gives us the time to clean up.

I am ready for a great day and can wait until you all get here.

[Detrimentalman]

I'm ready...except for my armies...knew I forgot something...damn it!

[SlikkRikk]

Have a great time guys, I will have to bow out once more this time. :( Hopefully I'll see you all again soon.

[SlikkRikk]

Pics?

[boom]

Uh, so who won? Are you all up yet?

[Detrimentalman]

Mwuhahaha we're keeping it all secret....Sounded yesterday like Oogie might not be up to doing a report. I don't have the pictures etc so we'll have to wait until someone with them can.

[Oogie_Da_Bruce]

Yes, I'm busy cross training this week. Won't be online much.

Allskulls has the pics. Writeup will come later.

Much later.

[TheBull]

Thanks everyone for all the food and hospitality. We had a blast and are happy we were able to meet such cool people. Also I noticed Voodoo's new title :-) congrats homie! 50percent has all the pictures but he can't logon right now, he'll try again later.

[feekonea]

Wasn't it a permission thing before? The next one (August) might be at a gaming store if boom hosts so it should make it easier for you to get permission.

[feekonea]

for determinaltion, yes i didnt realize it until about 3 days before that post. I didnt realize it was a cali thing or I wouldve checked the date out earlier.sorry butive had hawaii planned for months on end, i cant miss it just cuz id rather be shuttin malechi up right now.

as for allskulls yes it was. My parents are kinda nervous about the stranger house and they said it was out of the question if it wasnt @ i public place. So if we had more tournys @ public places, then I would be able to attend (as long as the date is cool) , and I might be able to host a few over in my area. sorry so cal. hopefully boom will host that and ill be able to get in.

Kakaw!

Allskulls, that's not fair, we had an agreement. Word is bond. I picked your army you picked mine and as I recall correctly, you said we had a well sorted assortment to choose from... irregardless, we're clackin' and that's STRONG LIKE BULL!!!

Any chance ONIX can make it after the revelations?

Can we still come to future Socal tournys? We'll bring the wooden bowl, leave the horse at home.

True...true. But remember you guys built your teams with a serious mission in mind, whereas we were more on the "for fun" tip.

I think I speak for us all when I say you guys are welcome at any SoCal tourney. You brought some life to the event.

STRONG smelling LIKE BULL!!!

[PREACHER]

well actually those wernt our best teams niether and common every time u try to piece a puzzle dont u do ur best to complete it? its like heroscape... every time u roll u try to roll 100% but hay sometimes 100% of two attack die can easily be thworted with 50perCent of 4 def die and whoos yeah we were tired though its tough to play out of your elements....either way.... WE GOTCHA!!

[Detrimentalman]

well actually those wernt our best teams niether

From what I saw you used the same braxas army every game and Vu used the same Q9 army every game. Not sure about pitboss, but from that observation alone I think it's safe to say you were pretty darn confident in those armies. Although I could be mistaken...but that's what I remember.

Can we still come to future Socal tournys? We'll bring the wooden bowl, leave the horse at home.

I think it's safe to say we would all love to have you.

[trixar]

actually if u say braxas and the q9 armies were the ones they used for most of the day i can assure u that was not their best teams as we play each other quite alot and i know that neither voodoo and preacher were using their best armies those two sound like the experimental armies we had discussed recently before the tournament.

[Detrimentalman]

They may not have been their favorite armies trixar, but there is a good reason for that; Joe's Fury already stated in another thread that he built their armies, so of course they weren't "their" favorite armies.

Some of us, in our tournaments, have been discussing whether or not braxas is a bit unbalanced in 400pt tournament play. You either have to build specific armies tailored against braxas or hope your opponent doesn't have her, because she can be a real b*tch. Q9 not so much, but he is pretty powerful too. I assume that JF chose two characters he felt were powerful and then added to them to create what he felt were two powerhouse armies for Preacher and Vu to use throughout the tournament. I could be wrong, but it's only how I see it on this side of the fence. I'm pretty sure i'm close to the mark because it crossed my own mind to do something similar at the beatdown.

That doesn't mean they didn't use the armies well or that their skill wasn't important in their wins only that they did come with the best your group collaborated on with an agenda, for one of you to take home the trophy. While we each built our own armies with our own imagination and some with the purpose of trying out something different or fun. I don't believe for a moment that you guys just half assed an army and then just said "whatever, I hope this works" not when you went to all the trouble you did orchestrating everything else, especially knowing you guys "discussed it" and had your leader select the armies.

Blah blah blah We'll play again and then we'll see. You guys are good players, but don't discount us. It was close and next time you may be on the losing side so it behooves you to not let your mouth run to much over winning one time. Next time we'll be better prepared knowing its the CCC.

Trust me Dman, we don't discount anybody; we respect all our fellow HS players.....though some of us are arch-rivals by regions :-D. Don't take our teasing too serious, it's all for fun.

I am happy to know that you guys are taking us seriously and will be preparing for our next meet. Of course we will prepare as well, maybe we'll sneak attack you with Gorillanators...so unexpected it'll throw your game off Muhuhahaha!

[Detrimentalman]

I've been wanting to field the G-unit, but i'm afraid of getting laughed out of the tourney =/

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Of course we will prepare as well, maybe we'll sneak attack you with Gorillanators...so unexpected it'll throw your game off Muhuhahaha!

That I would like to see. I've fielded 2 squads of G-nators and I'm a big fan. I wonder what the CCC have in the works? I've seen the orc and wulsinu hordes. Time for something new! :wink:

[Joe's Fury]

I still haven't unleashed the secret of the G-nators yet. I've done ok with them before, but have a difficult time trying to take out large heroes. I'm still trying to find the missing link.........hopefully I'll find it in time for the next gameday - I have a couple of days.
