VA Players

[player_of_volleyball]

Yea we have like 4 players here and need to find more!!!!!!!

[K/H_Addict]

Yep. 4. Me, Him, Chris (need to notify of the new location of this site) and Kenneth (he needs to sign up.....).

[TheRealQ]

How far is Richmond from D.C.? I may be stuck out there for about 5 weeks.

[player_of_volleyball]

it about 2-3 hrs or 110 miles

[K/H_Addict]

when would you be in DC or Richmond? I'd love to actually meet some one from here, rather than simply reading their text...

[Least]

I live in Northern Virginia. Tons of my friends have played, with about 4 or 5 who regularly play.

[K/H_Addict]

we all live in richmond, and play regularly...

[Havokscry]

we all live in richmond, and play regularly...

:grumble:

I moved from Richmond a couple of years ago. I worked at Circuit City's corporate headquarters and lived on the west end close to Short Pump. I miss the four Targets, the two Toys R Us, the three Wal-marts, etc. I don't have anyone to play with now. :cry:

[Roufus]

I'm another Richmond based HSer, who doesn't have hardly anyone to play with.
Dag nabbit.
Want to play MORE, need to find more players.

[player_of_volleyball]

what county you live in?

[Roufus]

I'm in chesterfield. Near chesterfield town center.

[K/H_Addict]

how old are you? do you drive? maybe we could arrange a game sometime (doubt it though)

[Roufus]

I'm 23.
Yes, I drive.

I'd like to have more people around the area to play HS with. I don't play nearly as much as I'd like. I'm finding it hard to find people.

[K/H_Addict]

yeah. i have a gropu of 5 people that own MS, 1 that wants a MS and 1 that has a brother that plays. We're all under 20. I'm 17, the guy who formed this group, and am the second oldest in the group. The oldest (also the newest) in the group is 19

[Roufus]

I'm not against playing with younger dudes, as long as it doesn't look weird or anything.
19 is only a 4 year difference.
I guess it depends on the maturity level of the group as a whole.
If you all are going to be drinking and doing drugs and carrying on I wan't nothing to do with it, regardless of age.

[K/H_Addict]

nah, we're all clean (to my knowledge). some of us can be immature at times, but otherwise, were pretty mature. I guess it depends more on your perception of "maturity"

[Roufus]

As long as you are all decent people it shouldn't be an issue.
I'm all fine with joking aorund and carrying on. Not that big a deal with me.
Just nothing like.... pornographic or degrading or other such ugliness.

But when you get my age, hanging out with younger people can become dangerous. Things like 'contributing to the delinquency of a minor' tend to be a factor where they weren't before.
Say that I came over, and we were having fun and playing, and then one of your buddies shows up late, blitzed drunk. and then the police show up. I'm the only one over 21. I'm going to be blamed for it.

Just being precautious, nothing wrong with that.
If you are all decent guys, it's not an issue.

[player_of_volleyball]

hey,im the youngest in the group (15) and some of us can be a little immature cough*k/h addict*cough ,but overall we are ez ppl to get along with. We dont do drugs or drink or anything so we clean. We are down in Henrico county. So we need to set a date to play cause i really wanna play against ppl on this board.

[K/H_Addict]

me? immature? how? it's all in good fun!

at least i dont turn on a light when someone else is looking at it!

:shock:

Uh...

[jmugoofball06]

Anyone here from Hampton Roads area interested in playing?

[K/H_Addict]

depends.how far from richmond is hampton roads ?

[Roufus]

I'm from the richmond area, so it would be about an hour and a half trek for me, not something that could happen every week or so, but I woudln't mind setting up some times to go out there and play some games.

Who knows? I could even bring Addict with me and make it a party :P

[K/H_Addict]

not until i have my own license. mom's protective like that. IDK, you're not a teenager, so if you got to know her maybe...what would you guys think of meeting me and some of my group at a local hobby store (if they'll permit it) one day?

[XavierStar]

I'm from Hampton Roads. South Hampton Roads, to be exact.

[jmugoofball06]

I'm from Carrollton so anytime you wanna play hit me up.
AIM - JMUGoofball06
email - paetztm@gmail.com

[Vette71]

Anyone from the Valley region? Anywhere as south as Greenville to as far North as Elkton? The library I work for has these HUGE meeting rooms they let people reserve for workshops etc... with these enormous tables. That has "Heroscape Meet" written all over it!

[K/H_Addict]

i'm gonna get a few people together and see if we could reserve a section of HobbyTown USA for a day and run a demo or something. maybe we'll convince them to start carrying HS

[Roufus]

Cool, keep me posted on that and I may be able to join you.

[K/H_Addict]

Castles have been found in the rishmond area. I bought my first set last night. My dad called 2 WM's (Shortpump and Route 1 a.k.a. Brook Road) and they both had 3 in stock.

[Roufus]

alright you rowdy virginians
We gotta help eachother out.
Lets let eachother know when we see wave 5, or flagbearers, or stuff around us so we can share the love.

I got my first set of wave 5 at the midlothian walmart near jtcc.
There was only one of each though (dag nabbit)
so I got them all, (even the display box)
but they said they'd be ordering more soon, but they had no way of knowing what was going to be in the shipment.

I NEEDZ some more rats!

and as of 8-21 there are absolutly NONE at the mechanicsville WM, so don't bother. (lotta w3 stuff though)

[player_of_volleyball]

i just got the soulborgs and elves,ninjas and samurai, and the agents and gladators at the wally world on brook rd. they didnt have the blastron set. The brook road one doesnt really have small exp. alot so dont count on them.

[LoneDragon]

I didn't see this thread before...
I don't think it helps... but if anyone is anywhere near Roanoke, I've seen Wave 5 at Walmarts in the area, just no agents pack. I bought the Ninjas pack and the Elves pack and a third Minutemen pack and I was out of money.

[Vette71]

The Waynesboro, Staunton, and Harrisonburg WalMarts have all the wave 5 packs so far, but no Heroes of Lindesfarme, Tundra or Castles.

[Vette71]

Waynesboro WalMart is FULLY stocked with castles!! So it stands to reason that Staunton and Harrisonburg are as well!! Got my first castle set today!!

[K/H_Addict]

Walmart in Shortpump: 7x Wave 3, 1 RttFF, 1 OR, 6 MS (2 EOV)
Target in Shortpump: 1 RttFF, 1 RV, 2 Sets of Wave 5, minus 1 Ninja/samurai and 1 soulborgs pack, 1 MS

[AmishBurrito]

We should get a VA/NC game goin on

[K/H_Addict]

only if it is hosted near my house since only one person in my playgroup can drive, and he doesn't even have a car...

[Roufus]

I'm game, I drive.

[mrbistro]

Represent! I grew up in Roanoke. Probably not too many players there, huh?

[LoneDragon]

None that I know of... except me in Salem....

[chilito]

Blacksburg, I'm looking for a game

[K/H_Addict]

Okay. Target across from Virgina CEnter Commons Mall had a single TT today, and i bought it. I can't play with it till 9-23 cuz i made my dad buy it for me as a birthday present, but hey, at least i have one! They aslo had like 6 RV and 3 full sets of Wave 5, display box case thing included.

[K/H_Addict]

PoF and I are thinking about hosting a demo game or event or something at a local hibby shop around the corner from my house. I have absolutely no details about it except that it will most likely be held on a saturday.

I am not even sure if the hobby shop would allow us to do that, or if they would charge us.

The shop is called Hobby Town USA. The location i will be planning this is in Fountain Square Shopping Center. Here's the address for www.mapquest.com

8032-B W. Broad Street
Richmond, VA 23294



I will be posting details in this thread as well as an event thread when i get them. Feel free to PM me with any questions.

[LoneDragon]

chilito, so let's play a game. :P

~Yub yub, Commander!

[K/H_Addict]

do what?

[dabluesman]

I was in Houston, but I moved to VA earlier this year. I hadn't been on the boards for a while, and then the site went belly-up (heroscapehq). So, here I am with all new post counts. Ah, the feeling of being a newbie all over again...

-John

[dabluesman]

Oh, forgot to say where. I'm in Sterling.

[K/H_Addict]

Where's that in relation to Richmond?

[dabluesman]

It's north of richmond, near DC.

http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Richmond,+VA&daddr=sterling,+va&f=li&hl=en&ie=UTF8&z=8&om=1

-John

[player_of_volleyball]

we all need to get togther from here and meet somewhere and have a HUGE game. Like a 75475489577855875757835 point game.

[AmishBurrito]

and eventually a NC vs VA game :D

[K/H_Addict]

boy would that be fun....we all meet on the border. Set up the table right on the line. VA players stay in VA and NC players stay in NC.



*laughs at the thought of bystanders*

[dabluesman]

boy would that be fun....we all meet on the border. Set up the table right on the line. VA players stay in VA and NC players stay in NC.



*laughs at the thought of bystanders*

Well, if anyone wants to have a VA vs MD, we could do it at my house. It's pretty darn close to the border of VA and MD.

I've only been able to play with my 9 year old son on a regular basis. My wife is becoming disenchanted with it since she is not big on strategy games (to her, even Stratego is too much strategy), and my 7 year old daughter only likes to play for one game at a time, and only once every couple of weeks. I think it would be fun to play with someone closer to my age... or at least higher than elementary school (don't get me wrong, I love playing HS with my son).

-John

[K/H_Addict]

how old are you, DBM? I just turned 18. My play group ranges from 15-19.

[player_of_volleyball]

well any updates on the game this winter?

[K/H_Addict]

No, but jerry is in the process of getting a MS. Jon has already bought him an expansion, and all i need is $20 from jon and i trip to WM an jerry will have begun his collection!

BTW: if anyone is paying any attention to this thread, i plan on running a contest (map building) this november/december, so get your brains working!







Hey josh, what about doing this during our 4.5 day weekend for thanksgiving? TG is on a thursday, that day and friday we have off, and the wednesday before it is a half-day, so that gives us (me) wednesday to set up, and thursday (maybe), friday, saturday, and sunday to play.

Okay, about that. I just talked to one of the managers there. She said that it is free, and all i have to do is supply the gaming materials (such as terrain, figs and dice etc). She told me to call the day-time manager for more info, so i got one of his business cards and am going to call this weekend. They told me that they have a group of people that come every other saturday to play BattleTech, but other than that they don't really have anyone in there. Sunday would work best for me, or a saturday that isn't one of the every other saturdays the battletech group plays (they just played this past saturday, just to give you guys an idea of their rotation).





Hopefully this weekend imma geta chance to call the day-time manager and talk to him and find something out, and will post details when i do.

[K/H_Addict]

oh, and i checked thr TRU on quioccasin today, with no luck. The had wave 5, RttFF, Orms, VW, and wave 2 heroes, as well as master sets, but no FB's or even a place for them :(

[funrun]

Hi VA people! I just wanted to let you know I am trying to judge interest level for having a tourney in Cincinnati, OH the first or second Saturday of Dec. Cincinnati is a 4+ hour drive from the VA border if you travel I-64 to US-52 to OH-32. I just drove that route to NC last weekend so I know it well :-). I am not sure if there is another faster route depending on what part of VA you live in.

Please mark your interest level in this thread http://heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=3556

[K/H_Addict]

Okay, i sent PM's out to everyone that posted here about a possible get together, and only one person responded, so i'm going to goo off of the date that he gave me.


Dabluesman says he should be available the weekend of the 18th next month (november), but the 18th (saturday) is one of the weekends that the battletech group plays, so i will plan this for the 19th, unless there are any objections. You other guys, PM me with info about whether you can come or not, and what days work for you, and my playgroup will try and arrange a date that works for everyone.


If this works as i'd like it to, there might even be a new retailer here in richmond eventually.

[dabluesman]

how old are you, DBM? I just turned 18. My play group ranges from 15-19.

Hey K/H_Addict, I just caught your post now that I'm back on after you woke me up from my life. I'm the ripe OLD age of 30, as of March 15th this year. Yes, Beware the Ides of March!!!

Hopefully having a crotchedy old geezer coming down to Richmond won't cramp your style.

I'll probably get into town Friday night and make a weekend of it. I'll have to boogie when it starts getting dark so we can get the kiddos back into bed since they will have school the next day. Let me know what time you'd like to shoot for to kick things off and I'll be there.

You mentioned I should bring my figs. What about terrain? Will I need to cart that down, or just the figs?

-John

[K/H_Addict]

Probably only your figs. I have 4 MS to use, and PoF has about 3 or for to use, so we should have plenty. Only terrian we could possibly use is specialty terrain like road or snow, but it's not that big of a deal. 3 RttFF usually proves to be enough.


I plan on being there when they open to set up, and we'd probably have to be finishing up the game round 4:45 to give us time to demolish and re pack and leave by 6 when they close, so dark sunday shouldn't be too much of a problem.


I'll keep you posted with details both VIA PM and this thread as i gather them! I'm looking forward to this game!

[dabluesman]

Sounds good. Thanks!

-John

[player_of_volleyball]

anyone else wanna come? come on guys you kno you wanna. plz :o

[K/H_Addict]

The 19th game is looking even better now, since i know i now have that day off! Tomorrow i will be calling the hobby shop to get details and will post them ASAP.

[K/H_Addict]

okay, the November 19th game has been confirmed. It will be at HobbyTown USA in Richmond, VA.

For directions, click on the below link and type in this information:


8032 W. Broad St
Richmond VA 23294

www.mapquest.com


Also, add your adress, or the address of where ever you will be commuting ther from and it will give you a map and directions to there. We (PoF and I) will be providing terrain, so all you need to bring is your figures and anything you might want to use.

PM me with any questions, or post them here. PMing will get them answered much quicker ;)

[dabluesman]

Just wanted to confirm that I'm in. What time are we getting started/what time should I arrive?

-John

[player_of_volleyball]

yea K/H what time do we start? how many pts. and how many games?

[deathsaurx]

Ah, I found this thread too late! Aw well, I probably coudn't go all the way to Richmond anyway.

Has anyone noticed Toyrus has certain tournments everynow and then? Or is that just mine? If the tournament was held ar my local TRU then maybe I could come.....Nevermind, have fun guys!

[K/H_Addict]

Just called them to confirm their hours for sunday:

12-5. Josh, you and i will be getting ther as close to 12 as possible to start setting up. I plan on having 2 different maps set up for other people. Right now there will be 4 of us, with a potential 2 more.

We will be using 2 maps built by cavie. I will post them here when i can. I uploaded them to the DL section, but they need to be approved first. They are called Beyond the Cliffs and The Mountain Top. They both use 2 MS each; one uses a RttFF and a VW.


I'd imagine since we'll only have 3 hours tops to play we'll be doing some small armies like maybe 1000 max, so be prepared for such games. Points should not exceed the area of 800-1000

[K/H_Addict]

Hey, DBM, one quick question to avoid time consumption on sunday:

Do you have any house rules you like to use?

We have one, but it's simply a modified climbing/falling rule. Instead of the official ruling where if a cliff is equal to or higher than the height of the figure, they may not climb it and take a wound from falling, we play that it has to be greater than. If it is equal to we say that they are doing a pull-up sort of action to get up, IE reaching their arms up.

[K/H_Addict]

here are the links to download the maps we'll be using:

http://www.heroscapers.com/download/index.php?dlid=247

and

http://www.heroscapers.com/download/index.php?dlid=248



enjoy!

It isn't until Sunday, so you still have time to make it if you don't mind the drive. I'm going to make the drive from Sterling, so you would have just a tad less of a drivetime than me (you're in Centerville, which us just west of Fairfax on 66, right?).

Which TRU has tourneys? I'd drive over there if I knew about them.

Since my main opponents are my 7 year old and my 9 year old, my house rules are more like "don't step on the pieces" and "you have to do your homework first". Other than that, I just follow the rulebook. Your house rule sounds fine to me.

Personally, I think we should play where you get to collect the money pot everytime you hit Free Parking... Oh, wait a minute...

-John

[Pumpkin_King]

I seriously, seriously doubt it, but are there any scapers or clubs in the Orange, Fredricksburg, or Culpeper areas?

[K/H_Addict]

PoF and i have agreed on a 600 point limit, but that is subject to change as we go.

[DinosaurSayRAWR07]

k/h addict if i were in ur play group, i could also drive, plus i have a car..........

[DinosaurSayRAWR07]

i'd play if someone took some time to teach me how you play.
i've never played before..

[K/H_Addict]

if you were to come up there we could probably teach you. It shouldn't be a problem

[DinosaurSayRAWR07]

up where?
what day?
what time?


cause ill have to check and see when i work and such

[DinosaurSayRAWR07]

???????????

[K/H_Addict]

If you'd read, you'd know


Hobby Town USA on Broad Street this sunday (the 19th) from 12-5

[dabluesman]

I seriously, seriously doubt it, but are there any scapers or clubs in the Orange, Fredricksburg, or Culpeper areas?

Looks like you are smack in the middle of Richmond and Sterling, so you really aren't too far away from players. I'm in Sterling, and K/H and PoF are in Richmond. You should make the drive to Richmond on Sunday and join us.

-John

[Pumpkin_King]

No can do on Sunday. I have church, and my dad works anyway. If you guys schedule anything else, just let me know.

[K/H_Addict]

you sure? they don't open until 12, but they close at 5, so you can show up any time in between

[dabluesman]

No can do on Sunday. I have church, and my dad works anyway. If you guys schedule anything else, just let me know.

Sounds like you don't have a car. If you do get a way to find a ride, like K/H said, you can come late and join in.

-John

[player_of_volleyball]

PK how old are you by chance?

[dabluesman]

[quote="K/H_Addict"]Hey, DBM, one quick question to avoid time consumption on sunday:

quote]

Actually, last night I thought of one that I do use. We generally play with enough order markers to fill up each card once, so we have the normal 1,2,&3, then all the rest are x's. This is optional, so if you guys don't want to do that, I'll be fine.

-John

[AmishBurrito]

Anyone live near franklin?

[dabluesman]

Anyone live near franklin?

Not I, said the fly. Best I know of is Richmond. If you want, you could take the plunge and come up and play tomorrow. It should be less of a drive than mine, so I know its do-able.

that's kinda cool. With 5 MS (maybe more) worth of markers, and such small armies, i could see us trying that out.

[dabluesman]

Well, in about 15 minutes, I'll be hoping in my car and heading down. See you in a few hours!

-John

[dabluesman]

Well, in about 15 minutes, I'll be hoping in my car and heading down. See you in a few hours!

-John

Actually, I got a late start and left at 9. However, I'm hopped up on energy drinks and as a result, I'm now about 45 minutes out and closing. I'll probably find the place, grab a bite to eat and head back at noon.

-John

[dabluesman]

Well, I made it. See everyone at noon!

-John

[K/H_Addict]

Awesome games everyone!

We were able to set up 3 maps in about an hour, play 2 games on each, and take them all down and pack up in about 20 minutes. I definately plan on doing this again sometime, hopefully when more people from the boards can make it. If you could, i would like for those interested to post days (preferably a saturday) they are available, and i'll work with it from there

Yes, it was fun. Can you post the blackout dates that the other group takes up? That way we only plan for available Saturdays when we post.

-John

[player_of_volleyball]

yea guys great games today. even tho DBM DESTROYED me in a game but it was fun and def. lookin forward to the next game. If you didnt come to this one you need to come to the next one.

[K/H_Addict]

i'm not too sure when they come, but i believe that they use every other saturday (yesterday being one of the "other" saturdays).

[K/H_Addict]

what would you guys think of doing another gathering between the 16th and 30th of December? Those 2 weeks are winter break for PoF and I, so they both work for me.

[player_of_volleyball]

one week during winter break (not sure which one will keep up to date tho) im going to my unlce's house. he lives in stauton(sp?) so if anyone lives up there maybe a game then? just hit me up with a pm or just post here

[K/H_Addict]

you need to find out which week that is going to be so i can narrow down the dates futher.

:wink:

[K/H_Addict]

Boy it's a small world.


I was checking out the entries for my contest this morning at school seeing who liked what, etc. and some kid whom i barely know comes up and goes "Is that Heroscape?" i'm like yeah and he walks away. It took me a minute to realize that he actually knew what i was looking at.

Then, i found out he also plays Kingdom Hearts too, so he gained massive respect from me.



He says he hasn't played HS since like august because he has nobody to play with. i'm like hello? i play!


Josh, we have a new member...

[DinosaurSayRAWR07]

i hope to join yall one day soon....

just when im not busy and dont have to work

[K/H_Addict]

you should convince nikki to play too

[player_of_volleyball]

ok im leaving town christmas night and will be back that friday. so that first week would prolly be the better time for me to do another VA gathering if we could.

[K/H_Addict]

I know it's close to christmas, but would saturday the 23rd work for another get together for anyone?

[player_of_volleyball]

that should work for me. anyone else?

[dabluesman]

I know it's close to christmas, but would saturday the 23rd work for another get together for anyone?

No can do from me. I probably will have my father-in-law in town that weekend, and if not, I probably should be paying attention to my young 'uns that wekeend. I'm game for Janurary and beyond, so just keep me posted.

-John

[K/H_Addict]

Completely understandable, DBM. I would want my family to spend time with me too.

Josh, what do you think about doing something during spring break (i believe that would be april 7th to the 15th)? That'd give plenty of notice to people here, and i'm sure we could plan something between now and then too.

[player_of_volleyball]

sounds good to me

[dabluesman]

I can do april, I'm sure. I can also do much earlier if we want to do another Saturday or Sunday thing.

-John

It's all good; I'm 18 and still have to ask before confirming a trade and such.

Welcome to the site, tacticalexpert!

[GForce3062]

i'm in for the game unless for some reason something comes up. just tell me what time it will start and where.

[sakhmet]

I'm new to the game and just wanted to find out where people were getting together to play some games in my area.

[K/H_Addict]

where is partlow? Most of us here live in Richmond...

[sakhmet]

Partlow is about 30 mins north of Richmond.

[K/H_Addict]

[sakhmet]

I'm 32, I've been trying to teach my 4 year old son to play, but only the basic game. I'm still learning myself. I only have the ms, but I plan on getting some expansions this weekend.

[sakhmet]

Does anyone have any ideas on how to store and transport the figures?

[player_of_volleyball]

Does anyone have any ideas on how to store and transport the figures?

i put all my figues in bags by general and then put the bags in a avon box. nothing real special but hey it works.

[sakhmet]

I was thinking of putting them in a tackle box but wasn't sure how that would look.

[sakhmet]

Any games planned after the new year? I have a sister who lives near short pump and I am going to get her fiance to start playing HS. Does anyone live near there?

[player_of_volleyball]

no i dont think any of us do. once in awhile we have VA player gatherings where we all meet and play some HS. if a date is set it will be poseted in here.

[sakhmet]

Thanks for your reply PoF, I am going to try and get something going in my area also.

[player_of_volleyball]

Thanks for your reply PoF, I am going to try and get something going in my area also.

keep us up to date. im sure me and K/H would be game

hey dumb****, stop trying to call me out. when i said

i was not talking to tacticalexpert. I was responding to sakhmet's post:

Partlow is about 30 mins north of Richmond.



By the time sakhmet came into this thread, i had already finished a conversation with tacticalexpert.


Now, for the fun part of this post: using your words against you:

Sakhmet, we don't live too far away from Short Pump. About 20 minutes, given traffic/weather conditions. I'd be up for a game in your area; Just need a lot of advanced notice, since no one in our playgroup drives yet.

As for the figure storage/transportation:

I have all my figures in a small toolbox. I also have about 6 MS at home, and on the rare occasions i need to travel with it all, i can generally fit most of it all in one large rubbermaid tub that you can find in walmart.

[sakhmet]

It would be easier for me to come down there then. I guess I assumed incorrectly that everyone was of driving age, or do you all not have your own rides.

[K/H_Addict]

well, i am of driving age; i just have no incentive to pay $2.15 for gas. I'm 18, just don't wanna fiddle with gas money etc...I'll try and plan a game down here sometime when it warms up a little. We can host them at a local hobby shop here in Richmond; I did one in november and it worked out pretty well for a first time

[sakhmet]

I can certainly understand about the gas. How long have you been playing?

[K/H_Addict]

I got my first MS for xmas in 2004 (almost my second anniversary), but didn't actually start to play regularly until the following summer.

I was watchin TV one day and saw a commercial and thought "that looks cool" and put it on my xmas list, expecting it to get looked over and not recieve it. Well, here comes Christmas Morning and i find my first MS. I read the rules, explain them to my dad, we play a game, he didn't like it, so i play with my sisters boyfriend, who also didn't like it. So it gets packed away until school lets out in mid June. I get bored one day during summer; Some kid who i hate now (Jordan) comes over and i teach him and PoF how to play; With in a week, they both have their own MS. Then i teach my best friend how to play and he gets his MS too. I've played regularly ever since.

[sakhmet]

I just bought it last friday and I have only played about 5 games, all basic rules with my 4 year old son. It's fun but I want to move up to the master rules.

[K/H_Addict]

the basic game sucks horribly compared to the master game. I played a few basic games, but once you get to the master level, you'll never want to go back!

[sakhmet]

I have a friend at work who I took to WM to show him the game and he really seemed to like it. He said he would buy some characters and play some games and if he liked it he would by a MS. I am trying to recruit at least 3 or 4 more people to join in.

[K/H_Addict]

Hey, while i'm thinkin about it, check out my maps! Just click the link in my signature.


I hope you have as much luck recruiting as i did...

[sakhmet]

Actually I was already looking at them and this is the first time I felt the need to buy more sets! They look like they would be fun to play, good work!!


I also read some of the replies and you said you had a friend who had dial-up service and could not join, I am on a 56k dial-up connection now!

[K/H_Addict]

It's not that he can't join; I joined using AOL 7.0 (we have since upgraded to comcast high speed DSL). It's just that it's not worth it, since he almost never gets the chance to use the computer. I'd say you could try using one of my metamaps, but i don't think you'll have the terrain. They use bits from 1 MS and all of wave 1 terrain expansions...

[sakhmet]

I'm having a party next weekend for new years eve and the people I want to play will be there. I plan on buying more stuff by then so I can impress the hell out of them and they will be dying to play when they see it!!!

[K/H_Addict]

Shoot me a PM with a list of what you have when you get more and i'll try to make a map if you'd like; Or you could always do it yourself...Thats the beauty of this game!

[sakhmet]

I just might do that, thankyou. I downloaded the landSCAPE app from Logrey but I really haven't messed with it yet since I only have a MS.

[player_of_volleyball]

what a conversation yall are having here. i hope you can come down sumtime so we can play.

[sakhmet]

I would like to play some people with exp.

[player_of_volleyball]

I would like to play some people with exp.

well we got plenty of that down here :D

[sakhmet]

Well we will have to try and find out in a month or two, but for now my son will have to kick my butt!

[sakhmet]

the shelves were pretty well picked clean this morning, I was surprised that there were that many people that played around here! I did manage to grab some figs and more terrain though. You guys have a great christmas.

[Hale]

Hey, I'm in Richmond looking for some players. I was just taking stock of all of my HS stuff, and I need to play more to justify having so much. Anyone interested in meeting sometime this week (12/26-12/30) for a game or two? I go back to work next week, but I could always play in the evenings.

[K/H_Addict]

I see your Location says the Fan District. IIRC, that's just downtown.

How old are you, Hale?

[sakhmet]

Did everyone have a good xmas?

[K/H_Addict]

I sure did. I didn't get any Scape, but got plenty of money that went to Scape. Just bought 4 more pack in that past 2 days...

[sakhmet]

I got 5 packs and RttFF to add to my ever increasing addiction. :twisted:

[K/H_Addict]

i want another RttFF. Went looking today. I went to 2 WM and a target. 1 WM had a very limited selection of small packs (now even more limited, as i bought 3 out of 5 packs there) and only 2 Orms, which i already have. No RttFF at all. Went to another Wm and all they had was 4 MS and 3 FotA. Target had 2 MS. i was sad...

[sakhmet]

Do you guys know where to find this first edition MS? I want to buy another MS as it is, for the terrain mostly, but I would like to get the EOV. If you know where to look, I would appreciate the help!

[txedomask]

I am in the newport news area, if anyone is in or around there, you can hit me up.

[gofry]

I live in virignia :D

[K/H_Addict]

What part of VA, gofry?


Sakhmet, the EOV MS was a 2nd edition (white dice, solid water) walmart exclusive released for christmas 2005. Your best bet on getting the EOV would be trading here or (and i hate to say it) try ebay. Since everywhere we seem to go is picked clean, i doubt you'll see an EOV, unless WM finds some more in the backroom.

[gofry]

near grafton

[K/H_Addict]

where is that in relation to richmond?

OK, I thought that it was still in stores just hard to find because everyone wanted them. I liked the blue and red dice and thought it would be nice to have but I cant see spending more than it is worth. Thank you though':)'

[sakhmet]

Happy new year! I played my first real HS games this weekend and my addiction is now secure. So where do I find the dice towers? :twisted:

Greetings!!

Being somewhat experienced in other games (D&D, various MMORPG's, Starwars Mini's, LARPG, etc.), I recently bought my 'noob' boyfriend Heroscape for Christmas. He's hooked! My work here is done! :) Our 5-year-old is even keeping up with master scenarios with a little help.

Together we have bought at least a dozen small expansions (hard to find since stores are still picked clean from the holidays) and I've taken a renewed interest in customizing my own mini's. Problem is, just the two of us isn't cutting it.

Both of us are looking for other scapers, new and/or experienced, who would be interested in getting together. Richmond and Fredericksburg are our two closest cities. Anyone interested?

*In case it matters, I'm 26 and my bf is 30....we don't plan on growing up anytime soon :)

i vist my aunt in richmond all the time. its about a 45 minute drive from my house

[sakhmet]

Welcome gofry and ScapeGurl. I am not to far from you ScapeGurl, I live in Spotsylvania, about 10mi from Ladysmith. I'm new to HS, played it mostly with my 4 year old son on the basic game. I would be interested in something more advanced though.

Not far at all. Yeah our 5-year-old is getting pretty good at the master level. Sure we help with reading the cards, but everything else is all her. And as embarressing as it may be....the little punk has beat us both twice so far. :shock:

[Aldin]

Welcome to the boards, Scapegurl!

On behalf of our friendly and synergistic community I give you a laurel and a hearty handshake.

~Aldin, who works in Richmond... California

[sakhmet]

My son has beat me several times. He knows what to look for when he moves and how many attack/defense dice he needs but if the game gets to long he does not want to finish.

[K/H_Addict]

As PoF has stated, we live in Richmond and have a somewhat large playgroup here; Spring break i believe begins the friday before easter (i think April 8th?). Theres also regular days (preferably saturdays) we could try and arrange. PM me or post here any dates you are available or not available, and we'll work something out!

I'm good for the weekends, just need some advanced notice of where and when. :lol:

[K/H_Addict]

advance notice will definitely be given. Last time, i gave like 3 weeks notice, and still only one person outside of my playgroup showed up...

[sakhmet]

If I say I will be there, I will!! Hey, whats up with theats and his TRAP thread? I was just there reading the posts and they were all pretty funny.

[K/H_Addict]

TRAP is an anagram for "The Ridiculously Annoying People." It's meant to be ridiculously annoying, and apparently his original TRAP thread got deleted...

[sakhmet]

I assume he wasn't well liked then?

[player_of_volleyball]

anyone here wouldnt have any drones up for trade by chance?

[sakhmet]

yep i have one set. you got some drones?

[sakhmet]

I got one set.

[K/H_Addict]

aside from minions, is there anything else you're looking for? Or have you already worked dout something with PoF? I want some drones too...i want 3 sets of em...

[sakhmet]

Never worked anything out with PoF before he left the chat last night. I don't have to much to trade with since I am new.

[player_of_volleyball]

do you want sumthin else at the moment besides the minions? I could think about it, but i would rather keep them.

[sakhmet]

Thats alright, I just havent found any more in stores yet. If you have anything you don't want just let me know and I am sure we can work something out.

[player_of_volleyball]

well do you have anything in mind?

[sakhmet]

this is all I own:
1-MS
1-drones and minions
1-heroes of trollsford
1-greeks and vipers
1-warriors and soulborgs
1-soulborgs
1-RttFF

So I can use just about anything. I don't have any particular favorites just yet, maybe after a few more games.

[player_of_volleyball]

i have a extra set of wolves. if you are intrested in them

[sakhmet]

That sounds good to me. So how do you usually do this

[player_of_volleyball]

i've never done this stuff b4. i would package up the figures in a box with the card. we give each other out addresses and then just ship them to each other. lets finish this through pm

[sakhmet]

i sent a PM.

[sakhmet]

Hey PoF, I did not find anymore more drones, I can't find anymore wave 2 or 3 anymore! I did find a the tundra exp. and the last minutemen/wolves and an utgar flagbearer I couldn't pass up. If you still want to trade then I can send it off on monday if thats good for you.

[sakhmet]

if you guys know any good maps that use:

1-MS
1-RttFF
1-TT

please let me know.

[Hale]

For those of you in the Richmond area: Where do you guys normally play? Do you go somewhere, like Hobbytown or One Eyed Jacques, or do you play at someone's house? The end of the first semester at school is coming up, so I'm going to be up to my eyeballs in grading, but I will have some good free time when exams come around.

[player_of_volleyball]

we usually play at someone's house but we have played up at a hooby town b4. contact k/h_addict about it and he will tell you about our games

[Billtog]

I go to CNU in Newport News. Is anyone from that area? I also have relatives in Richmond so there's a chance of us getting together, I suppose.

MMmmmm...exams. i'm a senior this year.



Yeah, as PoF stated, we usually play at someone house (until i moved it was usually my house), but we have set up a game at hobby town on broad street. I've never been to One Eyed Jacques. IIRC, thats down in carytown, right?


What school do you teach at?

[sakhmet]

Have any of you guys seen any new HS stuff coming out in Rich. The shelves are still bare around here.

[K/H_Addict]

I didn't even know this place existed until this past weekend, bad location...hidden behind another shopping center. It's located in the Five Mile Fork Centre, corner of Cherry Rd and Old Plank Rd. Not only do they sell HS (a little pricey), but they have tournaments scheduled for Tuesday nights.

Here's the details for the next scheduled tournament.

Fee: $3.00
Prize: 1 Small Pack of Figures (Priced $13.95-$16.95)
Time: 6pm

Details: 30 minute rounds
200 point random assortment
6 players minimum - the number of players determines the prizes.

If you need to borrow figures they will be loaned out from my personal collection on a first come, first serve basis.

Customs are allowed, but need to be approved!



Me and my boyfriend might go check it out. If you guys are interested you should check it out too!

Man, if fredricksburg wasn't so far away, and they didn't do these on Tuesdays. tuesdays are usually school nights, and i typically wouldn't expect to have my parents drive out that far for me to play a game, especially on a school night.

What kind of a selection do they have there, SG?

[player_of_volleyball]

dude that is sweet. i hope they have one over spring break. :pray:

[sakhmet]

The selection isn't all that great, and niether are the prices! MS 49$ Castle 29$ Figures between 13&16$! But it is a good place to get some scapers together and play.

The lady I talked to said they tried to get some games going before but the people who wanted to play didn't show up.

[K/H_Addict]

No snow or anything? No W6? I'd be willing to pay the extra $$$ for the harder to find stuff...

Yeah, I said they are pricey. Way more than I'm willing to pay when there are other places to go for a lower price. But I'm all game for getting together and playing. You going to check it out on the 30th, Sakhmet?

[ScapeGurl]

No snow or anything? No W6? I'd be willing to pay the extra $$$ for the harder to find stuff...

Nope, no wave 6's yet. *cries* Personally, I've given up my quest for them until after February.

[LoneDragon]

Is there anyone near the Roanoke/Salem area? I don't have a car and I am desperate for new opponents. Send me a PM if you want to play!

oh trust me. W6 is here. At least in Richmond. You just gotta time it right. Dad brought some home for me yesterday. I've seen them in my hands, and i've seen them in my room, but i've still never seen W6 in stores!!!

[sakhmet]

No snow or anything? No W6? I'd be willing to pay the extra $$$ for the harder to find stuff...

I did see one box of TT, one castle and a couple MS. They said you could pre-order wave 6 and when it comes in they would call, but I will wait till it hits WM or Target!

[K/H_Addict]

have you tried asking them anything about W3?

[sakhmet]

I didn't think about it but I will ask when I go back.

[Starscream49]

Im in VB anyone close enough to play?

[ScapeGurl]

oh trust me. W6 is here. At least in Richmond. You just gotta time it right. Dad brought some home for me yesterday. I've seen them in my hands, and i've seen them in my room, but i've still never seen W6 in stores!!!

^$&#^*&^&@!!!!! :shock:

I go to VCU, so I'm in Richmond all the time. Where did your dad get them from?!

[Starscream49]

Ive seen them here in VB too.

[LoneDragon]

Im tired of looking for Wave 6 and snow. The only store around here that ever had snow was Target, I came across the remaining hero sets a few times.

Im ordering through housemouse.

I can drive. How far depends on how the match looks. If it looks like some good players and a good time, I'll go further. FYI, I am near DC in Sterling.

For transport I generally bag mine up in gallon ziplocks sorted by the point armies I plan to use for the games and put them in a random box.

You think you could convince someone to give you a lift to Richmond even once? Maybe someone going to King's Dominion this spring/summer would drop you off for the day at the hobby shop. I'm sure we could work around your schedule if you could manage getting a ride.

How does April 14 (saturday) sound to everyone? I believe that is the saturday of spring break for me and PoF, and i also think that it should be a free day at the hobby shop. As i said before, every other saturday, there is a group of people that go up there for a game of Battletech, and i think that 4-14 should be one of the alternate saturdays they don't come. We still have quite a bit of time before planning is crucial, but you can't say i didn't give notice ahead of time here.

Will anyone come and play with me when I get an 8'x4' HeroScape table? I have 6 Master Sets...

Just trying to make sure this gets seen.

8x4 seems a bit big for just 6 MS. i have just under 6 MS and rarely use all of my 6x4 table...

You didn't give notice ahead of time here.

There, I said it. Hah.

I should be able to make it. You can pencil me in.

It isn't about how much you have, it's about the way you use it.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist NOT saying that.

Try to make it to Richmond for the event K/H is organizing. Maybe you can coax someone into giving you a lift.

Where Sterling Va.

I'd go to Richmond for a game if I thought we would play a bit. I mean 2 hours up and 2 hours back isnt worth a 2 hour game.

Im fairly new but up to par.

Isnt there a newport news guy too?

[K/H_Addict]

if i can get a saturday set aside for us to play, we'd have, ideally, about 8 hours +/- to play, assuming we get there when they open. Sunday they are only open for 5 hours...

[Starscream49]

Thats not too bad. Id make a trip for that. What time do they open?
I have a friend who plays too and Im sure he would wanna come as well.

[K/H_Addict]

i think they open at 10 and close at 8 on saturdays, but i'm not too sure.

[player_of_volleyball]

sweet, it looks like we might have a better particpation this time. IIRC they have 4 tables set up right? This should be a fun day indeed.

Yeah, 4 tables at 6x3 (roughly) each. can be combined for a 12x6 (roughly) playspace, or other combinations. Perhaps i should post an events thread, just to see what to expect participation-wise from us?

Hey guys,


I started playing heroscape a couple of months ago and dont really have anyone to play with. I was wandering if anyone lived in the va beach hampton roads area? it looks like most are from up farher north.

[K/H_Addict]

How old are you, Sir-Myst-of-Bute? If you drive (or have a ride) you are welcome to come up to the richmond area for some HS. I'm currently planning a game at Hobby Town here in Richmond on a saturday in April.

[Sir-Myst-of-Bute]

I am 20 years old. I can drive and have a car, but i am still pretty new and would most likely get crushed... But i guess thats how you learn.

[K/H_Addict]

Thats the good part about heroscape. Even if you are new, as long as you have a basic understanding of the game, you can beat even the players that have been playing the longest. You just have to out-think them. On a timeline, i have been playing HS longer than anyone in my usual playgroup, but i almost never win, because i tend to make simple mistakes, such as not looking at things in a wide perspective. If there's multiple objectives, i tend to focus only on one, where my opponents take the whole thing, and mistakes like that cause me to lose.



I'm 18, BTW (19 in spetember), and my playgroup ranges from ages 10 (or so; 6th grade) to 19
