Canada Scapers ???

[Trollnomiste]

Where are you?
I am in Gatineau/Ottawa ? Are there Canada'scapers close ? We cpuld try to arrange some games (even bilingual?)

[Eirikr]

Hey! I live in Ottawa. We should set up a game some time!

[netherspirit]

There are a few Canuknuckle-heads roaming the boards. :)

Hey...
...I represent that remark!

[JAZZ]

Another Canadian eh; Welcome! There are many players in the GTA and surrounding area, also some from the Kingston area. Here in Kitchener/Waterloo we are making new converts all the time. Hope you find some more players out there.

[Firemaster]

Just look at my location, you'll get an idea of where I am.

[Trollnomiste]

Hey cool!
For sure we should arrange a game soon, Eirikr.
For the other if there is some events in your place some W-e let me know!
Anyway good games my fellows beaverscapers.
See you soon...or later!

[damja]

You know, I was just thinking, having a thread named "Canada 'Scapers" would be like having a thread named "US 'Scapers".

Canada's a pretty big place, eh.

[CaptainCanuck]

FIRE MASTER I am guessing you are located some where close to barrie we actually have tourneys in barrie ontario like once a month.

As a group we should start lobbying hasbro to introduce product into canada quicker.

As well we should make hasbro aware that there are enough players to have an event at the upcoming toronto comicon. Seeing as they have monoply risk and scrabble tournaments at the show.

[atmospro]

Captain I would think FIRE Master is more towards either Lindsay or Peterborough (maybe not quite that far).
I on the other hand am about 20 minutes from Barrie and would love to attend your tournaments. I've never seen anything in the Barrie area about these events Where are you holding them?

There is definitely enough players. We had I think 20 players at the last Southern Ontario Tourney, but with nicer weather (it snowed heavily that morning) we would have had around 30. With some planning next it could happen its to late to be included in the Gaming Expo this year. that's also a bad weekend for me. I could see 50 or more players coming to that event. Their are some player from the big smoke that only use public transit and can not to our events out side the city.

It should be noted that Fan Expo has gotten outrageously expensive in the last few years. With all the separate entrance fees and so on.

[CaptainCanuck]

The tournaments are located in the Bayfield mall at the gaming store sir games a lot the tournaments get about 10-15 every time they run. We have one a month. The next one is Sept. no firm date has been set yet. This store actually had wave 7 just a couple days after it came out.

[atmospro]

Interesting, I've haven't seen Vince in a while. I'll have to drop by the store.

I'm about half way between Peterborough and Toronto (actually, now that I think of it, perhaps my location is not quite accurate. If I remember correctly, I'm a little closer to 1/2 hour-45 mins from Toronto.) According to my dad, I'm roughly a 2 hour drive from Barrie. So I probably couldn't head up that way any old time, but if a big enough event was able to be organized I might be able to go.

[atmospro]

Clarington (Bowanville)? That would put you about 45 mins from TO and an one hour and half from Barrie. NE would put you around Uxbridge or Port Perry but thats not anywhere near 2 hours from Barrie.

[CaptainCanuck]

Is there any tournaments in your areas that you have heard about. We should all be posting our upcoming events on this site to create interest.

[Firemaster]

Clarington (Bowanville)? That would put you about 45 mins from TO and an one hour and half from Barrie. NE would put you around Uxbridge or Port Perry but thats not anywhere near 2 hours from Barrie.

Bowmanville is quite close; I live in Oshawa. I just put my general vicinity because it is a habit I have not to reveal my exact location online. However, I plan on eventually doing trades and whatnot with other people on this site, so my location will be found out anyways.

[CaptainCanuck]

do you guys all play with large groups or just your families. I play with my wife and a couple of my friends. Fire what are you looking for that you want to trade.

[atmospro]

I play with my family and couple of other scapers met at the oturnies we held, but really I don't get to play that often. I would be interested in setting up a game or two.

[CaptainCanuck]

do you play in a lot of tournies? I play like twice a week for like 4 hrs every time

[atmospro]

No. We've only had 2, but the caliber of play was very strong. I play about once a month if I'm lucky. Seriously I need to play more. Problems is I'm busy and my wife is not a strong player, so when I do play it just for fun. That one of the reasons I did the first tournament to meat some other players.

[CaptainCanuck]

I wish my wife wasn't strong she hands me my ass like all the time. How big was your tourney?

[atmospro]

The first one drew 13 players and the second Ketch and I did drew 20 although we had 26 registered.

[CaptainCanuck]

Was that the one in kitchener area?

[atmospro]

Yes. The first one was in Brampton. If you look through the events forum you'll find the threads

[CaptainCanuck]

I was actually going to try and go to that one but I had to work saturday. Most of our tourneys are held sunday

[Firemaster]

I was reading another thread, and in it, it mentioned the 'Official' Heroscape day. I was thinking that we should not let our fellow scapers down south have all the fun. I think we should see if we can't put something together for those of us in the Great White North.

[CaptainCanuck]

whats the date of heroscape day.

[Firemaster]

whats the date of heroscape day.

I believe it is said that it is the 3rd Saturday of October. In any case, this year it is on Oct. 20, the day after my birthday.

[CaptainCanuck]

what did you have in mind?

[Firemaster]

what did you have in mind?

Absolutely no idea. I was hoping that those of us in this area could put our heads together and come up with something.

[CaptainCanuck]

It only seems that we have 3 of us. We need to get recruiting

[atmospro]

If you build it they will come.

There are a lot of people on here in the GTA. If you put something together they will come. Start a thread in the event section and get the ball rolling. I know of at least 5 people that will come for sure and there are number of player from TO that only use the TTC so if you can find a place in TO they will come.

[CaptainCanuck]

Even though it would not be great for the #'s if I was going to put the time and effort into it I would have it in the great white north. Just for ease of getting things arranged seeing as I am not from T dot

[MrBishop]

Captain Canuck - I think you would get a good sized turn out as well. I would definetly attend a tournament in Barrie if available (it is under an hour's drive from Toronto in good traffic) and could even pick Atmospro and others up on my way through if necessary.

Glad to hear there is a good sized Heroscape group in Barrie as well as Waterloo!

[Firemaster]

Even though it would not be great for the #'s if I was going to put the time and effort into it I would have it in the great white north. Just for ease of getting things arranged seeing as I am not from T dot

I'm sure I'd be able to make it, even if it's held in Barrie, rather than Toronto. Get something set up, and I will do whatever I can to come (though, if you do begin to put things together, I think it would be best if this line of discussion was carried over to the Events section).

[CaptainCanuck]

just so you guys know we are having a tourney on sept 23 on sunday starting at 10 am I believe at sir games a lot in the bayfield mall. But for heroscape day we should try and get something going I will see what can be done.

[Firemaster]

just so you guys know we are having a tourney on sept 23 on sunday starting at 10 am I believe at sir games a lot in the bayfield mall. But for heroscape day we should try and get something going I will see what can be done.

All right, good luck on that. It also appears that I will be able to show up for your monthly tournament as well. Just a couple questions first:

1. Any fees for entering the tournament?
2. Would it require any pre-registering at all?

[CaptainCanuck]

$15 the day of the tourney $10 in advance its a 500 point limit. We usually get like 10+ and there are always prizes.

[CaptainCanuck]

As soon as the events section is up I will put it on there

[damja]

just so you guys know we are having a tourney on sept 23 on sunday starting at 10 am I believe at sir games a lot in the bayfield mall. But for heroscape day we should try and get something going I will see what can be done.
If interested, I am planning a tournament in Ann Arbor, MI for National Heroscape Day. One of the prizes will be a Win Chiu Woo with an autographed card by CVN and the rest of the HeroScape Development Team! Send me a pm if interested. There will be a thread under "events" after I work out all the details.

By the way, I think people mean the event thread, not the events section.

[Eirikr]

As a group we should start lobbying hasbro to introduce product into canada quicker.

As well we should make hasbro aware that there are enough players to have an event at the upcoming toronto comicon. Seeing as they have monoply risk and scrabble tournaments at the show.

I would be more interested in convincing Hasbro to fill the shelves up here with earlier products, especially waves 1-4 and RTTFF. I have found that most new sets are on the shelves here within a month of release, usually a lot sooner. That's soon enough for me but I really want those earlier releases.
In fact if Hasbro.com would ship to Canada all of my wishes would have been answered by now.
I too would love to see HeroScape at the Toronto comicon and some other events.
Canada Scapers Unite! We deserve equal treatment!

[CaptainCanuck]

I agree that is my major beef with hasbro canada. Even the new stuff takes it s time. Its not like canada is very far from the US. I have finally aquired all the sets minus the bridge set and the gencon exclusives through e-bay. But I agree if we raise enough of a stink maybe we can affect change.

[Firemaster]

$15 the day of the tourney $10 in advance its a 500 point limit. We usually get like 10+ and there are always prizes.

Well, I don't think I will do the pay in advanced, but it looks like I will definitely be going, and I'll likely be bringing my 2 brothers along. So, unless something gets in the way, I guess my brothers and I will be seeing you then.

[CaptainCanuck]

make sure you contact the organizer so he can pencil you in. You mentioned trading some stuff what re you looking for because I may be interested in trading somethings

[Firemaster]

You mentioned trading some stuff what re you looking for because I may be interested in trading somethings

I pretty much need everything other than the Large Hero packs, however I really have nothing to trade (except maybe some PS2 games).

[CaptainCanuck]

I am looking for swog riders orc archers blastatrons gladatrons to round out my collection

[Sidion]

why are you all way over on the east side of Canada?

and i would like to up the count to 4.

[Madd_Mugsy]

Boooo.... Everyone's so far away :cry:

Any 'scapers in BC?

[Sidion]

i'm closer then Ont.

[CaptainCanuck]

because thats were the bulk of canada population is based.

[Obsidian3d]

Haha sure, but don't try telling that to people that live in Vancouver, Edmonton or Calgary. We'll lynch you, or at the very least throw empties at you.

[CaptainCanuck]

Have family out that way I was there a week ago. No slag about the area its very scenic. But not as heavily populated.

[War Solves Everything]

I live in Sherwood Park which basicly is Edmonton. Anyone live close to me?

[Sidion]

i would say check out the edmonton thread.
but you already have.

so this post is worthless..........

[Madd_Mugsy]

Yes, and we also get to live longer thanks to lower pollution levels :wink:


i'm closer then Ont.

But you're still 12 hours away :(

I'd make a BC Heroscapers thread, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one on here...

[Sidion]

but i like walking around in a gas mask.....

[War Solves Everything]

Have any of you been to America. I just moved from Vegas. There's a lot of fat people there.

[Sidion]

there are alot of fat people here too.

[Obsidian3d]

Uh...ok this is a minor rant. Technically, everyone living in Canada, US or Mexico had been to America. The continent is named North America...so...
Most Canadians will call it the US or USA, since that's the name of the place. But I'll agree with you on Las Vegas, and a few other US cities. Wow...big people. I mean, there are big people here too, but not on quite the same scale! Yes, bad pun... :P

[derekjinx]

I live on the west side of Brampton. I tend to play at the local hobby shop or on my patio when it's warm. I host all the games for family/friends. I'm looking for more events as I dont get to play often enough.

[JanderSunstar]

I live in Seattle, but frequent Vancouver, and would love to play next time I'd'm up. Maybe you can make it to Seattle area for our next tournament on the 20th of O'clockctober.

[Firemaster]

Since this thread has been brought up again, CaptainCanuck, how's it coming with setting something up for Heroscape day?

[RedSkullz]

Unfortunately Sept. the 6th is the day after i am getting home from vacation so i wont be able to attend...i'll make it to the next tourney date hopefully.

[CaptainCanuck]

if you don't come out to play maybe come out and watch the tourney.

[Aquaryan]

I should respond here, as well.

Vancouver, BC, here!

[Akrashan]

Hi everyone, first post on Heroscapers!

I'm in the Quebec City area... actually an hour or so south-east of QC. I seriously doubt there's many of us 'Scapers round these parts (I saw Gatineau -- that quite a drive for a game or two :)) but you guys can put my name in the pot, if anything happens around here!

[CaptainCanuck]

There have been a bunch on new canadian scapers appearing lately. I wonder why the sudden influx of new people to heroscape from canada?

[Soridir]

Hey I live in St. Agatha which is close to Kitchener

[Tundra]

Any one know of another way to find people to play with. I am looking for any one on Vancouver Island.

[Gedinblackbar]

My wife and I moved to Calgary recently and I am looking for fellow 'Scapers to play the occasional game with. I also enjoy playing Euro-boardgames and D&D. If you are living in Calgary and intrested in discussing this more, please send me a PM or respond to this post.

Thanks,

Just thought I would sound off once again for Saskatchewan. (Regina).

If there are enough people within a days drive we could get a regional event planned. I would be willing to take point on that. I have an active group in Regina and if we pull from Saskatoon, Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, Calgary, & Winnipeg...
...there would be enough for a decent sized event. Not sure on the willingness of others to travel. Just planting the thought!

[Eirikr]

Anyone here ever been to a CanGames (http://www.cangames.ca/) event or a Game Summit (http://www.gamesummit.ca/index-eng.php)event here in Ottawa. There is a Game Summit on the last weekend of August (2 weeks) and I am planning to attend. It would be cool to hook up with some fellow Scapers...

That sounds like a great idea. I'm in The Hat, but haven't really found anyone in the area that plays Heroscape...though I know that they are somewhere.

[Bixby]

I know there is a regular game group in Medicine Hat. Not sure if they play HeroScape, I think a couple of them own it. You should check at ComicReaders to see if they know of established gaming groups. They might be able to put you in contact with someone.

I had a great time at Game Summit today in Ottawa. I ran the demo and got a chance to introduce over a dozen people to our favourite game. We are going to run a 450pt RotV draft tournament tomorrow afternoon. I will be supplying all the terrain and figures but there is only space for 8. I would love to see some of you there. Or feel free to come by in the morning with your pre-built 500pt army and we can sit down for a more competetive game.

I just got a starter and a few boosters, but I got them from a hobby shop, and they don't have much more (all at full price).

Is there a better place?

[Toad Rocket]

Here is a plug for the lower fraser valley area for BC.

I know you guys are out there, the owner of my FLGS has said that there are lots of dudes buying HS the last few months. So come out of the wood work and lets get some game on.

There has been talk of doing a mini tourney if we can actually get enough names on paper to commit.

[Therrian]

I would be down for something like that. Hard to travel out to the valley for a pick up game though.

Toys r Us has quite a bit of non-booster stuff on clearence, so they are likely your best bet for the near future. Otherwise the only other place I could find was Sentry Box which has a decent supply, but they charge full price. Let me know if you find anywhere else to get it.

[Toad Rocket]

I would be down for something like that. Hard to travel out to the valley for a pick up game though.

Yeah, thats a bit of the problem, I met some onliners in the Greater Vancouver area, but that can be an hour drive from the valley. That is a bit of a long drive for a couple games of HS. I would do that drive for an HS event, but not just a couple pick up games.

Something a little more local would be nice.

We've run a couple of tournaments now at craving for a game in Central City Mall in surrey. Hoping to make it a once a month thing. Also on facebook I have a group entitled "Vancouver Area Heroscapers" you should check it out

When abouts do you normally hold the games? Like are they on weekends or during the week? In the morning, afternoon, night?

Do you ever hold any introducing new player to the game kind of events, or are they always strict tournaments?

[JediKaltax]

In the past I have run demos on weekends which never really went all that well. the two tournies I ran had an okay turn out one was on a friday night the other on a monday night as weekends at the store are super busy. I want to I think for the next gameday run a free for all tournie on a big map. I'm thinking that big map is going to be helms deep

[Therrian]

I would be interested in coming out for that perhaps. Make sure to post an event on these boards so that those of us lurking in the lower mainland know whats up :D

Hello, I just found this thread and thought to reply. I have been collecting quite a bit of Heroscape in the last year or so (own 213 pieces) -- it is very good gaming fun for the $$ :) -- but I haven't played much yet. :(

it's good to see others are organizing across the country! Now that we've started a new year, maybe a group of players can organize in Ottawa? :)
