Heroscapers - Northeast (New England) NHSD 2011: Mash-Up Smash-Up Game Day

Northeast (New England) National Heroscape Day 2011: Mash-Up Smash-Up Game Day
Sponsored by RacNRoll Gaming and Boxed Up Fun

This year for National Heroscape Day 2011, we've planned something big, something different, something fun. Something...diverse! Taunting huh? Read on!

When: National Heroscape Day of course! October 15th, 2011. You may officially begin gaming at 10:30 AM, so please arrive by 10:00 AM if possible. Gaming will officially end and we will move to prize raffles at around 5 PM (may be earlier). If you cannot arrive by 10:00 AM (long drive, other matters, whatever the case), that is fine! This is a game day, so come and leave whenever you please.

We can get into the church as early as 8:00 AM. If you plan on bringing maps or helping with set-up, please arrive between 8:00 and 9:30 AM.

Where: First Congregational Church, 880 Western Avenue, Brattleboro, VT, 05301, (802) 254-9767. Map information

The church is the First Congregational Church, NOT the Green Mountain Church nearby. The entrance is on the side near the back, but you must drive the long way around the church because it's a one-way zone due to the nearby school. The entrance will be marked with a sign on the door, and it is the entrance with the onning. Please do not use the front entrance. Once through the door, walk down a short hall after turning right to get to the room, through double-doors which will be open. There will be 3 long rows of tables for maps. In either the front or the back we will have a prize table set up. When you enter the room, turn right for restrooms.

There is plenty of places to eat nearby, including West Brattleboro Pizza just a short walk down the street.

Format: This year for National Heroscape day we are not running a tournament. That's right, no tournament. What's this you say? Well, we thought that since it is National Heroscape Day, we should celebrate the many aspects of Heroscape that have brought us joy throughout the years. So we will be doing a Mash-Up (Smash-Up) to celebrate the many diverse ways that Heroscape can be played.

At each table in our vast playing space (special thanks to Ruth Tripp for allowing us to use this space multiple times over the past year!), you will get to play a different format of Heroscape! That's right! Each table is different. There may be 2 of the same format in the room, but that is to accommodate for the many options so that every single person can play exactly what they want, and also try out some new things.

For those with a competitive itch, we will be running Alley Brackets beginning every two hours. Each Alley is a 3 round, single-elimination tourney consisting of 8 people, where players play regular 1-on-1 games. Anyone can participate in any number of Alleys, but it is not required.

Spoiler Alert!

All things considered, enjoy a nice day of casual gaming and have fun with it!

Prizes: Since there is no tournament this year, prizes will not be given out by order of standings (because there is no standings). Instead, they will be raffled. All attendees will receive 1 raffle ticket. All attendees to contribute at least 1 prize to the prize table will receive 1 additional raffle ticket1. In addition, 5 formats will be chosen as Recommended Formats. All attendees who play at least 1 game in each of the 5 Recommended Formats will receive 1 additional raffle ticket (Everyone will be given a sheet to record which formats they have played).

This year, we are hoping for a rather interesting prize table. Since everything will be raffled, it is okay to bring repaints, custom figures and/or terrain, mods, to contribute to the prize table (boosters, sets, and other games *Heroscape preferred however* are still perfectly fine). We also have prize support from our friends Rÿchean, EternalThanos86, and Boxed Up Fun. The more prizes, the better!

What you need to bring: Every player needs to bring at least 1 450 point army to participate. All scenarios and game types will call for a 450 point army. So yes, you can use 1 army for every format. However, since this is casual, feel free to bring as many different armies as you'd like.

In the Alley tourneys, you will not be allowed to switch armies in between rounds.

If you so choose, just for fun, you might consider combining a couple of your armies with a couple of your opponents for a fun draft. However, this will not count as a Draft for the Recommended Formats.

It is highly suggested that your army not take up more than 16 starting hexes as to accommodate for team games and such.

Maps: Will be updated frequently as decisions are made. Next to each map you will find what format will be played on the map, as well as a small note regarding who is responsible for bringing the map.
