Cool, thanks for that description!

I was just noticing those clear plastic things on the Hive in Retlaw's pictures, and I had thought of asking about them.
Oh boy, just one more thing to get excited about!
But when will I be able to get my hands on a SoTM myself?

Work tomorrow. Too excited, but really, I must sleep!
And I will be dreaming of GenCon.

But dropping a word like, "imminent"... that sounds pretty serious. Dare I say... prophetic...?

Wasn't 'imminent' one of the words from these banners in our signatures?

Hey guys want to give a shout out before I head over to the Con this morning. I spent about 15 minutes talking to Craig and a couple of the other developers...and thet had some big news.....I haven't read through the 50+ pages in the other thread, so if this is a repeat I apologize....

The HEROSCAPE.com website is getting a major overhaul right now and it going to have an all new look and feel. They are hoping to have it online sometime in September....

They also said that the game designers would be posting a lot more strategy tips and general game playing information.

They specifically talked about setting up a game night where you had 6 people playing on one big map....they weren't completely specific about it, but they didn't mention that there would be 3 2v2 matches going on on the same map in different areas.....but figures could jump over to the other matches as well. No details on how any of that works, but they said that they get together for a lot of game nights like this and they wanted to encourage the development of community HS groups by giving more game playing info for specific situations.

By the way , I asked Craig my Nakita/Reaver scatter question and he said that he would have to look at the Nakita card and get back to me later in the week. Do I get any brownie points for stumping the designer?

That is all for now.......I'm off to the Con.

You gotta see this!

[Sparky]

Is Heroscape located in the WotC area? I saw that they've got a back-corner space this year, which seems weird, to say the least. They're usually front and center.

So, anyway, I just need to know where my kids and I are running when the doors open at 10 tomorrow morning.

Thanks for keeping this thread updated!!!! It's great to go to one thread and find all the info. Much more efficient than Comic-Con.

Updated first post with new SotM glyph rules.

I may not be able to update the news list through out the day, because things are going to be hectic at work. But I'll make sure to do so this evening when I get home.
