A lot of maps are designed with glyphs in mind so really, using a map sans glyphs when it comes with them "unbalances" it. I can only really think of one map designed without glyphs right now.

I think he's just talking about using maps that are symmetrical as possible that way no player starts out disadvantaged. I think that is a perfectly fine idea. I like symmetry for my maps, that way when you win or lose its your game and some luck rather than terrain.

Re: SoCal Slaughter! 2010 attendance/prizes plus

The "no glyphs" makes this event quite tempting. It's an hour away though.... What prizes are in the mix right now?

Re: SoCal Slaughter! 2010 attendance/prizes plus

How does one of these bad boys sound for the prize table:


*Figures not included

These Plano stow-away tackle boxes are by far my favorite way to store Heroscape figures.

Depending on how the carpool situation works out, I may be able to bring a map or two. I'll be getting in touch with the rest of the SD guys over the next week or two and I'll get back to you on that.

I don't need no instructions to know how to rock.

Is there going to be castles involved in the maps?

Probably not. There will be maps that use the FotA set, but they probably won't use the towers. There are a few fairly balanced maps that use the FotA towers, but considering so many people consider them to be unfair/unbalanced, I don't think we'll see any of them.

Re: SoCal Slaughter! 2010 attendance/prizes plus

Sorry LoneHero, I am in a similar boat and wouldn't be able to attend if not for my buddy Hextr!p.

I'll be ponying up some repaints of figures as always. Trying to narrow it down on what I can provide. Not to toot my own horn but they are often very coveted prizes.

Yea the other maps have some type symmetry where each side of the map is the same just in reverse and normally it's glyph balancing glyph On those two it's height balancing glyph. With no glyph people will just rush for height.

Seems Leo gave his rats back to me instead of to you. I'll have them for you at NHSD.

I love my war-painted Brave Arrow I won last year.



Also, I believe my collection should support me simultaneously building Road Rampage, Jagged Causeway, Invasion, and Fire Isles.

I will put something on the prize table but I'm not sure what yet.

Thank you and I almost forgot that I have your Marro Drones card. Sorry about that. I was in rush when I packed up and picked up all the Marro together.

No biggie. Thanks for reminding me though. I probably wouldn't have noticed since I have two cards for them.


Also, I just realized I'll be coming to this event having done 24 hours straight of Improv Comedy the day before. Should be an awesome weekend.
