The Houses of Heroscape
Or Who's Your General?

My sons and I started playing heroscape when they were little. We play our own weird version- and one of its weird aspects is the whole “summoning generals” theme. I'm familiar with the backstory mythology but my sons never really bought into that. Instead, over time, Jandar, Utgar, Ullar, etc have evolved from something quasi-religious (they first decided that Jandar was a god) into something like tribes, or nations. And then into something like “houses”- like at Hogwarts. That is probably the best description for the current state of our game.

My fifteen year old daughter is a dedicated Harry Potter Alternative Universe creature- All Slytherin, all the time. She likes to debate and we have many discussions about Utgar- are they evil, or are they just misguided? Not evil, she insists, just self-serving opportunists- she sees selfishness as a survival mechanism. Not misguided- those Utgarites...

Do you love the Marvel set? Or maybe you've been thinking about giving it a try for the first time? Have you wished that there were more figures available for it, including squads? Do you wish the license extended into other universes, such as DC? What is a superhero-lovin' Heroscaper to do?!
Sure, you could play with the many customs on the site. But even though many of them are excellent, how do you know if they're balanced? What if they're not compatible with customs made by other creators? How much playtesting, if any, actually went into them?
For you the comics fan, we at C3G have taken action. We are very proud to introduce the first of hopefully many C3G releases: DC Heroscape Custom Large Expansion: World's Finest!"

Finally, I feel all better almost after a week. Tonight I have a basketball game. I will post the score in my blog later. My game is at nine o'clock so it will be awhile. Hope I win and wish me luck.

Allopatric Speciation
Or is my Heroscape your Heroscape?

“Allopatric speciation is the phenomenon whereby populations are physically isolated by an extrinsic barrier and evolve dissimilarly due to the isolation- becoming two separate but related species.”

I am a single father with four kids, two jobs and a cat that throws up on everything. You might not think that we are scapers, but we are.

My son received SOTM one year for Christmas- after Santa had been looking at it in a TRU store for over a year. Money’s always tight, so Santa tries to be careful. The boys were small, 5 and 8, and games had to be simple and quick. We began to play Scape, the basic game.

Then we found a beat up ROTV on clearance at a big store. The boys loved all of the new figures, especially the Tarn. Quickly the basic game was not enough and we began to incorporate elements of the Advanced game while still keeping much of the basic game....

Images are often an integral part of posting in an internet forum. Working with images however, can be complicated and frustrating. In this article I’m going to cover everything you need to know about adding images to the Gallery, your posts/blog, and your uploaded files; as well as a few suggestions on their construction and presentation.


How do I upload my images?
Before you can post your images in a thread or blog they have to be stored online somewhere. If you’re a site supporting member at HeroScapers you can upload them directly to the Gallery. If you’re not, I strongly suggest you become a member today! There are also a bunch of other websites (e.g. Flickr, ImageShack, MediaFire, Photobucket, etc.) that will allow you to host your images for free.

Uploading to the Gallery at HeroScapers is straightforward and easy. Simply click the Gallery tab and then Upload. Follow the on-screen prompts to select, name, and describe the image file....
