I have several good friends who live about an hour away from me in Sanford NC, as I do not drive, (because I am color blind) it is hard to get down there as often as I would like.

The weekend before Thanksgiving, Chad came up and took me down to spend the weekend with him. My wife is very supportive of my hobby and lets me spend an awful lot of time away from her to pursue my gaming needs. She feels that if I am going to spend a couple thousand dollars on a hobby I had better get the most out of it.

When we play we have a few house rules that we use to better incorporate the DnD units into classic Heroscape.

1st. All Elves are Elves, Half-Elves, Drow, Eladrin and anything else that could be considered an Elf is an Elf.

2nd. All constructs and War Forged are considered to be the same as Soulborgs as far as immunities go. This includes the Elementals and the Golem.

3rd. All Valkrill units are considered to belong to Utgar....

How Heroscaper’s changed my life.

I have been a table top gamer since 1978 when I first got into D&D, then in 1982 I joined the USN and found a lot of gamers onboard the various ships I was stationed on. I fell in love with miniature war games in the late 80’s with games like Battle Tech, Star Fleet Battles and Space Marine, but I was always embarrassed to admit my hobbies to family and friends that did not play games, as I thought it would make me seem like I was still a child.

Then in 2005 I found a new game, Heroscape, I fell in love with this game and started playing with my sons and other gaming friends, but was still embarrassed to tell co-workers or other non-gaming friends. Then in mid 2008, I discovered this site and it opened my eyes to a lot of possibilities as well as the fact that I was not the only 40-something that still played games.

It wasn’t until I read an article from Revdyer that I realized that I could hold my head up...

Just became a Site Supporter. I have been wanting to do this for a long time, now I finally did.

I may ramble latter.
