Well met!

chas, I and Taeblewalker will be playing 'scape at my place on Friday, 11/2. Pictures of the Map are in the Gallery, but I will post a few here.


The Green Maze!

The Map.

The Sand hexes on either end of the Map are the Start Zones. The Maze is made up of all the Dungeon hexes on the Map.

Mostly Marr

Posted October 23rd, 2012 at 08:52 AM by Sylvano the Wasabus
We have been playing a lot of the game we call messenger of late. It’s a simple scenario- to win you must simply get one figure to cross the map and step off the other side. It makes for some exciting games.

We have been playing 900 points against 900 points on a medium-large map, with ruins, trees and some small heights. Some days we manage to get in three or four games, by taking short cuts. (reusing the same armies and maps, eating peanut butter straight out of the jar instead of having supper, etc)

We have so many figures and so many customs it’s fun to take different armies all the time. Of late I have for some reason been taking mostly Marr. It’s been a while since I’ve taken Marr and to be honest we think they’re a hard army to get right. In the beginning I took Tor Kul Na- who doesn’t love him? He excites me. I want to trample everyone. But he’s a big target and he was always the first figure of mine destroyed, often before he had done...

Shoot the messenger

Posted October 15th, 2012 at 09:12 AM by Sylvano the Wasabus
We have been playing a variation of our scenario game called messenger- I guess the game is called Short Messenger. It’s short because the map is short and the game is short. Well named, don’t you think?

We played five games last night in about two hours. Since some have been asking,, I’ll tell you how to play one of our custom games.

Regular Messenger (where the board is long and narrower) is a fighting game. Short messenger (where the board is short but wide) is all about strategy. Some of the games only went two turns. The silliest part was when my younger son grabbed my dice and had a good look at them. One of them had three skulls, two blanks and only one shield.

We play so much we wear the paint off the dice. I’ve already repainted most of them. (I’m not very good at painting skulls). Then I repainted and applied a sealer. Now I repeat and put on clear nail polish. It all wears off, but that’s okay. We really like playing....

Heroscape and Beyond

Posted October 9th, 2012 at 07:45 PM by BoneSnap
One of the things that always caught my eye with Heroscape is the ease with which it can be added to. I can browse Heroscapers.com almost any day and find new ideas, new maps, new figures, or new strategies. I find it amazing that when Heroscape was officially discontinued, it’s community stepped up and decided not to get the memo. Don’t quote me on this, but I’m fairly sure that more customs have been created since the discontinuation of Heroscape than Hasbro and WotC ever officially made for the game. Heroscape still has a thriving community of talented and creative fans that aren’t about to quit.

That being said, however, all that creativity and talent is still crammed into a tightly defined mindset. Maps are designed using 2 or 3 sets and built for 500 point 1v1 matches. Figures and customs are still evaluated based on 500 point armies. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with a 500 point game. I’ve played several tournaments at or around 500 points and enjoyed...
