A change in pace

I hate my job, plain and simple, and want out something fierce in order to take up something I truly enjoy. Writing.

I have a few short stories revolving around a central character and will continue to flesh him out until NaNoWriMo. I will post updates here of the characters, and stories as we approach November, and will use this blog as a journal through the adventure of writing a novel.

The main character, Selkirk (Rest unrevealed at this point) is a supernatural investigator in a world that has shunned their harder to explain ancestry. Set in an alternate time line we will explore humanity, and what it truly means.

We played this game using Fast Easy Heroscape rules on a simple map called "Dry Riverbed." I was inspired to make the map because we have a lot of dry riverbeds around here and I wanted to make something really nice and open for the Templar Cavalry. It was completely flat except for a few 2 or 3 high rock outcroppings along the edges.

Early game (no rounds):

Use a Notepad!

Posted August 10th, 2008 at 03:51 PM by Eckels
There are a lot of things to remember in the game of Heroscape. Unfortunately, it can be very easy for even the most experienced player to forget about special abilities, height advantages, auras or other dice buffs. Nothing is more frustrating than realizing you...

...forgot to roll for Frenzy for the first two rounds...
...didn't remember to add dice for Raelin's defense aura...
...could have saved a few of the Microcorp agents, had you remembered to roll for Stealth Armor....

I wanted to know whether anyone would be opposed to using them in tournament matches, whether they were facing an opponent with a notepad, or using one themselves. Overall, the response was very positive. Everyone...

A LOSERS GUIDE TO WINNING TOURNAMENTS
-or-
8 helpful steps to becoming a complete bastard of an opponent.

If you've been playing in tournaments but haven't yet been able to pull out a win, here are some quick and easy tips to help you make it to the top!

1 Every die roll could have been better.
You expect more from your dice and your opponents must know it! No roll is strong enough. Grumble at your dice, and curse your own luck, even in victory!

2 Make sure they show you every single die roll.
Sure your opponent may say they didn't defend against those three skulls, but why should you believe them? Make your opponent know you'll believe your own eyes, thank you.

3 It's all in the eyes.

To succeed on the battlefield, you must first conquer your opponent's spirit. Glare at your opponent. Make them uncomfortable. Divert their attention from the action, because...
