Heroscape is Back? From Where?

Well met!

It never left.

I cannot speak to how important Renegade's success is to any given 'Scaper. I can only speak for myself, and hope that my perspective is helpful.

I have been on this site since 2008. I have been fortunate enough to have a regular group of guys to play with - The New York City Gang Of Four. I enjoy designing units. C3V/SoV units are "official" at our table. One of my designs, Kha, was inducted into the SoV.

I am a Martial Artist (4th degree Black Belt in Karate), a Singer (Classical, Church, Musical Theater, Caberet, And Jazz), and have read tons of Historical Fiction, Fantasy, and Science Fiction novels - all of which inform my creative imagination. To me, designing a unit for Heroscape is an art very much like Jazz. The soloist creates within a cooperative context. Improvisation and pushing the creative envelope are encouraged, but the soloist is always listening and his version

Custom Evolution

Well met!

Every once in a while, I go off the deep end with custom creation. I enjoy the process of refining them, such that they add something unique, fun, and worthy of being SoV candidates. Once, I succeeded in having one inducted.

Lately, I have been working on creating custom heroes from Pathfinder sculpts. Thanks to @mac122 for these beautiful cards!

Other than her modified Double Attack - her Hand Cannon, and her stats, Captain Xue is barely recognizable as compared to her Tricky Captain or Rogue origins.


The original idea I had for Rieka the Wolf was that she would be a Wolf in addition to being Human. That power is gone, but her wolfishness remains.


Ravenwolf was originally a disgraced Warlord and Einar, with Martial La Hire's stats as both are versions of the Iconic Hero, Valerios.

Site news

Posted February 28th, 2024 at 02:35 PM by truth
Hey everybody, this is @Xorlof . We've just gotten word that the service we use to host our server is going to be discontinued next month. This came as a surprise to us. We've hosted Heroscapers there for many years.

We're still going to be here for y'all, as always, but because of the short notice, our migration to a new hosting service will be less orderly than we'd like. We'll work to minimize any disruption, but at the very least there will be a couple of periods of slowness during the next few weeks. Nothing extreme--but eagle-eyed longtime users may sometimes notice an extra quarter second or so for a page to load. There will also be one or more nights where during the early AM hours (US Central time) we may have the site down for a while to test some aspects of the migration. During those times, there will be a page in place explaining the situation.

This loss of our hosting provider comes at a time where we were getting very close to having our long-awaited...

Writing Update #4 - February

TGRF's Writing Updates - February

February is nearing it's end, so that means it's time for another writing update. I know, your month is now complete.

Fan Fiction
February started off with an actual idea for a possible fan fiction, namely a sequel to Dawn of Darkness. It's a good idea, with quite a bit of potential. It has some issues which I could likely fix pretty easily, but doing so - and working on it in general - would require me to take time away from working on my novels.

There could of course come a time when I need some time away from my novels, and at that point, a diversion into a DoD sequel might be just what is required. At the moment however, I am not working on the story. I've written down the premise and important details, and will keep it for if I return to fan fiction.

I will say that it would likely feature an adult Taelord, several years into the war, after all the units we know and love have been...

Writing Update #3 - January

TGRF's Writing Updates - January

It's been a bit, and progress has been made in the realm of writing. So as January comes to a close, it's time for another update.

Fan Fiction
I'm going to start with this section this time, because HS is ultimately what brought us all here. There remains to be no plans for future fan fiction. As always, there are a few random ideas floating around in my head which I never got to fully explore - they may some day turn into something, or not. Right now, focus is completely on my novels, with no room for fan fiction.

I should mention that I removed the last two books of the Dilmir series. The plot is significantly close to the plot of my novels, and I don't want future readers tracking Dilmir down and figuring out what comes next before I've written it. Yes, that means those of you who have read Dilmir have a good idea what is coming, but the general public does not. Don't spoil it for them, please. ...
