One of my earlier customs was an elf wizard named Gavin Sacrens (anagram for... someone). With the release of Wave 8 and all the new elf wizards, I've been re-working his stats a bit. Here's the card as it stands now:

Then I started on the bio. I already knew from the figure design that he was wearing the skin of an Anubian Wolf, so that gave me a little to go on. At first, I was imagining him as sort of impressive, a warrior who risks himself too much.

But then I started thinking about his powers. I like for personality to flow from powers (and vice versa). Here's a guy whose major power is to enhance other powers. From a personality point of view that makes him either an extremely generous person, or... an arrogant jerk who takes credit for others' successes.

Once I had that figured out, everything flowed together. I may reword parts of this, but I'm...

In this thread, various people were posting net memes with a Heroscape theme. When the question arose as to what "net memes" are, Cavalier explained it, giving a few examples, including the infamous Chuck Norris facts.

I was immediately inspired. We needed a Heroscape version of this. And who better than our very own Sir Dupuis?

• Ne-Gok-Sa tried to mindshackle Sir Dupuis once. The resulting feedback and explosion is why none of the Marro have

Hi, everyone. I'm Finrod. I've been playing Heroscape since right around the time Wave One came out. I was on Heroscape.net for a while, got to see it disappear... moved on to heroscapehq.com... got to see it disappear... and then joined Heroscapers.com on the inaugural day. I love this game, and I love it here.

While I enjoy the game itself in all formats - tournament, draft, general-specific, or whatever, I find myself somewhat fascinated by the background story. More specifically, I enjoy reading about the characters themselves and imaging them in this bizarre situation they find themselves in.

So a couple of years ago, I finally wrote my first fiction piece for Heroscape called "Maternal Legacy." It was a short story for a contest we had on the site here. It didn't win, but I got a lot of compliments on it. The story focuses...
