Re: AStickInTheMud's Map Thread
You know, those were actually some of the last thing I was tinkering with on the map (and that 1hex glacier is actually on level 1). My intentions were that the glaciers act as LOS bockers for ranged...

Re: The Book of Shiori (AoA)
While this is certainly true mechanically, I'm not sure there should be one, thematically. The trope of ninjas is usually one of two things: the unseen master of their craft, or an extremely isolated...

AStickInTheMud's Map Thread
Hello All,
With new Heroscape coming out soon, I figured I might as well throw my hat in the ring as a cartographer as well.
For now, I have one map to share, with more being tinkered on.

Re: HeroScape is coming back!
Titles in the names of units us absolutely a common thing, and while the specific format of "[Name], the [Adjective] [Noun]" may be a bit overused, it's not without good reason. It allows for a bit...

Re: Green Wyrmling discussion and playtesting
If an outsider's perspective is welcome, why not restrict the amount of times the counterstrike ability can happen? Use markers on the card or add a "this power can only be used once each...

Re: AoA:Vanguard Campaign Postmortem
I always thought a good idea would have been to include 1copy of a common squad/uncommon hero per faction in the base set and let backers add on more copies. These copies would also be included with...

Re: AStickInTheMud's Customs
I agree with the bonding being restricted to the decayed units. Best case there is still reanimating your cyprien, but now instead of getting 2 cypriens worth of health to burn through you only need...

Re: AStickInTheMud's Customs
I would say the latter is more healthy for game balance. Chaining bonding abilities seems a bit too strong, so I'll probably change the class there to avoid the Romans interaction.
The idea was...

Re: AStickInTheMud's Customs
Cyprien's kills are not intended to reanimate undead. Only figures that are destroyed "this turn" (the vanguard's turn) can be reanimated, so unless somehow it gets a double attack, only 1 per...

Re: AStickInTheMud's Customs
I actually didn't intend on the illusion abilities to be used on enemy figures, I just forgot the "you own" restriction lol. Now that you mention it though, I do actually like this utility a lot.

Re: Vanilla Units: What would YOU cost them at?
It would be a good start, yeah, but I think a lot of the time the abilities encompass a lot of the point value of a unit, and then the stats follow.
As an example, think about Raelin's defensive...

Re: Heroscape 2nd Edition is here!
When we looked at large successfully crowdfunded campaigns, we were shocked that 70%+ backers were all-in backers. We are talking all-in packages of $600-$1000 and higher. Our expectation was that...

Re: Vanilla Units: What would YOU cost them at?
I'm not sure those ranged stats are actually worth the 30 points though. For a similar ranged figure, look at Guilty McCreech, generally regarded as an average filler unit. The main differences here...

Re: Vanilla Units: What would YOU cost them at?
I agree. While vanilla units could be a great source of consistency for a competitive player, I think the game is more intersting, and more fun, with tradeoffs in army composition.
After all, I...

The point delta is neat, but not really the thought experiment I wanted to bring up here. It does give a bit of insight into how certain units seem to perform in any given competitive game though.

A "Vanilla" unit is a term from MtG that describes a creature wihtout any abilities, only stats.
Since every Heroscape unit has some form of ability, whether useful or not, I thought it would be a...
