Well met!

Is Shadow one of the best things to happen to Heroscape, or the worst? See
Shadow Discussion that prompted this poll.

Re: Shadow Poll

If there was a: Kinda Good :bubble then I would vote for that. Shadow isn't really my favorite terrain piece but it does well in some battles and also, helps both sides equally. So for now, I'll vote good.

Re: Shadow Poll

There's gotta be some middle ground.

I hold that it's an interesting addition to the game that brings new possibilities to the table. However, it is starkly out of place with everything previously released, and it was just a ploy used by WotC to hijack the game for D&D. So as a purist, I don't like them. Even if I wasn't as big of a purist as I am, I would still think that shadow is kind of out of place.

Re: Shadow Poll

Same as El_T

The +1 defense is cool because it's something between height (+1 attack and defense) and nothing. So it gives more strategic options.
Of course if the shadow hexes are placed up then it's really bad (+1 attack +2 defense hello).

In some battlefields the shadow hexes are placed down like in a hole. I think they're a bit useless that way because in 99% of cases it's better to stay even than to have +1 defense and give +1 attack to your opponent.

But otherwise it's really difficult to make it look cool on a battlefield. And it's does not really look like shadow. (I remember when people from WotC showed one hex alone in preview and people were "What is this???").

So so-so. Not awesome not awful.

Re: Shadow Poll

Stygian Rift, Bad Moon Rising, Gravel Garden, Sirocco, etc.

So yea, I think shadow was a fine addition to the game.

Re: Shadow Poll

Some of my favorite maps are covered in shadow. Defenetly a good thing!
