The points are always rough at first and theory scape can get you close but not there. The points are assigned and then played....as we try different combos we come to a point agreement. Fromt here if the stats change we usually can also change points to make up the difference.

Its really no different than what we used to do in the custom sections....

Re: Ask the Design Team thread.
I have a question. Grungebob talked a little bit about how WotC told you guys what would be in the set and how you were trying to show what the HeroScape game engine could do.

Is DnDScape a proving ground of sorts for HeroScape?

That is, if HeroScape had been more productive, we wouldn't have seen DnDScape? Also, it kind of sounded like HeroScape was the new guy at the party and they (WotC) was throwing stuff at it to see how it does and if it is tough enough to hang around. Is this kind of an accurate picture?

It's like football with swords or LARPing without the geeky stuff. In other words, it's awesomely perfect!

No, my point was that I think you can use Heroscape's engine to capture the flavor of many other systems. D20 has been known for it's flexibility, and I think we showed that Heroscape can be adapted rather seamlessly as well.

Thanks Grungebob. Really appreciate the insight into the relationship with WOTC. D&D is their baby, so it makes sense that they would weigh in. But I'm happy to hear they didn't have you on really short leashes.

You guys did a really good job making the Granite Guardians and Quasatch Hunters interesting units. As repaints, I was initially less than enthused. And the same goes for MS3... it feels fresh. I upped my pre-order to 5 sets after the preview.

Looking forward to see what you came up with in Waves 11 & 12.
I have never cared if they use a pre-existing mold. Just bring us more figures.
I want to thank all responsible for getting the battle onto our kitchen tables. Merry Christmas!!

And now that we have treasure glyphs, we have something to lure the pirates in. Maybe we're just waiting for a rum glyph before they can land.

Q: How long was the design team given to develop the new master set and accompanying waves?

Re: Ask the Design Team thread.
Q. When making a new squad, how do you determine the number of figures that go into the new squad?
Mess with the Dragon you're going to get burned.
Not only do the rules say you're wrong, they also say you're a duck.

Re: Ask the Design Team thread.
In terms of Classic scape figures already produced, what General's factions would you most like to see filled out?

Re: Ask the Design Team thread.
No need to be specific at all, but I was wondering, can you confirm if there will indeed be any reprints of previous waves or terrain in 2010, in addition to Wave 11 and 12? Don't need any hints, just wondering
Now through May 28th, the Louisville region is in desperate need of platelets - call the Red Cross if you are interested in donating!

Re: Ask the Design Team thread.
Related to JSC's above post:

Have the Flagbearers/Hot Lava Death been looked into for re-release at all?

How long until Heroscape becomes Wizard's flagship product (or at least more popular that MTG)?
