I couldn't resist! Fixed Again!

I like all ideas that where mentioned in here: 0-height hexes or special tiles (although special tiles could not as easily be used on existing maps as 0-height hexes)

But how do you guys feel about a wire frame, hex shaped, plastic color coated, bend to fit in the groove between tiles, somewhat snugly around the raised part of a tile. I think that would still allow for the ruins to fit, they would go on and off the board rather quick, they don't add to a map and they still show the terrain they are placed on. I have to experiment a little with a paper clip when I get home....

An easier aproach to all of this would to just have "static" plastic labels that would go on the hexes. They would not slip off or tear and they would be easily removed and reusable. Think colorforms or those oil change reminder stickers they put on your windshield.

Are hexes smooth enough for that to work?

Don't know...I will test it out with my kids colorforms later.

"Colorforms" - that's what I couldn't think of when I mentioned this a few pages back. My kids used to play with them all the time, but the name was escaping me. All I could come up with (with Google's help) was "reusable stickers". Thanks for the name.

Another idea for starting zone markers is reusable stickers. These are made of thin plastic that sticks to pretty much any flat surface using static electricity. They are thin, cheap, and should come off easily since there is no adhesive. They could easily be printed as general-specific (there's an oxymoron for ya') or generic heroscape symbols.

The stickers I'm thinking of are used in a lot of kid's books to make scenes that the kids can change. I've also seen them as window clings or movable wallpaper. I think small ones will stick to HS tiles with no problem.

Now that Target and TRU are out, IMO, wal-mart would be crazy not to jump on anything Heroscape. I know this has been touched on before but circumstances have changed.

Does this open up a possibility for another RotV/EOV-like master set?

I don't have the EOV and I will still buy master sets. It would be nice to have an added bonus for picking up another couple SotM sets, already have five. Maybe a repaint of the Rechets of Bogdan or Fyorlag Spiders.

EOV = End of the Valkyrie?

Evolution of Valhalla?
End of Ventriloquism?
