Not to rain on your parade, man. The site design is great, and I can't wait for finished Horgle project.

No?

I was with ya. Funny parody!

Kinda cool listening to you on the podcast after I've already met you, made it more interesting. The others I've only kinda listened to.

I just listened to your podcast Hex and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. I had never heard of Horgle yet but then again, I never really got into the custom aspect of Scape....but man that's a cool idea. I may email you to find out how to make Horgle happen in my games.

Glad you liked it. Truth does a really good job not only with the interview process, but helping to cut out a lot of fluff and make the cast move along at a better pace.

I'm right there with you on the customs. I do enjoy the expandibility of the game through customs, as well as the MANY creative units posted on the sites through the years. However, I'm not a customs player, persay. However, I think this project will help as an 'intro to customs in your games'. Being that the units are so low cost and low maintenance in their stats and abilities, and are not meant to base an army around, will help take away from some of the intimidation players outside of customs feel when looking at custom units who cost 100+ points.

In the near future, I'm hoping to release the first couple of cards, as well as how to integrate them into games (which hopefully won't be too much of a hassle).

Sounds good.

Noodles brought up a good point in a comment on the main page of 'Scapers...

Good call on this. The topic wasn't brought up during my interview.

At a recent local HS event with other AZ 'Scapers, we got to talking about the origin of screen names. It was assumed that 'Hextr1p' was a reference to the hex shapes and pieces of HeroScape.

Not so.

For those that don't know, I've had this screen name since 2000. It came about because of my love for 311's music. The lead singer's name is Nick Hexum, and there is a song by the band called, "Nix Hex".

So, I took "Hex" and added "tr1p", or "trip" for the non-l33t speakers. And there you have it... HexTr1p.

Another great podcast guys. I would be remiss if I didn't weigh in with some gratitude. Hats off...
