Is the Heroscape community dead?

Are you saying our junk is actively hanging out?

Stop staring at my eyes.

Here in New York City the four of us continue to play exactly as we did years ago, as Kolakoski mentions above. Every month brings a new twist to Scaping in our games. This site may be relatively less active, but you can still spend not hours but weeks here reading and interacting with people all over the world.

Your local scene is its own story, but check out the meetup thread for possible players who may be playing near you. Putting up your location on your profile page may help others to introduce themselves to you, as they will be able to see if you are near them!

Does your server tend to freeze a lot?

From what I have seen and read on this forum the Heroscape community shifting to different interests and like Batman said, entering a new phase. Some things that were really popular are dead like the classic forum section and other places like customs are doing so well it seems heroscape never went out of print We are smaller as a community but in many ways we are stronger.

Some people, like me, simply have had to put HS on the backburner for a while while we go through different phases in our lives.

I have my entire collection stored away right now waiting for the day when my kids are old enough for me to really introduce them to the awesomeness that is HS. My oldest is now 7 so it is about time to bring it out again and enjoy some basic games and see his eyes light up as I know they will.

So, at least one new 'scaper is about to be born.

Shortly after I joined the Codex staff, I rededicated myself to my other passions - singing and Karate. I'm also leaving shortly for our annual Jamaica trip - 5 weeks. So I am building, writing, and playing (dreaming, thinking about) Heroscape much less than before.

Even so, I will try to write something apropos while I am gone, and will resume playing upon my return.

Happy 'Scaping!

We need to try to be showing the game to new people if possible. Heroscape is such a great game that people often get hooked A buddy of mine just got hooked, and now he is crazy into it!

Since I checked Heroscapers less than 12 hours ago, over 25 threads that I am subscribed to have had new posts.

Pretty sure the community is not dead...

Heroscapers is a lot like Schrodinger's cat for me. I don't know how it's doing until I check every so often.

Now, to answer the question: HeroScape is, and always was not alive to begin with. Seriously, the pieces are plastic with flesh tones, they just looked somewhat lifelike. Trust me, that time you dropped that Marro, it didn't feel it, it isn't a living thing.

The community is also not a living thing, but it harbors living things in it.

When the last person logs off for the last time, that is when we decided that the community was ready to go, when the last piece is thrown away, that is when we decide that it was time for it to go.

Hasbro should know this much: They may have cancelled the game, but they do not have the power to kill that which has no life. We, in this community, do.
