Announcing HexiCon! April 19th, 20th-23rd, 2023

Also, if anyone needs/wants to borrow a figure, I might be able to help out, but need to know the day before you'd use it (don't plan to bring everything with me each day).

I'll just copy/paste here what I said in the Heroscape Discord:

I declare HexiCon a great success. I had a lot of fun! Not going to lie -- I didn't think it would go anywhere near as well as it did. We had players come to Louisville from six different states and it was a blast. The heroscape.org site was HUGE (sure did help its creator was there...thanks @Chris Perkins !) Looking forward to next year @MegaSilver (Tommy Adams).

+1! Thanks all for a great event!

Yes, had a great time. I broke 50% at 13-11, but at least two of my wins I will attribute to some good luck, so in my view I got less than 50% - always room to improve. Congrads to @Phantom for not only winning main event, but also top four in most tournaments, and for most improved player, as it was usually me and him in the bottom of Louisville tournament rankings.

Favorite moment of the event was definitely against @Awstin36teen and his Wildwoods where I was way behind with Deathcommander Mark 3 and 1/2 my Zettian Infantry dead, in a round I used my Zettian Infantry and Deathwalker 8000 to kill both his Wildwood Sentinels, and then used my Deathwalker 7000 to self destruct and rolled a 16 to kill his Wildwood Monarch and win the game! How often does DW7K Self-Destruct and actually win the game in a main even tournament? This might be the first time ever, or if not must be pretty rare.

Had a ton of fun at HexiCon this past weekend.

Thanks again to @MegaSilver for all his hard work organizing and running the event!

Wrote-up battle reports for all of my games (sans the multiplayer event) here if anyone is curious and wants to read them.

Also thanks to everyone who attended for their use and feedback for the .org site.

Request for @MegaSilver and @OEAO , now that HexiCon is over could we have the events renamed with an "HC1" prefix (or something similar) so that they can be easily distinguished in views like this one https://heroscape.org/user/?userName=MegaSilver

Right now it is hard to tell without additional information which events Mega has played in as part of HexiCon vs ScapeCon, etc.

This is really more of a question for me, tbh.

Since tournaments are linked to conventions, there's no need to re-name anything. I just have to update pages to append the convention name wherever it's appropriate.

I just made a change to that page to pre-pend the convention name to each tournament (when applicable). Let me know what you think.

Looks great! Would be cool to see something similar for Leagues and Seasons.
