If only you knew someone that had lots of terrain...

Re: Gen Con 2021

I was considering attending Gencon, but the restrictions you mentioned (though very sensible) do sound like a turnoff

Re: Gen Con 2021

Thanks for everything you guys do. This is a really great way to support the local scenes. Sad to miss another year of Gencon Scape but I think that was the right call.

If they,Gen Con, actually pulls this off its going to have a very "twilight zone" feel.

From what I've heard form some publishers the dealer hall might just be a shopping market, no in booth demos and attendees might be limited to one day only in the dealer hall, think another lottery system.

Starting to wonder if I am even going to bother going. A good possibility of no events like in the past and one day to "shop"

Re: Gen Con 2021

I know this was a very difficult decision, guys, and I thank you for steering this ship faithfully for all the years you've been at the wheel.

For what it's worth, my opinion from the cheap seats is that you made the right call. See you next year, I hope.

If you're looking for a good GenCon alternative this year, check out CoVCon! 4 days of HeroScape in Indy. It should be a blast!

We commit to send prize support to any of you guys who organize some of these pop up events. Here are the rules:
1. Must be advertised on heroscapers.com
2. Must have 8+ attendees
3. Must happen between the time the original Gencon dates (Aug 4) and the new Gencon dates (Sep 19).
4. PM Lonewolf and myself the link to your post about the event at least week ahead of time so we can ensure you have a prize before the event. One prize per event.

I would love for all the bigger scenes (Peoria, Utah, Michigan, Texas, Louisville, California, the Northeast) to all represent local tourneys during the "Gen Con" time frame. Also I would love for this to be a jumping off spot for maybe some of you that have thought about running an event but just weren't sure about logistics, etc. Maybe you could start a new heroscape scene locally.

Also running a mini con isn't too tough either: find some buddies, rent an air bnb, figure out how you want to handle food, and decide on what games you're going to play. It's simple really and an absolute blast. You can even schedule different tournaments if you want. Heck, we had a speed painting contest at the last Kencon and I'm sure it'll make an appearance at Kencon 3.0.

If you guys are interested in running something but don't know how to start, shoot me a PM. I would love to try and help you walk through it. You really can do it, like I said I figured it out, so it can't be that tough.

Anyway, Be safe and play some heroscape!

So we were able to get 10 sets of Heroscape Gencon dice for local events that meet the qualifications above. @Matthias Maccabeus is in charge of this and it is first come first serve. I know some of you have already reached out to MM, but it is probably a good idea to check in with him again to make sure your are on the list!


I just got the dice today, so they are unpainted, but here they are!


Big thanks to @Cavalier for cutting these for us!!!!!
