Starting friends in their first game!
So in the next couple of weekends, I will be introducing my group to the game of Heroscape. It has been a while since I have dusted off the game. Any new player cheat sheets or ideas you have used to introduce the game to new players would be appreciated.
as a side note, I have gained access to a 3d printer, has anyone done any printing of replacements for the game? |

Re: Starting friends in their first game!
Why hello, old timer. If you'll be playing face-to-face, this is probably not the best subforum for your question. Perhaps
@Xorlof
will move it along to a more suitable place, such as General Discussion?
Here's a cheat sheet made by my old friend @AliasQTip , who hasn't been around in a long time, sadly. |

Re: Starting friends in their first game!
I moved the thread.
As far as introducing new recruits, step one would be to assemble several balanced armies with synergy. Start with more straight forward units. If you know the players interest you can plan around that. Sci-fi guys may be drawn to soukborgs and such while fantasy guys may be pulled another direction. Marro work well for the zombie horror fans. I had a friend that had a huge interest in Japanese culture so a samurai army was right up his alley. Small 400 point armies are great too since games won't be drawn out most likely and they can trade armies. For a second game. Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

Sometime this summer. With Bats away I was nominated to try and represent the C3G contingent.

Re: Starting friends in their first game!
Well met! From the NHSD thread: "Here on Roosevelt Island, the Gang of Four is running an introduction to Heroscape event, Come Scape With Us! on Saturday, October 28. Serendipitously, the Starting friends in their first game! thread was recently started - thanks @ikkyu142! Also thanks to @AliasQTip for his player aid; I'll be sure to have a number of copies on hand [not just for the newbies]." I will be free building a Map for this event. I have a fairly large collection of 'Scape terrain, plus a number of pieces I've acquired from Petco and other places. I'm wondering what kind of Map to build, whether to include Pillars, given that their height limits the map's playability, and/or to go all out (for visuals), as opposed to keeping it relatively simple. Castles sure are striking, though! |
