I don't think you have to worry in this regard, Xotli. You know as well as I do that one of the things that makes this community great is that it's generally less internet than most of the internet.

Ditto. I won't be buying any of the new units (although I may print out cards and proxy for any vital units that fill big gaps like Vydar kyrie or an Aquilla flagbearer), but scatter terrain that works well with the hex tiles would be great additions to the game. I'm also weirdly excited at the possibility of 24-hex sand tiles.

That’s fair, it definitely has wasteland survival/sci-fi punk vibes, but I guess it wouldn’t accurate to say they are space pirates as these units were not clearly not sailing space as a pirate band before they arrived at Valhalla.

My example included her being targeted.

I meant the Age of Annihilation rulebook.

Bleh. We just discussed this for hours. We need answers.

I was ecstatic when the revival was announced but somehow get more excited after each new announcement. I eagerly anticipate the release of his stats, and want to test him first with stingers and warriors, then with other members of the DRS! Long live Heroscape!

Oh that old thing? Guess I’ll take another look.

Those nice clean rulings we post often have dozens or even hundreds of posts and up to tens of thousands of words of discussion behind them.

I’ll wait for the new rulebook at this point.

So with all these Pirates, I bet the "Bitter Sea" and "Haukeland" will get mentioned in bios, their set/pack names, lore in the rulebook, etc.




EDIT: Hmm, so what's that "crack" in the middle of the Bitter Sea? Is it a small rip in the map, or is it something "Pacific Rim"-ish?...

Just found out this evening... cried a little bit. Can't wait to see it back on shelves! This game was very formative to me as a kid

I guess that means Ice Pirates is out too?
