Re-introduction Thread

[noodles]

Hey, I was just wondering if there was a thread for members that used to be active in the community, but faded away, and are now coming back and want to reintroduce themselves?

[KRUG!]

I think you just created it!

I’ve been playing ‘Scape since receiving it as a gift from my wife as a Christmas gift in 2005, which is a story unto itself. She had told me to update my Amazon wishlist as members of her out of town family were starting to shop for the holiday. At that time I knew nothing of HeroScape, having never seen or heard of it. I recall surfing Amazon looking for things to add to my list, while paying as little attention as possible to the actual task, as I worked on something else more important to me at the time. I recall the stock picture of the RotV master set catching my eye, on one of those “customers that looked at this item also looked at this item” links, and thinking to myself “Even if the game sucks, I can find some other uses for the hex terrain and all the painted figs.” So I added it to the list, promptly forgetting about it by the time I had finished adding things to my list. Flash forward to Christmas morning, my wife is super excited to give me my main present. There are several packages that, according to her, all go together so I need to open them in a specific order. The first of the packages she gives me turns out to be the RotV master set. I don’t have the “ oh wow!” Reaction she is expecting, and she is disappointed by my response of “It looks pretty groovy, but I don’t really know what this is.” she says “You had it on your wishlist, I assumed you really wanted it!” I explained how it got on my wishlist, and that I had forgotten all about it! She said “well then, you’re going to be disappointed with the rest of your gift”, as she had found that there were expansions for the game and had scrambled around trying to get me one of each that she could find. I also wound up with a RttFF, an Orm’s Return, a Drones & Minions, a Knights and The Swog Rider, a Heroes of Nostralund and a Heroes of Barrenspur. I spent the week between Christmas and New Years figuring out the game and brought it out at our annual New Year’s Eve gaming get-together. None of our friends had heard of or seen the game before and thought it was awesome. It was the only game I played all evening, and four of us actually kept playing until the sun came up on New Years Day. I found the Heroscapers website in September 2006, and, as they say, the rest is history. I’m currently working on getting back to a monthly ‘Scape day at my home in the ‘burbs north of the ATL. I’m not sure exactly how much ‘Scape I own, tons of terrain, I think all exclusive figs except Sir Hawthorn, all Unique Heroes and Squads, and three or more of all Common Squads. LOTS of Orcs and Zombies, just because. If you want an idea of the quantity of terrain I have, check out some of the pics I have in the gallery here. I’d put some more pics in the gallery, but have been unable to recall how to do it since it’s been so long since I uploaded any pics here. Planning on being more active here with the announcement of the release of new HeroScape.

So I did lol. Well here goes...

Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Steve, aka "Noodles" and I am one of the original members. I was there for the .net site and was there for Rob's famous "Hot Lava Death" comment. I was very active in the community all the way until the end, so 2004 - 2012? I even worked on the Codex and reviewed expansions for the site. I consider Heroscape to be the greatest game ever and I have quite a large collection (13 master sets, 5 castle sets, 9 of all other terrain sets, some custom terrain off ebay, and 3 of every figure pack). This game really made me into the gamer that I am today and I was led to Heroscape by some of Rob and Craig's earlier games, namely Star Wars Epic Duels. However, I do not play very much anymore, although it still takes up an entire closet lol. I've always been amazed that the community continued to thrive all these years after the game stopped, and I've lurked a few times here and there, but with the latest news, I look forward to rejoining the community and being part of the ride that is Heroscape 2.0. I look forward to talking to you all and hopefully reconnecting with some long lost friends. Thanks everyone.

I've been looking around and I see lots of names I recognize from back in the day. Wow, I can't believe you all are still here! Oh how I've missed you all.

I've hardly posted at all since you've been gone

Welcome back, noodles!

[Mythic]

I was here from day one too... as EyeOfSauron.

I've popped in here and there over the years but have been more active on the HS Facebook group the last couple of years (I'm sorry ) just because it's easier to consume.

Somebody helped me merge my old account with this new Mythic one.

Glad to be back!

So that's where you went! Nice to have you back!


I'm Elven Lord. Always been Elven Lord except for two occasions when I opened new accounts. The first instance was a result of well, perhaps being a bit too vocal and irascible about topics of a political and religious nature which my 13 year old brain had little to no grasp of. My rep was in the dirt so I opened a new account. @Aldin was pissed. Bless him for not banning me. The second was more recently when I forgot my password and the email I used was defunct. Then remembered I never changed the password

I started playing Heroscape when my older brother @Uhurugu began his freshman year of highschool (2006?). Our younger brother (@orcsbane) and I immediately followed suit as we always did (Uhurugu was always the leader of our little fraternal band) and spent all our money and every dollar we could scrape together, beg, borrow, or steal (not steal jk), to purchase Heroscape.

I don't remember when we found Heroscapers (EDIT: Join Date 2009 lol) but it was a while before our father let us open online accounts. He was finally convinced after reviewing the community himself and realizing it was well moderated by mature admins.

I was extremely active for several years even after scape was discontinued. Lacking a vehicle and with diminishing interest in the game in favor of my older brother's new favorite game, Magic the Gathering, playing the game itself faded into memory. I was still active on the forum doing fanfictions (mostly about MTG), and hanging out with buddies. But as the community wained, I did too. Follower through and through

I then disappeared sometimes for years at a time, occasionally checking back in too see if the place had a pulse for nostalgic reasons. Starting fan fics and not finishing them seems to be my signature move as a desire to relive the imaginative days of childhood and learning how to be a functioning adult competed for bandwidth.

I'm overjoyed to see scape making a comeback and already linked up with @gbizzy and his group in Salisbury to play some scape for the first time in ten years.

Expect to see me at some events in the Maryland area. And who knows, maybe I'll make it to scape con next year.

Does anyone know where Malechi is? He made my avatar. It actually used to transform and have my face underneath. If you remember that, then props to you!
