Anti-DnDScape?

My dream? To get new classic figures as well as DnD, all done by the awesome design team!

Triple props to them!

I'm not taking anything away from the design team, but man, Wave 9 is one of the best waves EVER! I'm shocked to think that people would think D1 and D2 can hold a candle to it.

I'll take Dwarves, Indians, Robots, Protectors, and Gladiators over anything that's come from anything DnD, anyday of the year.

I do appreciate the Design Teams imagination to keep the game as alive as possible.

Of course, the same team was responsible for Wave 9 as the D&D waves.

I know that. I'm just making sure they know it's not from a design point that i don't care for some of the newer figures.

According to your sig, *YOU* can sit and shoot D&DScape all day long... and D&DScape is still gonna be there, standing resolute....

Sounds about right

Or maybe Warlord93 has really, really bad aim

I never really thought of myself as "Anti-D&D Scape", it simply wasn't for me. I was disappointed by the shift, I shared my reasons for disappointment, and life goes on.

So one year later I own a copy of Master Set 3 (MIB) that has yet to hit the table, I still enjoying checking out the new stuff, but I probably won't be buying any more Scape even if new sculpts ("true classic 'Scape" figs) are designed. Not out of any sort of protest, but simply because I've got all the Heroscape I need/want.

Personally I find it sad that some people resist D&D scape?

When RotV first came out, who hated Syvarris because he was an elf?

Who was shooting the KoW in thieir sig?

Why do you hate Darrak and not the Axegrinders?

Who hated Mimring, Charos, Nilfy, Braxas and Zelrig?

Who disliked Cyprien and all his minions?

And now, who has any reason to hate D&D scape?

If Erevan sunshadow was a new sculpt in a pack that didn't say D&D on the front, would you like him?

Basically, what I'm saying is that fantasy is, and has been a core part of "Classic" scape. For me, D&D scape has brought just about everything to the gaming table in my house as everything else released by Hasbro: New units, bases for new armies, shifts in the metagame without power creep, New terrain, and creative synergies. What's the difference? Why can't D&D units be the fantasy units in scape fighting with and against historical and sci-fi "Classic" units?

Because they're not making any more historic or sci-fi units.

I couldn't help but feel a little giddy when I first seen Combat challenge, +2 Broad Sword, and Cleave on one card, but I sure would love to see new Historical and Sci-Fi figures made.

The mix of all those crazy genres together in one game is where a lot of HS's charm came from for me.

It seems to me that it would kinda make sense to just package extra trading card sized HS stat cards in with the already existing D&D Mini's line instead of making a whole new series for essentially the same thing with slightly bigger bases.

Then, they could go back to making Classic HS and keep a D&D tie-in in production without having to run two very similar lines at the same time. It might not be real fancy giving players standard sized cards for HS, but they'd at least fit in the packaging.

I'm sure this would never happen, but one can dream, eh?

Then use the old ones. I'm sure the new Drake Alexander (from SotM master set) can kick a lot of drow butt, while the Krav Maga agents provide cover fire.
