Heroscape's Birthday 7/7/2004
Last January, I mentioned in a different thread, the idea of giving Heroscape a birth date and suggested it be 8/8/2004.

What do you guys think? Should we give Heroscape a birth date? Last edited by GaryLASQ; June 2nd, 2013 at 10:57 PM. |

Yes, that's fine with me. But I think we all celebrate HeroScape's Birthday on the second Saturday of October as National HeroScape Day.

But seriously, no one knows exactly when Jesus was born but yet we celebrate Christmas/His birthday 12/25. To relate this, as much as I think we should have an "official" HS B-Day. I think NHSD already covers it. |

Re: Heroscape's Birthday 8/8/2004 ?
Certainly wouldn't want an adopted birth date to ever over-shadow NHSD. It would just be a day, once a year, where we can all say "Happy Birthday Heroscape!"
I didn't realize NHSD also functioned as the game's birth date. Is the date for NHSD a moving target each year (based on when the NHSD weekend falls) or is it a fixed date? Last edited by GaryLASQ; August 7th, 2012 at 09:10 PM. |

I could see an official HS B-Day though. I don't think it would out shadow NHSD as it would just be "Happy Birthday!" not "Let's have a tourney!" day. I don't mind, 8/8 it is if no body objects. Last edited by Sheep; August 7th, 2012 at 09:22 PM. |

(On a side note: so is NHSD targeted around the 2nd or 3rd weekend of October? I've seen conflicting information. Earlier in this thread it is mentioned it is around the 2nd Saturday and elsewhere I've seen the 3rd mentioned. I ask because I may end up hosting the event this year for us Wisconsin heroscapers.) There is nothing more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. --MLK Last edited by Xorlof; August 7th, 2012 at 10:25 PM. |

It's on the 2nd Saturday. Some people celebrate on the 1st or 3rd Saturday depending on their schedules, but it's "officially" the 2nd Sat. There was a post made by R˙chean about it as a joke, and it actually stuck.

So NHSD was inspired by two large tournaments happening on the same day (10/21/06) not because it was considered a birth date for the game. However, now we know what NHSD's birth date is, 10/21/06 ... or ... is it 6/26/06 when R˙chean made the initial post? Last edited by GaryLASQ; August 8th, 2012 at 12:16 AM. |

No, I'm sure it's on the 3rd Saturday. In 2011 most events were on the 15th, in 2010 most events were on the 16th, in 2009 the 17th, etc. Of course, there's always a few events that deviate from the standard.

Re: Heroscape's Birthday 8/8/2004 ?
I think we can all agree that NHSD is off-topic. The question is, should we give HS a birth date, and if so, when?
Looking for an exact publication date on any board game is not as easy as I thought. Typically all you get is the year of publication (or month/year). And even if I did find an official publication date, I would prefer using the date that hero first got his hands on (purchased?) a Master set. |
