Heroscape at JH school

[Tiranx]

Things really slowed down with my Heroscape group before Christmas break. I tried to take the game to a teacher who keeps his room open all lunch for games, but they just didn't like going to his room and stopped playing it.

After Christmas break I got my stuff back and set up room three of the DnD manual scenarios. Today after making copies in the morning I find that two armies are set up and ready for a lunch time brawl.

Airborn Elite
Moltenclaw

Vs.

Deepwurm Drow
Pelloth
Orthkurik

After lunch was over I caught the tail end and a third student jumped in with the Plauge Rat and three squads of Rat Swarms. I need more time in a day so that I can actually play too!

Also found out that one of my students ended up getting Rise of the Valkyrie, lava terrain, and a bunch of extras from Auggies (showed him the website at school) for Christmas. He was a pretty happy kid.

Big thanks to Rocktroll who donated a set of Master Set 1 figures to our game group. He didn't even charge us for shipping!

Thanks Rocktroll, you are the nicest troll I have ever met.

All the kids sure loved the RotV figures. Mimring was pretty impressive to them since I only had DnD dragons. The new figures also attracted new players.

Thanks again Rocktroll.

Well it is official. Next year I get to teach creative and writing and game design. I will be using Heroscape and a few other games to teach technical writing at the jr. high. I am pretty stoked about teaching this and think that the students I can lure into this will really like it.

Cool! Great job!

Cogratulations. It can definitely be a rigorous process for the kids, especially if you are aiming for professional grade designs.

I actually brought in some 'scape to to play in flex back when school was still in. I started kind of late with only a few weeks left of school though. I set up a small map and immediately saw some interested faces. However after a few quick games it thinned out to a few kids that came back each time. All of us had a great time playing. Overall very positive response.

I have been using custom superhero cards and also some classic Heroscape. Students love it and learn it pretty quick. I trick I have learn is using the HSaholic Ipad app for dice rolls speeds up the game and kids think its cool.

Nice suggestion on the Ipad app. I will definitely use that. The kids do have a tendency to roll the dice off the table all the time.

Two words: dice tower.

Dice trays are great for this!
