Heroscape at JH school
I have started to put together a collection of Heroscape to take to school and introduce to my students at the JH school. It has taken me a while to get stuff that I won't be heartbroken to lose or have broken.
Figures: Erevan Sunshadow Ana Karithorn Tandros Kreel Darrak Ambershard Sgt. Drake (RotV) Marcus Decimus Gallus Agent Carr Pelloth Othkurik the Black Dragon Moltenclaw Tezcacoatl the Blue Dragon (qt.bangerange)
Spoiler Alert!
Gor'Vath (robbdaman)
Spoiler Alert!
Rat Swarms (Killometer) X3
Spoiler Alert!
Plague Rat (qt.bangerange) X1
Spoiler Alert!
Lolth Spiders (qt.bangerange) X2
Spoiler Alert!
Feral Troll X1 Ogre Warhulk X1 Wyvern X1 Deepwurm Drow X1 Airborn Elite Terrain: Master Set 3 This depleted a lot of my trade thread, but I am excited to get it to school and set it up. I will try and post the custom figures' cards and the prebuilt arimies I made for the kids. Excited to show them the Dungeon Crawl scenarios after they are familiar with the game.

Re: Heroscape at JH school
Legoboy and belrix both have Heroscape Clubs at schools, apparently very successfully. Legoboy has a bunch of pictures from his 5th Grade Club, and blerix says they get around 20 kids (20!) in their group. As you can see in the "Similar Thread" guide below, there's been a lot of people who tried it out. War games and miniature games don't have the stigma of RPGs, for various reasons, and seem a lot easier to get clubs going.
Good luck, Tiranx! |

Re: Heroscape at JH school
Thanks for the kind words guys. I went to the school today, Saturday, to set up a map and take everything to school. Ended up setting up the first map from the Master Set 3 scenarios.
I also put together some quick play armies based off the figures I have at the school. Infestation: Gor'Vath Rat Swarms X3 Plauge Rat X1 325 points Double Dragon: Tezcacoatl Moltenclaw 330 points Defenders: Marcus Decimus Gallus Airborn Elite Ana Karithon Darrak Ambershard 370 points Swords and Sorcery: Orthkurik Tandros Kreel Erevan Sunshadow 340 points Monster Mash: Feral Troll Ogre Warhulk Wyvern 340 points Drow Invasion: Pelloth Lolth Spiders X2 Deepwurm Drow X1 370 points I know the point totals are not even on all the armies, but there are some that are very close. I want to get another Giant Rat to play as a Plauge Rat in the Infestation army (putting that one at 350). I also have Agent Carr and Sgt. Drake that can be substituted into any army. I am actually excited for Monday. |

Re: Heroscape at JH school
The first day--
I got so many questions and interest from students just from the map being set up. Some of the students that come into my class before school, at lunch, or after school to play Magic were really excited after I showed them the bag of figures. I explained the rules to one kid and then two others showed up that wanted to play. They ended up playing one figure apiece. Ogre Warhulk, Tezcacoatl, and Moltenclaw slugged it out. They didn't finish the game, but had a good grasp on the basic concept of the game and were really digging throwing down the dice. They left saying they were excited to play tomorrow. Besides the students that played there were about six others watching and one of the girls even mentioned that they had Heroscape at home and played a lot. Small world. |

Indeed! Keep us posted. Being cut off from my 'Scape collection for a year or two, I'm living vicariously.

Re: Heroscape at JH school
Day 2 --
Got chewed out by my students for not having my class open in the morning for them to play 'scape! At lunch after they forgave me for my morning meeting I was swarmed by enthusiastic players. Ended up having a six player battle where everyone got to choos one card. Squads were introduced to the group so the Deepwurm Drow and the Airborn Elite found themselves on the table this time. For variouse reasons had kind of a rough day, but Heroscape at lunch sure was the highlight for me. All of my Magic the Gathering players are now playing Heroscape. Take that Wizards of the Coast! I also had one kid ask me where to buy Heroscape. I showed him what a master set was and he has now found a way to spend his 60 bucks of birthday money. You just can't kill a good game. |

Re: Heroscape at JH school
Thanks legoboy I will be sending you a PM eventually about your after school program. We have a one as well and there is a gaming group, I just need to steal it from whoever has it this trimester.
Bangerang you keep those customs coming. I played your Plague Rat and three squads of Killometer's Rat Swarms today to help the kids understand Moltenclaw's special attack and the Ogre Warhulk's Hurricane Flail. You better believe that they geeked out when the Warhulk took out four Rat Swarms in one attack! This also made me add some of Pathfinder's Giant Rats to my Want section of my trade thread. |
