Introducing Heroscape to a large unrelated forum
I couldn't decide if this was the right sub-forum to post this in- apologies if not
I need some advice. I post fairly often (4200 posts at the moment) on another forum that is completely unrelated to Heroscape. It's an NBA Live forum (even though I stopped really playing the NBA Live series a long time ago- there are some good off-topic discussions there, too). It has a pretty large active member base, over 30,000 registered and a few thousand active. Usually about 100 online. Last night I decided to start a thread in the off-topic section about Heroscape. I took about 45 minutes typing up a fairly simple explanation of the game's mechanics/rules/etc. I felt I put it together fairly well. I knew the response might not be golden, but it was actually pretty bad. Here are some samples: Quote:

I was planning on posting some more about custom terrain and figure painting, to try to get some folks interested (or bring those who are interested out of the woodwork). But then those responses happened. It doesn't personally bother me enough to deter me, but... the advice I seek is... do you think I should continue with posting further information? I'm torn because I don't want to just stir up any more negativity like that that might deter someone away from being interested.

Re: Introducing Heroscape to a large unrelated forum
For all those who will take the time to post negative responses, I bet there are just as many who are at least willing to check it out, but won't reply in order to avoid the wrath of those previously mentioned.
Just make sure you include some links over here. If you show them, they will come. -insert signature here- |

And yeah, I did indeed include a link over here, hopefully someone with good intentions will follow it. Do you guys think I should just leave it at the basic introduction that I posted? I'm not sure that adding any more would be a good idea at this point.

Re: Introducing Heroscape to a large unrelated forum
I wouldn't bother with custom terrain and pieces yet.
One of Heroscape's benefits is it's out-of-the box playability. If you start talking about custom pieces you may drown interested persons in the belief that things are more complex than they need to be. 2011 most played: 1. Heroscape/Monsterpocalypse/Quarriors. 4. Warhammer Invasion. 5. Last Night on Earth. |

Re: Introducing Heroscape to a large unrelated forum
I'd just say to drop it. If there is a link over here, the ones that might be/get interested will find their way over here where they don't have to worry about a neanderthal peanut gallery heckling any post they make.

Re: Introducing Heroscape to a large unrelated forum
I think I may agree. I just cut out the parts about 'more to come' and added a banner/link to this site with a welcoming message.
