Heroscape Brief Card for Beginners (Updated 10/30)
Recently, our playgroup has recruited quite a few new players. We sometimes end up with 2 experienced players with 4-5 beginners. And of course they don't usually show up at the same time for us to go over the rule for all of them.
So I have created a brief card and put in it the most important things to play the game. It's size is half of the standard letter size. I searched and realized that someone have had the same idea, but I believe the size is the letter size. The half size may be handy and economic, especially when you want to introduce the game to a large group of people (which will happen to us on next Wednesday). After a short explanation, they can just grab one brief card and start the game. Of course, there are more subtle rules, but they can ask experienced players when those cases arise. I also include a dice chart showing the chance to inflict a wound. Again, for new player, it may be useful. Please let me know if I missed something important, or if the information is not accurate, or anything that should be changed. Your criticism is welcome here! I will create a PDF file that you can print front and back, then cut in halves to have 2 brief cards after hearing from your comments. Thanks again for your help! Link to the high resolution, 2-sided PDF file. Front: Back: Here are some other versions of the card with different backgrounds.

I applaud your Brief Card because it helps newbies keep certain pertinent info handy on their person. As customizers of the game, the amount of quick-reference material is steadily growing and hopefully we can train a new breed a HeroScapers to play against. Keep up the good work! |

I love your percentage table for combat results. I usually do this stuff iny my head (ouch!) when writing strategy guides; I will be referring to this a a shorthand in the future.
Thanks! |

That's sweet, for beginners! I may be using your percentage chart a lot anyway!

OK, what is the name that I should use now? Or should I print my Heroscape brief card on "brief cards" and sell them to the addicted Heroscapers around here? Then we could have something like: -I am not sure what the chance to kill your Monk with my Krav Maga.... -Oh, do you want to look at my butt? Wait, let me strip my pant down first! -I can't see it. It's in the crack! L...o....n......g.....H...e.....r....o.....S....c....a....p...e......r ..... Heroscape Brief Card for Beginners. How to share your maps with the world. VirtualScape 101.

LongHeroscaper,
Found a glitch. The super height advantage is 10+the height of the defending figure. PROUD MEMBER OF THE 2013 "BEAT BY XANTH" CLUB Play the Mines of Moria Campaign , Helm's Deep Campaign , and Minas Tirith Campaign from Lord of the Rings today.
