Hey All,

Hendal here. So I am going to have a tourneyment in Canton, Ohio on the 20th of Oct., cause it is the Official National Heroscape Day and I had way to much fun last year doing it!

So you are all invited to come join us for the:

2nd Annual Canton Ohio National Heroscape Day Tourneyment on Oct. 20th, 2007 ( 465 Pt. Armies ).
Same place as last year, direction below.

Swiss style 1on1 matches. 4 rounds to get into the 8 man finals.

**** NO ENTRANCE FEE **** ( please bring a prize ) , prizes for all and then some more prizes!

You need to bring order markers, dice, cards, wound markers, and figures ( No customs, or Marvel Scape cards )

Prizes: 1st $50 2nd $30, 3rd $15 4th $5

Prizes so far: To be announced?

Besides everyone getting at least one prize, these will be on top of everything else:

1. Youngest Player ( + highest ranking 12 and under, and aged 13-17 gamers)
2. Last Place
3. Farthest Travelled
4. Best themed army ( voted on us before the finals )*
5. Old Fart Award ( oldest player )
6. Highest ranking married person ( gets to pick out a piece of jewelry or hand blown glass that my wife & I make -- in honor of sweetest day - so find out your wifes favorite color is, we have a lot to choose from).

* To qualify for a themed army you have to have a army from all one general or be a theme with 1 odd ball card that doesn't have to fit into the theme ( a whole orc themed army could have raelin and still qualify - well she works with ay theme really. So you could have all orcs and the Krav as your odd ball not in the theme card. All Marro, and a Dumetuff card to fill in the last 25 pts counts towards a theme. If you have a question, ask me and I will let you know, I hope this makes sense. RIght before the finals we will have a list of all themed armies for everyone to vote on. Ties will be determined by a D20 roll off, best of 3.


For prizes, we will let the the top 8 pick their prizes, then the 6 special catecories as listed, then we have a roll off between everyone last to the last man. With the extra prizes from their it is another roll off for highest D20 roll between eveyone.

I have decided that this year the gold nugget I usually give to first place will work like this:
To win the gold nugget you can not have the following cards in your army ( Q-9, the Krav, Raelin{old or new}, AE, & the marro water cloners ). You still win $ and first choice of prizes for 1st place. The gold will go to the highest ranking finalist who does not have any of the above mentioned cards in their army.

SOME PRIZES BEING BROUGHT: Master Woo ( yea ), a new Master set with the Marro Hive, a flag bearer, Custom Terrian, and more to be announced. A signed Master Woo. Wave 7.

***************$50 gift certificates from House Mouse***************
***************3 new swamp master sets - Hasbro****************

---amazing support thank you both so much (House Mouse and Hasbro)


Starting time 11:00 AM, sign up before 10:45 AM if possible. Because my friend owns the place, I will have it set up the night before ( so if you come early you can get an early game in, we will be there early waiting to do battle & probably cleaning up more last minute or deciding on what army to use? ) _ I will be there at 8:30 AM!!!!!!!!!!!

A 465 Pt. Army is to be brought to the battlefields with you

We will have 8 different boards set up: Wolf Swamp road, Forsaken Waters, Soulrazor,

Winter Wonderland, author unknown - heavy snow, normal ice; starting spaces as shown (on or over the hexes of the level 1 24-hex rock tiles)

"Hot Heights",

Klomars training ground #3: the sand tiles are wet so they take 2 spaces to get through ( not one ).

this is just an easy board we can make with 1 MS ( we need that with so many boards needing made )

here is my own map for the tourney - Enjoy! Canton's Battle Bridge -

We will have a swamp board, a large bridge board, and another board - all to be announced soon ( if you have a board you want us to use, let me know!).

***** 32 space starting zone ( bring on the swarms ) *****

The only place in the world NHSD is being celebrated right - 32 starting spaces so you are not limited on the army you can bring - you want a swarm army you bring a swarm army cause Ohio is the heart of it all!

Glyphs: 2 unknown out of 8 ( Ulaniva {unique Att. +1}, Crevcor {Common +1 Att}, Brandar { nothing }, Proftake {pit trap}, Valda ( +2 move }, Gerda { +1 Def.}, Kelda { Healer}, ? { not sure of the name but the +1 to D20 rolls).
- hope everyone is happy with the glyphs - if not give a shout out?

So there are way more people then I imagined coming, so I am thinking a pot luck deal for food would be a great idea. Just bring a big bowl or plate of something if you can ( but don't if your coming from a long way or thing this sounds silly ).

We have a Pizza place that delivers, a subway pretty close, and a Fishers food that has great Friend Chicken & Jo-Jo's. So people can just buy food if they want. The fisher foods is a grocery store ( pretty basic in the poor part of town ) that is a block and a half away to get stuff.

Food that will be there:

Crock Pot of Shredded Meat in sauce and buns, mustard, onions.
Potato Salad
4 Liters of Coke
4 liters Diet Coke
Chips( 4 bags ), salsa, been dip.
Pretzels & Fritos( 2 of each )
Cookies
Cupcakes
cold pasta salad
Vegtables slices and dip platter

If we need to we can order out ( the Chicken & Jo-Jo's should be pre-ordered or bought before 11:30 - they run out ). Just an idea on the food, all that will be there, but it is pretty shy on feeding 40 people for lunch and dinner.

Where: 1925 Fremont pl S.W.
Canton, Ohio 44706

It is really easy to get to take 77 to canton, then take 30 W, the next exit is Harrision/Navarro exit. Take this , and get off the exit and head right, pass one light and then go under a train bridge, one more block and you see Fisher foods on the right, at the end of Fishers parking lot is Freemont st. , take a right and 2 blocks down on the left is the tourney. Just past the building is an alley, on the other side of the road past the alley is a big parking lot you can park in.

Please post here if you are coming, and with how many if you know.

Please feel free to ask questions, or to offer advice.

Our Goal to double last year is in the bag ( it was 9 people last year ), I think we may triple it the way things are looking ( oh yea - big grin from ear to ear )

That is it for now, Game On!!!!!!!!!!!

6 states!

[Tiberius]

Hendal, I will most likely be coming to this if I dont have to work (which I should be able to get off).

I vote for the biggest alotment of points available. I find that I rarely have trouble getting my games finished in the alloted time. I will have to see about what to bring as a prize. I will scour the local stores and see what is available.

The 2 out of 6 random glyph selection would work for me.

I liked your idea about banning Q9, raelin and Krav. That would definately force people to try different armies. I like that.

[Hendal]

Hey Tiberius,

I really like the idea of not using Q-9, raelin,or krav so people have to bring totally different armies.

I was thinking we need a lava map, ice map ( I really liked the one from last year that we used ), and swamp map, a giant bridge with the tower set map, and a road board. Then 3 others thrown in for good measure ( should we think 2 lava and 2 snow boards? ).

[Tiberius]

Sure, sounds great actually. A tower map? We have had at least one tower or castle map at each one of our tourneys and though they look great and are fun, they are the source of much swearing if you have a group that cannot get up there. I vote yes!

[MattserTruckRally]

Canton would be much awesome. I'm likely to go with at least ManTrain. I'll find out from weesel_99 and jacob_j_p if they wanna go.

The restrictions would be pretty neat and won't matter much to me since I'm planning on bringing some kinda army with Swarm of the Marro.

Also for the points I think I'm leaning more towards 465 for the number. Its a pretty good odd number. 485 seems to close to 500 for my liking.

[Hendal]

And so it starts, build it and they will Come. I am going to so make this one even better then last year.

Is 11:30 a good starting time or is 10:30 or 11 AM better for most people?



465 pts. sound good to me, I think that still works great with the 50 minutes game, so we have 10 minutes in between rounds.

No Q-9, Raelin ( old or new ) , or Krav. ( is this good with everyone? )

8 boards.

It is National Heroscape day, so bring as many people as you can, lets make this one the biggest Ohio Turn out yet? I got no clue what the biggest was, but I am excited to be hosting this one again.

OK, 2 more maybe's , that sounds great to me, and the GC Champ to boot, gotta love Ohio tourney's!

Bring it on people, start making the calls, let everyone know about Oct. 20th, the place to be, Scaping in Canton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CupidsArt]

Restrictions are cool with me I want to run a Swarm army but I won't set it up until I know what's cool and what's not. Count me in on this one, don't know about Madhatter, he usually doesn't like trips like this, but I may be able to get the GF to come along,

[royaldoy]

If Tiberius is going, you can count on me. My brother is also in. My wife is in. My friend Denny is in. My other friend Andy may be in, he'll let me know tonight but more than likely he'll be in as well. How's that for a few more people.

[Hendal]

Western PA steps in the House, now we are talking. The count is going up. I new Tib pulled some weight over there in PA, I didn't realize how much. I can't weight to meet the whole crew, I am making it over to one of your get together's, I have been reading all about them, I think that is wonderful.

That is great to hear, get that count up there people!


CupidsArt - you know we missed you last year! Now you got GenCon under your belt and all - fancy like that!

You gotta bring the madhatter, this is the Ohio Nat. Heroscape day, we need him, we are like superfriends ( I mean Supermarvelscaperfriends ), it is our duty, OK maybe not! But he really should try and make it, ask him what he likes to eat most for lunch, I will have it there if at all possible?
OK, So I checked out The Dallas thread and thought I would add:

Prizes:


1.Farthest travelled

2.Youngest player

3.Old Fart award ( shouldn't the old guy get something for still gaming at such an old age )

4.Last Place

5.Best Themed Army ( voted on by all before the finals - so if you pick a fun army you can still get a prize)


Just another reason to show up in Canton, The heart of it all.

[Hendal]

Anybody have any boards they would like to see used?


Should we use ones from the GenCon pool of boards?

Looks like we have around 18 so far coming ( as long as work doesn't get in the way). Weesel99 just confirmed for the Columbus Crew - which gives us the Reigning GenCon Champ coming to the Canton Town Beat Down. If you didn't make it to GenCon this is your chance to face the Champ in a tourney situation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Crooked Path - sure, it's one of mine, but I really like it.

For starting time, I would prefer 11:30; it would allow me to make the trip in a single day instead of driving up the night before.

[Hendal]

Hey Marduk,

11:30 works for me , we will keep the starting time for 11:30

I will check out your board when I get a chance, if no one mentions any other boards, then yours is in for sure!
