Updated, thanks both (especially for the linking and formatting, fomox ).

WOW! How did I ever miss out on this thread! Seeing as how I'm usually representing the school at all the Scape tourneys, please add

Mississippi State University

to the list.

Contact would be me

Great! Done. Do you want to add any blurb about either the academics or the Heroscape scene?

Ok funny story. I was talking about grad schools with some of the other chemistry majors and without thinking I said, "I'm not going anywhere that doesn't already have an established Heroscape community." Speaking of which, you can put me as a contact for University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. I'm pretty much it for Heroscape here, but I've established a fairly regular play group of about 4-5 people. It's not much, but we have fun.

elflord runs games at the University of Houston Clear Lake on fridays every now and then.

I'm going to be putting up posters at my community college (Germanna in VA) to see if there's interest.

Thanks all, first post updated.

I'm not sure how useful this will be to anyone but there's a small group of us at Northwest Christian University in Eugene, Oregon. I'm a sophomore majoring in Mathematics currently attending there.

NCU is a small private liberal arts college with about 500-600 students and about 30 full-time faculty. There are degrees offered in a variety of fields including Ministry, English, Teacher Education, Business Administration, and Mathematics. The college is also very community based.

As for Heroscape, there's about four of us that try and play when our schedules allow us to and we know people who have played before and we usually can get one of them to play. Not much is organized in the way of tournaments, but it has been discussed. Oh, and be forewarned that we usually tend to play big epic games. You can put me down as a contact.

Updated, thanks! (Especially neat that you're another 'scaping mathematician---there seem to be quite a few of us around.)

What can I say? The game has a lot of mathematical concepts to it that I enjoy. I have a couple of spreadsheets that I've done on the game, but I don't think they actually have any practical application at this point.

You should check out this thread too if you haven't already. Maybe share the spreadsheet results as well; I'm always interested in that sort of stuff (if it's on a particular unit, then the Books are a good place to put it).

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but the Heroscape scene here at Christopher Newport University is growing. I'm a senior myself, but I just converted a couple of freshmen with deep pockets. Hopefully that'll do the trick for future students.
