Re: HeroScape is coming back!
I think the only reasonable option at this point is to agree on a nickname.
The Knight (Champion) formerly known as Oberon Mama Bear Bear Hands Rather Dashing Claw and Order Mom, I'm not a cub anymore, I will get a nose ring and you can't stop me! Nobler than Volarak Hang on, I DON'T get a bonus on snow? I've even got a fur coat! Nerak is half-naked! Don't run away so I can maul you Quote:

Re: HeroScape is coming back!
I'm certainly still buying the game, and am only mentioning the name is odd just to share my thoughts and not as an expectation that Renegade make a change over something this small. I just think it's good food for thought going forward when naming new characters.
Knight Irene feels odd for the same reason Michael the Dwarf Lord or Laura the Kyrie Warrior feels odd; the reverse is strange as well if we take a fantasy name and give it to a character from Earth, like Sgt. Taelord Alexander. I wouldn't bat an eye if instead we had a character named Agent Irene, because it makes sense someone from Earth would be named that |

Re: HeroScape is coming back!
That's a really good point. It would have stood out much less to me in that context.

Re: HeroScape is coming back!
I've been enjoying playing with proxied versions of the AoA stuff that was released already, and am enjoying proxying in some of the new units announced by AoA while I wait for the release.
I know it's all homebrew stuff, but my solution in my home games has been to treat Knight Adjuctor Oberon from the Hasbro AoA release (the male bear) and Knight Irene from the Renegade AoA release (the female bear) as two separate characters who just happen to have identical stats, and thus can both be used in the same game since they don't have the same unique name. I just finished a game yesterday with both of them in it along with the Frostclaw Paladins. It was fun. |

Curious, S. Rowan just confirmed the Glyph distribution. The Wellspring box gets you one Brandar.
The Master Set has: Quote:

I am also glad that none of the new glyphs were dropped from the beta version. Felaron did apparently lose one 'l'. Quote:

And I'm sorry but I don't understand how anyone is suddenly this attached to this one character. You said yourself it wasn't that long ago that Haslab was in the reins. You don't have the mini and the designs were never finalised. Things were still changing when Haslab were actively showing us stuff. You've essentially been playing with playtest stuff and proxying figures for it for what, a few months? And the original book thread for Oberon has 3 replies, none of which are from you. Nor have you been this vocal about any of the other characters from what I can see, which I'm sure you've also played if you're apparently this invested in these characters. You're just hyper-fixated on this one bear because you don't like that they've changed the gender of them (which is completely inconsequential to the actual design you've been playing and is not related to anything the character does, which is the only aspect of said character you could directly interact with. I doubt you're that into the lore that you can recount what Haslab's tiny bio was for this one bear), and that they aren't stereotyped to be wearing pink and have big eyelashes because apparently a bear in some clothes is too "masculine" to be a female character. You'd be shocked to learn that quite a few characters can have various aspects of them change during the development of a project. Everyone other than those so obsessed with the idea that this character has to be male, like you, are either going to forget pretty quickly that this character was written slightly differently when a different team had the reins, or will never even know in the first place. And when these designs release and everyone is playing these instead of the Haslab placeholders, those still that attached will have to move on if they want to play with the majority of the playerbase. Stop trying to mask your bigotry. |

Re: HeroScape is coming back!
This is how the meme spreads, by building a characture of the other.
@chas
got use to a certain aspect of the Irene and the was reasonably taken back with the name change, as most of us are. If it was Knight Ryder as the new name it would be equally silly. Or maybe he is a big bigot I have no idea.
Being drawn to sides just fuels the controversy. As far as complaining about changes in demographics I think checking the quality of the work first is wise. No one cares about Nick fury or anything in the spidervese movies because they are Awesome. Madam web isn't getting panned cause it's an all female cast, it panned cause it's terrible. While some hate rey cause she is a woman (and they are dumb) the truth is 7-9 are not that great. No one complains about rogue one or andor because again those movies/shows are awesome. Call irene Ursa Knight or Rusa Knight and make the card and mini awesome, we aren't having this discussion. OG raelin is the best price in scape - we don't complain, because again she is awesome. (Okay we complain she is OP, but we would if she was a pile of slime. |

Re: HeroScape is coming back!
Skinderella,
I'm surprised hearing you tell someone you don't know at all that I'm "masking my bigotry." At this point, I'm dropping out of any back and forth with you, and I'd appreciate if you do the same. (I'm sure you won't miss me). As far as I'm concerned, such pure nastiness has no place in this forum. But I'll let the Administrators decide that for us. The fact is, if I'd gotten used to a beloved female bear and it was suddenly made male, I'd probably have had the same problem. But I was way over it several posts ago, after venting a bit. As others have said, its just a piece of game plastic, after all. Not worth insulting a real person about. Last edited by chas; March 18th, 2024 at 09:13 PM. |

I know several people who complain about Rogue One and Andor.
