Sweet, that's great news to hear! Thanks!

Prizes will be toilet paper and bottled water. There is only one of each. Players will have to fist fight and/or roll a D20 to see who gets to win. only kidding. Stay safe out there everyone. There are lots of crazies out there.

Hey folks, cruising the Heroscape Monthly thread probably isn't a priority right now, but if you stop by today please let us know if you're okay after that earthquake. I'm far enough away that I didn't feel anything, but that means I'm watching from afar and worried and hoping that all you guys out there are doing fine.

I remember a 4.2 back in the late '80s. That was fine.


This one was jarring, jumpy, not fun. Several aftershocks after, including a smaller separate quake about an hour afterward. Opened several drawers in my house.



Power didn't go out in my neighborhood, though, that's good. Some teachers' power did go out, no online school for the twins, that's bad.

Sounds like a scary way to wake up this morning for most people. Sounds like there were no injuries, so that's good news, though I know there was a good amount of property damage. I know several things in my sister's house got broken.

We felt it up here in Logan and at my place in Preston. No damage that we can tell though.

Holy cow, that's a heck of a distance.

Its just another reason for people to go out and buy all the toilet paper. A lot of people must have the crap scared out of them.

THE MARCH MONTHLY HAS BEEN CANCELED

Hello friends! With the progression of events with COVID-19 and the restrictions on public gatherings, we organizers have gone with the unfortunate, yet important, decision of officially cancelling the Monthly gathering for March.

I'm sure you all know the reasons behind this, but I'll post them anyway for the sake of completeness. There have been increased restrictions on gathering in groups of more than 10 people, and even restaurants have been required to close their lobbies and only do curbside orders in order to keep gatherings of people down. We think it would be a lack of due diligence if we hosted an event, be it at Game Haven or at a private location, and so have decided to do our part in helping to stop the spread. It's not the happiest decision ever, but it's a necessary one.

Unless these restrictions continue, we do still plan on having a Scraps tournament in April. And if we can't in April, then in May, or whenever things settle down. We look forward to gaming with you all again in person as soon as we can, and we've had a lot of great community contributions for our Scraps map pool that we're excited to use!

If you're going through Heroscape withdrawals, play something with a group of friends, or try playing online! Many of us play online and would love to get games in with any of you!

Thanks for sticking with us during this crazy year, and stay safe (and clean) out there!

It's been a long time for me, but what about a virtual tourney? Of course, any new maps would need to be uploaded...are there any Scraps-friendly Virtual maps already uploaded?

I don't believe that there are any Scraps maps uploaded, at least not any that I know of. However, a virtual tourney is an idea, and it wouldn't be hard to do something else with the maps that are available.
