HeroScape site

[legolasbaker]

Hi everyone !
I am the famous author of the best site of Hero Quest http://heroquestbaker.altervista.org/indexenglish.htm, the precursor of HeroScape, because both games created by Stephen Baker.
I have just bought HeroScape Master Set 3 D&D today afternoon. (I have never played HeroScape in my life).
The booklet in the box refers to the site www.heroscape.com , but it does not exist.
Why ?

Do not rely on that site. The game transferred from the direction production by Hasbro to their tributary, Wizards of the Coast. WotC does not have a very up to date hook on the game either in the form of a website, so this is the main place. We have several designers of the game on this site, and is the most official thing that has been updated in the past year that you are going to find.

Thank you very much for your VERY fast answer !
I have just opened my HeroScape box, paid 25 pounds:
The contents seem COOL !
I hope that you will teach the basic rules. The dice are similar to Hero Quest ones. The figures are stunning ! I like this game !
I hope that the play-ability is good.

P.s.
Maybe I have made a mistake about the position of this topic.
Sorry about that.

I can still get on the Heroscape site,but it is extremely outdated. But it has good storyline on in from Classic Scape.

You are right: the only official material that I have managed to find is:

Yes the battle for underdark (D&D set)

the previous 2 were Rise of the Valkryre (RotV) and Swame of the MArro (SotM)

RotV is now out of print and has many cool figures so check out ebay.
SotM is good too.

A master set is just a chip off the tip of the iceberg bro.

I can not see my HeroScape Master Set 3 in that site, I can see only this news:

"LEGENDS OF THE DUNGEONS & DRAGONS UNIVERSE COME TO HEROSCAPE

LEGENDS OF THE DUNGEONS & DRAGONS UNIVERSE COME TO HEROSCAPE Wizards of the Coast releases a new master set for the build-and-battle game system

Welcome to the addiction!

Definitely try to get your hands on older items. Especially the first master set. Lots more terrain and lots more figures

Actually, that expansion has been out for a long time.

A new expansion for your Master Set 3 (MS3) will be out this August! (Called Warriors of Eberron AKA D2)

There is already an expansion set for MS3 out if you are interested.

The set is called Champions of The Forgotten Realms AKA wave D1

Again DO NOT rely on "official" sites for information.

Everything heroscape that matters is found here. New releases come out here often months in advance thanks to careful internet searchs and retailers giving us a heads up. Also the design team are active on this site as users and Admins.

If it's heroscape, its here. (or at least linked)
