How To Properly Sell-out
Okay, if D&D Heroscape is a sign of WOTC selling-out Heroscape, and presupposing that selling-out is inevitable, what's the most palatable way for them to sell-out?
For me, the most important thing for them to do is maintain a sense of genre-blending. Sure, bring on D&D, but also mix in more Marvel, some Star Wars, G.I. Joe and Transformers, even. As long as they keep the hodge-podge going (along with the quality unit balancing and what-not) I'll probably be able to grin and bear it all. And if they're going to try to pull in other types of miniature gamers, why not try to pull in other types of landscape builders-- maybe they could come up with some sort of model train set-up that would work within heroscape hexes. If they could pull in those hobbyists, we could be in for a terrain renaissance! Anyway, if it has to happen, how can WOTC make the sell-out as painless as possible for you? Or, how can they do it and still keep your business? EDIT: BTW, this is not meant to be a "Heroscape is Dead" thread. It's clearly not dead, but if it's necessisarily going to be merged with other properties (like Marvel and D&D), then what's the best way to do it? That's all I'm askin'...

Re: How To Properly Sell-out
Is this any more "proof" of them selling out vs. the Marvel Set?
I mean, this is even more intergrated, we just got wave 9 and 10 coming, but they are selling out somehow? I sometimes think some people will only be happy when Heroscape is finally done with, so they can stand over it, panting and sweating, screaming "I TOLD YOU IT WAS DYING! AND IT ONLY TOOK 10 YEARS FOR IT TO HAPPEN!" Buy waves 9 and 10, buy the new master set for the new terrain and stuff and enjoy the game. Now through May 28th, the Louisville region is in desperate need of platelets - call the Red Cross if you are interested in donating! |

Re: How To Properly Sell-out
Pft, selling out is no problem. Bring on the Transformers HS! What I have a problem with is the fact that a franchise I have a distaste for has entirely engulfed HS.

Re: How To Properly Sell-out
IMO, this is actually helping Heroscape. It will attract D&D players to the game, expanding the fanbase. Heroscape is far from dying.

But I love Star Wars and Marvel and even the HS universe characters. I'd buy any scape version of those. Peace |

Re: How To Properly Sell-out
Someone in a Hasbro board room asked the burning question, "Let me get this straight. We have a minis game, and we also have another minis game that is the same genre. Does anyone else here with an MBA wonder why we are competing against ourself?"
It's not selling out. It's just fixing a bad business model. Check out Gulp's Glyphs Not Worth Grabbing and Gulp's Abilities Not Worth Activating! Very Useful Thread: The Heroscape Library "Heroscapers.com is not a charity site for the illiterate." -Gbob

Re: How To Properly Sell-out
I don't mind the D&D set at all. I just don't want it to become an all-the-time thing.

Re: How To Properly Sell-out
Yeah, by gosh, I'm gonna hate it if they add elves or magic users to this game. Just count me out.

I bought 26 master sets and 12 swamp master sets. I plan on buying one D&D master set. I'm afraid WotC's sales are not going to happen. My Custom Terrain Thread: http://www.heroscapers.com/community...read.php?t=448 |
