Utah Monthlies 2020

[Sir Heroscape]

Ya'll should welcome @Late Blooming Scaper he's coming out of the woodwork and wants to start playing a little more competitively. He lives right in the "sweet zone" for heroscape (Utah) so even better!. Also, he may need to borrow some figures this weekend if he's able to make it to the tourney, but I'll let him introduce himself/do the talking

Thanks Sir Heroscape and hello fellow scapers!

A bit about me, if you want to know, I got into heroscape pretty early on (not 1st Edition RotV early, but still...) just as a casual board gamer. The figures looked sweet, and I’ve never played a game quite like it before. I got really pumped about it, purchased a few expansions, and was fired up for “The Battle of All Time!” But not even my “nerd friends” were down to roll some skulls. I was alone. After a few years of isolated fandom, I put it all away and never opened it again... That is until my wife and I moved to Utah county and I unpacked an old box of memories from that golden era. Now I’m looking to see what’s around and if there’s anybody who still plays the game. Found Sir Heroscape on YouTube and he talked a lot about this site called “Heroscapers” where a thriving community exists for hating on Q9! That’s when I found you wonderful people. Turns out, Runa and Dund were pretty much as hard to fit in an army as I thought! And Taelord really is way too expensive! I’m really living the dream here, and I’m stoked to meet some of you in person and fight a match with someone who actually knows that the hive can’t bond with the Nagrubs even though they “are supposed to because they came in the same set!”

That long story aside, I’ll do my best to make it to the tournament on Saturday. 450 points from one general huh? Sounds like a blast...atron! (Sorry for that one)

Best,
Late Blooming Scaper

Welcome Late Blooming Scaper! That's awesome that you've found your way here, and even more awesome that you timed it so well with a move to Utah! I'm super glad you'll be able to make it on Saturday so we can meet you in person! (Super bummed I won't actually be there to meet you, but hey, that just means you'll have to keep coming! ) I've got you on the list so you're all set! Like Sir H said, if you're wanting to run an army but don't have the figures for it, hit us up and we can usually find someone to lend them to you!

Welcome again! We're always stoked to see new people showing up to keep the scene fresh!

That awesome! It's always fun when more scapers come out of the woodwork. There's quite the community here in Utah - it's definitely one of the best places to be if you are looking for people to play Heroscape with!

It'll be great to meet you!

EDIT - just noticed you're in Eagle Mountain. I'm really close to you - just in Saratoga Springs.

Welcome Late Blooming Scaper! I joined the Utah Heroscape scene in late 2018. I too was a silent collector and thought no one played this game. Feels like yesterday. I look forward to some Scape with you! Hope to see you Saturday!

@Leaf_It , @BodaciousBlood , @Scaperedude , @UtahScott , @Jazack , @Sir Torin Brokenshield! , @Late Blooming Scaper , @Anyone Else Planning to Come

Just a reminder for you all that the start time on Saturday will be 3:30 PM, as opposed to our usual morning start time. Just want to make sure no one falls on old habits and comes too early.

Welcome to the community @Late Blooming Scaper !

[UtahScott]

Anybody want to assign me a couple maps to bring?


Since we're at odd numbers, I could also bring a 3-player map. The first three rounds, 3 of nine people could play each time. Scores could be 2 points for all wins, 1 point for second place on the three player map. OR I could try to get one of my kids to come. Any other last-minute attendees?

Yeah. Would you be able to bring The Rift?

[BodaciousBlood]

Let me do a final tally on the attendees as well. The OP is not reflecting accurately

[BodaciousBlood]

Crash on northbound I-15. I am a little backed up and will be late.!plan on starting at 4.

[UtahScott]

Did anyone see a lava 1-hex on the floor as they were cleaning up?


EDIT: Helpful 5-year-old...
