Re: Magic: the Gathering Strategy Board Game
This game is great. If it gets support it will be something special. If it doesn't, it will be a neat thing to mix in with my Heroscape stuff now and then.
-- @Grishnakh , having now played this game, and having previously played with your custom rules and figures, I will say: this game is closer to Heroscape in mechanics than your (awesome!) work (which sits in the Custom Marvel Heroscape section of the boards). Make of that what you will.

Re: Magic: the Gathering Strategy Board Game
Speaking of conversions, anybody turning Magic cards into Arena cards?
Anybody add Arena card templates to their card creator programs? |

Re: Magic: the Gathering Strategy Board Game
I have an MSE template more or less ready to go, but I don't have good digital images of the cards and haven't felt like making mock-ups yet.

MtG: AotP is not billed as a Heroscape game. It doesn't say it's a Heroscape game, it doesn't say it's inspired by Heroscape, it doesn't say it's from the creators of Heroscape, etc. To me it sounds exactly like they are trying to distance themselves from Heroscape. So, I'm just giving them the benefit of the doubt and saying it's not Heroscape and belongs, at least on our Heroscape site, in Other Games. Go back and look at BattleMasters. It plainly says from the creators of HeroQuest. In the beginning Heroscape said it was from the creators of HeroQuest. Sadly, at least to me, this new game doesn't acknowledge it's heritage. This is a Magic the Gathering game that does indeed use the Heroscape game engine yet makes no mention of it's source material, or acknowledges it's fan base. Makes me wonder how much input Stephen Baker had in this game's development and if he somehow fought to include the HeroScape/Quest name. As for my stuff it's posted on a clearly marked Heroscape web site, clearly under the heading Heroscape Comic Hero Custom Creations. I consider my stuff as an add on to the existing Heroscape rules and they work soundly within those rules. If you somehow feel that they are too different a) don't use my rules and b) I would infer from your statement that you think the same of all unofficial customs on this site. So that's what I made of your statement. Perhaps what I don't get is your point here. Maybe we should change the title at the top of every page on this site to read: Your Source for all Things 'Scape! and things that are like 'Scape but don't call themselves 'Scape My Custom Terrain Thread: http://www.heroscapers.com/community...read.php?t=448 Last edited by Grishnakh; July 16th, 2015 at 09:16 AM.

Re: Magic: the Gathering Strategy Board Game
Analogizing...
If I ran a Prince William fan site, source of all things Prince William-y, and he had a kid that he didn't acknowledge, but that I could easily prove was his then... yes, I'd cover the kid on the site too. ~Aldin, bastardly He either fears his fate too much or his desserts are small That dares not put it to the touch to gain or lose it all ~James Graham |

I capitulated a few posts back and bowed out of this discussion. At this point I honestly think that the admins should go ahead and make a major heading for this game and be done with it. It seems to be the only recourse at the moment. As a side note thanks for listening to what I've had to say everyone. I was silent on what I perceived as a major issue with this site once before and I swore I'd never do it again (don't even bother to ask). I tried to express my views yesterday quickly and to the point. Evidently I stuck a nerve with the community. Now I'm going to try to bow out of this conversation again. Unless anyone wants to drag me back in. For those of you that buy it enjoy the Magic Game! My Custom Terrain Thread: http://www.heroscapers.com/community...read.php?t=448 |

yes, Yes, YES . . . I am VERY thankful that I have a HUGE HeroScape collection, and for ALL the FUN that I've had with it over the past decade. I only wish that I had more local friends to share this experience with. I do miss the "Good Old Days." Not because HS was plentiful (and cheap at Clearance Prices) at all the big-box stores and many FLGS, but because there were just more opportunities to play with it, talk about it, and I didn't have to drive hundreds of miles to participate in an occasional regional tournament. I am hopeful for a revival of attitudes toward light, fantasy 'war-gaming' on 3D terrain boards with a hexagonal grid. IF I have to accept customized Magic: The Gathering figures and modified rules to see this goal even partially achieved, THEN that seems like a small enough sacrifice that I am willing to pay. Otherwise I might as well sell all my HS stuff and start to play War Hammer 40K or some other nonsense that has not yet gone OOP.
