Way to promote our FLGS
I know that WotC is looking for ways to give the FLGS a way to break into the Heroscape Market. I have a simple idea I'd like some feedback on.
Since the playtest group has limited time / resources to ensure that a Unit's PV is appropriate, what if WotC were to offer packs of updated Unit cards available only in FLGS? These could be updated after each wave's release if need be. There's no reason this game has to be static. Make the Heroscape universe a living breathing thing and make the FLGS the gateway to that evolution. |

Re: Way to promote our FLGS
I doubt they will do this because, folks, can you imagine the arguments? I'm using the new card that says Dund is only 100 points. No it's not! It's 200! I have the card right here! I don't want to go to that tournament...

Re: Way to promote our FLGS
What I would love to see is support from some FLGS game days that included some exclusives. I know that GenCon attendees deserve a first shot at exclusives, but I don't see why it shouldn't be possible to see exclusives showing up later (even a whole year or more later) at FLGS events.
I guarantee that would bring out heroscapers to the FLGS. (Exclusives are, btw, the answer to reprints of cards--a new unit that looks the same and often has similar powers, but with new options and points. They aren't as confusing as a different valued Dund, b/c they are distinctive even while related, like Woo.) Also, of course, we need to keep using the FLGS for our events where possible. I enjoy hosting a small game day at my house, but I don't do that now b/c I want to get people into the FLGS and get the FLGS excited about HS (which our local one now is--yeah!).

Re: Way to promote our FLGS
As much as I would like to see some updated cards, it's just a nightmare to implement.

Re: Way to promote our FLGS
Exclusives at FLGS would be great once stores are shipped merchandise, including master sets and a variety of waves. This is much like how TRU offered Neraks. Us, as supporters of the game, can enhance the promotion by offering demo days for people to come try the game.

(In terms of the FLGS relations question, I think the point here is to help raise the exposure and thus the life of HS through these stores. Plus, stores can host events and build community in ways that WalMart simply can't--ever. I hate the high-priced game shops, but they aren't all that bad and some are pretty good. I know where you are coming from though--I know that some are horrid in what they do to prices and games. I've seen that and hate it, too. But some are great and really help add to the community of HS--great places to play and excellent opportunities for tournaments and the like.) New?

Re: Way to promote our FLGS
There are FLGS that are not as F as you would like them to be and would take advantage of "exclusives" and would sell them rather than give them away as intended.

Re: Way to promote our FLGS
Theres no reason that they would have to send out the actual figure and card to implement this. A simple email and existing figure proxy would be sufficient.
Saying that, I don't think it would be a good idea. WOTC would be bombarded with figure suggestions from every FLGS they sent to and everyone who reads stats leaked onto the internet. We don't have the basic stats to the Wolves of Bardu and people are all ready saying that they re over/underpriced. ...and then he used his fight money to buy two of every animal, and then he herded them all onto a boat and then he beat the crap out every single one. |

Re: Way to promote our FLGS
Wow I was "right" twice in one thread...I amaze myself sometimes.
Want to promote Scape to FLGS? Then go in every day and ask about Scape. Call them on the phone and ask about Scape. Email them and ask them about Scape. Get everyone you know to do the same. And then when they start carrying it...buy it!!! (Going for 3) |
