    Selling my collection

    Unfortunately, I have to sell my Heroscape collection. This has been a fantastic game, and I'll miss it quite a bit, but I'm just in a situation where I have to go lean. I'm looking to avoid shipping things, which means I'm looking to sell to folks in Colorado or between Boulder, CO and...

    Beyond Gencon: Masters Invitational Tourney

    Gencon, of course, is the unofficial world championship of Heroscape, but not every great player in every region is able to make it out to compete. I gather that many folks can't afford the trip, but also that the timing of Gencon is not always ideal. I wonder if there's a way to get around...

    Power Rankings for Other Formats

    I'm curious what the Power Rankings would be like if they were for more varied formats. To that end, I'm curious which units would be in your Power Ranked top ten in the following formats: Capture the Flag Treasure Quest Heat of Battle Reverse the Whip Dungeon Crawls ...and any other format...

    Your Heroscape Passion

    What's your most passionately held belief about Heroscape? What would you most likely to get into a fight over in Heroscape? What thing about Heroscape, if you met a like-minded woman (or man), would make you spontaneously propose marriage?

    Generic Equivalencies

    Let's start with a generic unit: 3-figure common squad Medium 5 Life 1 Move 5 Range 6 Attack 3 Defense 3 Questions: a) How much would such a generic unit cost, without any powers or synergies? b) What stats would you have to give a Unique Melee Hero (again, no powers or synergies) in order to...

    The Meaning of Life

    Life: The number of wounds it takes to destroy the figure(s) – Herocape Master Set 3 Battle for the Underdark It sounds simple, but in Heroscape, life is actually quite complicated—Life is a considerably different thing for a Hero than a Squad, and gets only more complex when you add the...

    Heroscape: 20-year Anniversary Re-Issue

    The year is 2023, and the children who grew up playing Heroscape now control the media-- Heroscape nostalgia is at a peak. Original issue Heroscape miniatures and terrain are hot on the antiques circuit, and the rights to a blockbuster Holo-Movie version of the game have been sold. Now you've...

    Basic Custom Units, No Powers

    I'm not even sure what terms I'd use to search for something like this. Has someone figured out how much you would price generic units with only stats and no powers? For example: Generic Unique Hero Medium 5 Life - 5 Move - 5 Range - 1 Attack - 3 Defense - 4 Points = 25 Generic 3-figure...

    Scenario-Based Tournaments

    In the What Exactly is "Balanced" thread, I wondered what it would be like if tournaments were built more around scenarios like those officially released. I know that many of them are kill 'em all scenarios, but many of them are objective based scenarios in which one or two players pursue an...

    Improving Units Through Terrain Features

    I've seen a lot of discussions about boosting sub-par units by modifying their point value, by customizing their stats and powers, by changing the game-format, etc. I haven't yet seen a thread that discusses ways to boost sub-par units by adding certain terrain features to maps (at least, I...

    Draft-Pool Strategy

    Even though I didn't get to attend the Colorado drafting tournament, I'm eager to get a shot at trying one. So far, most versions of a drafting tournament involve each player bring an army-pool that they mix with their opponent's army-pool, with each player taking turns drafting from the larger...

    What Properties Could Succeed In Heroscape

    I'm interested in comparing and contrasting the ways in which Marvel and D&D were introduced into Heroscape, and figuring out what worked and what didn't. One difference between the two is that D&D was fully integrated with Heroscape-- Marvel's relation to preexisting Heroscape was ambiguous...

    Tournament of Attrition

    This is inspired somewhat by RoninValentina's post in another thread: http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showpost.php?p=1172934&postcount=41 I like this basic idea-- carrying your wounds as your progress through a tournament. I would suggest doing it a different way, though-- everybody...

    Percent Chance of Rain

    It occurs to me that there are a lot of stat-savvy folks on this Message Board, so maybe somebody can explain this to me: Sometimes I'll wake up, look out my window, and see that it's raining. Then I'll flip on my radio and hear a weather forecast saying that there's a 40% chance of rain...

    How do YOU prepare for a Tourney?

    There are threads with tips for building competitive tournament armies, but I didn't find a thread specifically about players detailing their own, personal methods for tournament preparation. Since I'm relatively new to the tournament scene, I figured it would useful to find out what other...

    Draft Blog to Real Blog

    I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I saved a blog entry as a draft before posting it for everybody to see. Now, I can get to the entry to edit it an what-not, but I can't figure out how to publicly post it (at least, it doesn't seem to be showing up under the "Blogs" header). Any tips...

    Balanced Maps Vs. Balanced Tournaments

    I think the bias (based on what I've read on the BoV thread) is towards having tournament maps be relatively balanced for all units... or maybe just to make sure that no one unit can dominate any particular map. I think that bias is all fine and good, but I was thinking that it may encourage a...
