Spoiler Alert!

Highways and Dieways by UranusPChicago

DOWNLOAD
* 2 Random glyph locations on this map.


Valor's Vale by Dignan

DOWNLOAD
* All glyphs are set locations on this map.

Overgrown by rym

DOWNLOAD
*Notes: Figures are not allowed to land on top of the Warehouse Ruins, via flying, or summoning, or any other means possible. The tops of the
ruins are off limits to units.
Glyphs: The two glyphs on the outsides of the map are set as Attack+1 and Defene+1.
Traps: The two Brandar glyphs represent Treasure Glyphs. When a hero figure attempts to disarm the trap on the treasure glyph, a successful
d20 roll indicates success and the hero may take the treasure.
If the disarm roll indicates failure, then the hero must defend against a 3-dice attack roll from the opposing player, AND the ruin collapses.
Please remove the Warehouse Ruin from the board and anyone standing underneath the ruin or adjacent to the ruin must roll defense dice
against a 2-dice attack (to be rolled once for everyone).

Fulcrum by Dignan

Hey guys

I won't have the build instructions ready for this before NHSD, but this is the large map I ended up making for the event. I just wanted to give everyone an idea of what to expect.

I was really excited for this, until I saw that I was two years too late.

In all seriousness, I'll definitely be there. Now that we have a time and date, I'll also see how many more people I can drum up.

Also, I'm pretty sure that I already know the answer, but just in case... there's no C3V or SoV units allowed, right? I just want to make sure when I'm deciding how to best spread out my collection for everyone.

yeah i am a cut and paste fool; I fogot to update the year.

C3v or sov are not allowed but, as always, whatever I have in my collection is available to borrow for the event.

 

[Astroking112]

Alright, thanks for the offer! I'll see what I can do with the classic stuff that I have and let you know if people want to use things that I can't provide.

 

[Rÿchean]

Oh and the point total was a hold over as well. Sorry; Point total is 475.

Thanks!!!!

 

[Astroking112]

Ah, thanks for updating that! I'll make sure that everyone knows the new point total.

Hey @Rÿchean and @Dignan, any chance that this tournament might have C3V's Special Release for NHSD Tournaments on the prize table? I know that neither of you are big on VC, but the units are typically pretty neat and it could be a good prize candidate.

 

[Rÿchean]

I am looking to finalize maps by the end of the month.

Any maps that any of you want me to consider for this event?

 

[rym]

I nominate Overgrown by rym. It’s a pretty awesome map if I do say so myself. Just ask DrL.

 

[rym]

What about Montfre Manor by Sir Heroscape? Looks cool.

 

[Astroking112]

I'd love the chance to get to play on the Shattered Plains. That map always looked cool, but the terrain requirements make it difficult to make. Similarly, Valor's Vale also looks like a unique map to play on. I know that both of these maps are probably a long shot, but I thought I might as well still suggest them.

For something a little bit more conventional, I thought that Fulcrum was well-designed when I played on it at GenCon, and I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

 

[rym]

Man, I remember playing on Valor’s Vale when it was set up on Dignan’s table when he first built it years ago. Great, fun map.

I know that it isn't like most tournament maps, but I'm a sucker for unique and/or large maps like it.

 

[Rÿchean]

I’m open to having a larger map but I’ve paired my terrain down. I might have to have somebody else bring it or that might be the only map I could bring. We’ll see.

 

[Dignan]

I'll probably bring a big ass map to the event. I still have all my terrain floating around, so I can put together anything.

 

[Rÿchean]

Sorry for delay;l I havent posted the final map pool as of yet.

You can count on these for sure:

Rym is bringing Valor's Vale and his Overgrown.
Fulcrum and Wyrmwalk are a go as well as Dignan's new map, Fragment.

Update 9/30/18

It's been a year, so time to upload another map. I've got two on the table for NHSD, so I need to share them. Here's another Ice and Road map. Sorry for the repetition. The next one will be different I swear!

Map: Fragment
Date Uploaded: 9/30/2018
Requires: 1 RotV, 1 TT, 1 RttFF
Normal snow, normal ice

 

[Astroking112]

I'm ecstatic to see that Valor's Vale made the cut. How much will it take to ensure that I get to play a game on it?

Is the other map that Dignan referenced also going to be included at NHSD? I'm just curious as to how many maps we already have confirmed so that I know if Leo and I should try to pack up an extra one.

 

[AnubianWolf88]

...furiously searches ebay for affordable Thaelenk Tundra

*fails*

 

[superfrog]

I have a Thaelenk Tundra (it's missing the base for the 3-hex glacier, but it's complete otherwise, including Dzu-Teh) that I'd be willing to sell for less than eBay prices.

 

[AnubianWolf88]

Is Overgrown available as a download?
