Looking for a game of online Heroscape? Use this thread to request a game, or find other people already looking for one.

What is online Heroscape? How do I play?
Online HS How-to-play and Question Dump

What maps are available?
Online HS: Maps and Figures

Any tools to help me play?
Filthy The Clown's awesome online Heroscape app

How this works:
Keep requests simple and to the point.

-Include when you want to play.
Specify day, how long you're available for, and time zone.
"I would like to play today (Dec 4). I'm available anytime before 7:30pm EST"
"I'm free for a game this tuesday (Dec. 6) between 3:00 and 8:00 mountain time"

-List any special requests.
*specific maps you're interested in playing (or perhaps NOT playing)
*etc. etc. Try to keep it simple.

-When looking for a match:
 -Be sure to check all the posts carefully! We don't want to leave a fellow 'scaper hanging!
-Please try to resolve existing match requests rather then starting new ones!

Lets get the ball rolling shall we?

I might be able to do a game this Sunday and can do it through Skype or PM, and can start at anytime between 1:00-4:00. The Map will be Montiqua Ledge and will follow the scenario involving floodwaters from the book. Please PM me two hours before you want to start the game. Lastly, pick armies of 620 points. Classic, C3V, C3G, SoV, HoSS, and and any figures passed by CHCG24 are allowed.
 
Re: HeroSkype Match Request Thread

Because either I am a blind idiot or I'm just blind I just found out about this thread.

Either way...
I'm usually open for a very casual game on Sundays from noon to 6PM Eastern Time (for example, RL pending, I'm open this Sunday...and the following one). I'm open to dang near any custom you can think of (as long as it is reasonably balanced...heck it can be completely unbalanced, who cares ;)).

I usually just use facebook, but I can use another chat site at your discretion, just no Skype stuff or that google thingy.

Zap me a PM if your ever up for match. :)

In above, replace squiggle brackets {} with regular brackets []

Easier way is type a link text, hilight it, then press the globe link button

and paste the web link.

I may be up for a game next week.

Added! Thank you for the advice! Glad to see people are using this.

I dropped a line on the heroskype threads, hoping they'd post a link to it, but didn't happen.

Still, figured someone needed to start a matchmaking thread!
 
Re: HeroSkype Match Request Thread

bold for tldr

Noob looking for game with patient teacher. I know the very basics, and while I'll be awkward with the synergies, and strategies of the master game, I'll be capable.
I really want to up my awareness of things like threat zone, etc.

I'm a thirty something guy, so maturity is not an issue. Would rather not play with youths; the situation just borders on creepy, so I'd rather avoid it.

Long history of PnP RPG, and other online gaming.

8-10:30pm EST w/ hard stop @10:45.

Start time depends on my kids' bedtime, so some flex is needed.

I have RotV, SotM, BftU, FotAx2

I don't have any expansions, so playing competetive style with multiple squads is not an option. OOTB scenarios might be a good idea.
I'll try and set up a webcam or two.
Can use Skype, yahoo, vent. I can leave the game setup between sessions, if the game doesnt end within the play time.

PM for email to discuss.
 
Re: HeroSkype Match Request Thread

Where else might one look for Skype games?

Good question. I think if this thread was advertized a little more, it might draw a few more players. But there's not really any other organized way to hunt people down. :(

Count me in for a game; please send me a PM about your availability, what map you want to use, and your suggested points for the game (I recommend a lower points game for the first match...around 350 - 400 points). We can then set up a google doc and get you squared away in regards to the online tools.

I also recommend reading this post, as it contains specific instructions for online play.
 
Re: HeroSkype Match Request Thread

Ghostship/Izner/others, would you be willing to fill in for Scapemage for the last few games of the league?

Several people play in the league without actually setting up a physical build. I have set up a physical build for 5 of my 6 games, but I didn't have any trouble in the one where I didn't.
 
Re: HeroSkype Match Request Thread

Is there enought to love about the game without the terrain and minis?

The tactile nature of the game is a nice break from the computer.

There's enough to love without the minis. Not that I don't love the minis, but I love the gameplay even more. Of course, like I said, I usually set up the board before I play the game, although I usually don't keep up with moving the figures around as the game progresses.

So, are you game to give the league a go?
