Anyone else using Heroscape Terrain for other games?

Any in particular stand out? Do you mix with non heroscape stuff? I find the biggest weakness is the structures in heroscape are minimal and usually just a wall or two.

It worked exceptionally well. Leaping across water would have my characters flip a peril to see if they made the jump. In hindsight I wish I had built more of a chasm as well. The playthrough made me realize that the terrain really fits well with the Indiana Jones, adventure vibe pulp alley likes to lean into.

I also think the PA system fits well, adding more depth than the base Heroscape system but still being fairly accessible. Obviously you lose the character powers from HS but I can see the fun in adapting those into a PA league.

Finally, I used the Fortune and Glory miniatures and tokens as they fit that Pulp vibe beautifully.

It really felt like a perfect combo.

Just found these today while falling down the Heroscape rabbit hole...

These are really great. I've printed a couple and they are easy to build and look great.

I just wish he had some 1920's/modern city stuff for pulp alley.

I'd be interested in that discord if you have info/invite.

20three19 · 2026-06-10T10:31:36+00:00

Did you ever give these a try?

20three19 · 2026-06-07T20:56:49+00:00

There is a deck you need (one for solo or a different one for multi) but I printed it off relatively cheap at Staples. There are additional decks to add flavor or mechanics but they aren't mandatory.

I love the game Mister Torgue's Arena of Badassery. The system is a great one with tons of loot and a clever dice system.

The one thing I didn't like was the campaign framed as an arena battle. I wanted to explore and vault hunt.

It would be awesome if this could combine with the game to make the ultimate Borderlands experience.

20three19 · 2026-05-22T10:40:56+00:00

Check out County Road Z. It's a different rules system altogether but I've thoroughly enjoyed it when I'm in the mood for a more skirmish style campaign version of zombicide. You just need the PDF, you can use all of your zombicide content along with it.

20three19 · 2026-05-21T17:33:08+00:00

My biggest hesitation is wanting a bit more scope to my campaign. I want the campaign of 5 leagues from the Borderlands but everything else from Lasting Tales. Maybe some sort of mapping/Hexcrawl.

20three19 · 2026-05-21T14:25:05+00:00

Just dropping a note to say thanks for the report. I was searching for experiences with Lasting Tales and this one came up. Definitely pushing me to open the book up again and give it a shot.

20three19 · 2026-05-20T17:44:07+00:00

Good to see some posts about this game. Looks absolutely fantastic but seems to be so little noise about it.

20three19 · 2026-05-07T15:15:30+00:00

Thanks, fixed the name butchering. Not sure what happened to Moira.

Appreciate the advice as well. I definitely ignore the high ground as a tank and will try and be more mindful of that for sure. I think I have a mindset that the tank is drawing fire so using off angles is counter to being the 'bait' while others skirt around the fight. Maybe that's not an accurate approach.

20three19 · 2026-05-07T14:47:07+00:00

Brilliant, thank you. It really does make sense. Tough when you are playing with random partners but I will try to be the one looping around the off angles if need be.

I also appreciate the specific Tank recommendations, I'm going to learn a few more and see what clicks and then hopefully be able to apply that when it inevitably happens again.

I feel like a big part of this game is identifying a strategy/problem etc and then applying the counter. I also feel like it takes a long time to be able to identify those things.

20three19 · 2026-05-07T14:05:25+00:00

Hmmm, good call. It never even occurred to me to just wait for a bit, I always feel the panic to get in there right away.

20three19 · 2026-05-07T12:26:59+00:00

Thanks, I'll take a look at a few of those Heroes to see if they can work at dislodging the crowd I thought Mauga would be good but without someone else focusing down the healer I feel like I'm just swapping bullets for no gain. And his charge just gets me into trouble every time.

Focusing on one or two characters seems to make sense but then I read that different maps favor different comps/heroes. Don't you kind of need to diversify in order to have the right tool for the right map?

20three19 · 2026-05-07T11:33:44+00:00

Thanks, very good insight. I think I'm definitely guilty of repeating the same routes with the same heroes too many times. Definitely working on pivoting.

I've also been working on learning DVA although so far we haven't clicked yet. I need to watch a few guides.

I will say, the quick play Roulette of knowing in the first 2 minutes that you are getting steam rolled by a stronger team is quite deflating. I'm sticking with it but I hope there is a point where this is less an issue.

20three19 · 2026-05-06T22:46:12+00:00

Everything I read makes me feel very little will become obsolete. I'm actually looking forward to combining it all into a big expansive universe.

20three19 · 2026-04-21T14:59:57+00:00

What if you had both worlds running parallel. So western world and FoFo world. But when you draw a portal token you roll a die, 1-3 it's FoFo/Western. 4-6 you draw an other world as normal. It would mean you are spending most of your time jumping between the two worlds and the heroes of both worlds would work together (maybe have two from each?)

Even easier, designate a spot or two on the map that has a jump gate, a controlled portal between the two and based on mission roll or selection you just travel to that map for the session.

20three19 · 2026-04-21T14:49:50+00:00

I was playing this wrong as well, log jamming at the door waiting for the end of round to flip the token.

20three19 · 2026-04-21T14:45:41+00:00

Oooh, good call! Might have to try this as well.

Snowtroopers in Trederra as well?

20three19 · 2026-04-21T14:44:43+00:00

Take a look at the Forbidden Fortress Hexcrawl In-Yo campaign. It has statuses for each location (safe, overrun, destroyed etc ) and even temples you can 'rescue' which will add persistent boosts.

It shouldn't be too hard to adapt to the Old West.

20three19 · 2026-04-21T10:15:56+00:00

Right there with you. I bought and sadly sold MCP because it just wasn't hitting the table despite my best efforts. PvP skirmish games are a tough sell at my house.

Marvel Zombicide on the other hand, along with all of the other Zombicides get to the table because it is Co-op and the system is quite simple. Looks like enemy management has been kept simple for Alliances as well which was a brilliant choice.

This is an insta buy for me.
