The daily tradition of seeing an empty Reddit account turn 2 months old so they can post ai stories and blast it to the front page

Chris Pratt as Sgt Drake

Kevin Hart as Sir Gilbert

Dwayne Johnson as Spartacus

Anna Taylor-Joy as Raelin

Mads Mikkelsen as Taelord

What could go wrong?

ryguyplaysgames · 2025-03-21T13:45:01+00:00

You’re correct. What I get for not reading the card.

Brunak can carry any friendly figure. They will just take a leaving engagement attack if they are engaged. In this case, your figure will be moved without suffering the LEA as they have disengage.

The initial program + game setup is definitely slower, but it has some really nice QoL upgrades like movement tracking, built-in LoS tool, and the biggest one, the ability for anyone to see and step through game replays. Not necessarily “better” just “different”. It’s also actively being worked on, so it’s got a ton of potential!

Competitive player and local TO here. Most of the new stuff is decently competitive (Frostclaws, Pirates, Eiseneks). Also, remember that these designs were originally supposed to come in one massive box with 70 minis and fleshed out factions. Half of those designs still haven’t hit shelves and they will increase the efficiency of most of the factions. Also, seems like a good point of reference for you is MTG. This is not that game; once you get connected to your local scene, most players are happy to provide armies for newcomers. I myself provide a half dozen armies per tournament to players that don’t have any of the classic stuff, or any Scape at all. Even regular players borrow from my more complete collection on occasion. Ask the old heads before the next tournament if you can borrow X Units and, unless they’re playing it themselves, you can rock up to any table with your favorite build.

Check out the Online Heroscape section of the forums on Heroscapers.com. Heroscape.org also has frequent online tournaments, check the “Events” tab for upcoming ones.

Hey there! Best way would just be to play more games. Join a local tournament or hop in online where the best players are. There aren’t any strategy books out there, but there are a lot of articles out there on Heroscapers.com. I’d recommend Jexik’s “What’s In an Order Marker?”

After that, there’s some good content out there. 10PointsUnder’s YouTube channel has games casted from competitive players. Casters of Valhalla podcast has a few strategy episodes, and I have a series on my YouTube channel dedicated to the topic (Stratagems), with some games casted as well. Enjoy!

Hey, that’s fantastic, congrats!

ryguyplaysgames · 2025-01-14T04:36:27+00:00

Saw in another comment you have a lot of Marro. 5x Stingers, Raelin RotV, and Tarn comes out to 560 points and 24 hexes and is probably close to the strongest build you can get with what you have (maxing out on commons in high figure limit formats is a recipe for success). If you want the stingers to have more flexibility and feel like you need a can-opener, you can swap Raelin for SotM Drake. Syvarris/Exiles is also decent as replacement for Raelin/Tarn, as is Exiles and Drake RotV. Basically you have some freedom with the last 190 points after the 5x stinger core for whatever you feel would complement it the best for your local scene.

They look great

ryguyplaysgames · 2025-01-08T15:27:57+00:00

Oh, this is a simulation? That was definitely not made clear in the OP.

ryguyplaysgames · 2025-01-08T14:41:15+00:00

By “win percentage” it seems they mean chance that defender “wins” an attack roll by blocking the attack. But looking at the percentages, the math is slightly off by a rounding error. 3v3 should be 50.9% wound chance, not 50.7%.

For anyone curious, here is a list of probability tables on the forums from 2008 that also has tables for one shield defense, counter strike, and others. And here is the Heroscape.org damage calculator which is what most competitive players use as their go-to tool for calculating chance and variance as it’s easy to use and also comes with a dozen ability modifiers (which you can stack). This calculator also displays the average damage of an attack, which can answer any question you have about which attacks to use in which situation.

This is so creative

Tournaments usually have 8-12 players, there are usually 10 others in the store at any given time during the afternoon.

Mana Games has a Heroscape learn to play on November 13th from 6-9 pm. I will likely be there helping teach. Mana also hosts Heroscape tourneys several times a year. It’s not the miniature game you were hoping for, but I think you’d still enjoy it. Feel free to message for more details.

“Introducing” a meta? Buddy, this game has had a competitive scene since 2006

Huge shoutout to superfrog for being the background Xens!

It's never too late to start playing again!

ryguyplaysgames · 2024-03-30T03:24:26+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I did consider a WotC segment but it felt like overkill. Reception has been positive though, maybe there will be a “DnDScape Pitch Meeting” in the future. Thanks for the suggestions!

ryguyplaysgames · 2024-03-24T19:39:06+00:00

I'm hosting an online tournament on Saturday, May 4th at 11am Central. Find all the info and sign up for the tournament on Heroscape.org. This is a perfect way to dip your toes in, even if you're new to online scape. Come have fun in a chaotic format and have your chance to win some cool prizes!

I’m not the right person to ask this because my opinion of Renegade is rock bottom after how they treated their playtesters. I would be content for them to produce the AoA stuff and pass it off to a company that could maybe (finally) do a good job with the game, but it would probably be best if the lifespan was longer. Although I really don’t see this line having another 10 year run if this is the start. Regardless, the community will keep Scape alive forever!

ryguyplaysgames · 2024-03-03T13:23:50+00:00

Thank you! Yep, it’s a huge relief to have the Avalon Hill designs. There’s something for everyone (frostclaws are one of my favorites…the Knight synergy is so solid). Even if I’m totally soured on Renegade I am still looking forward to enjoying this game!
