Long ago I stopped playing Trivial Pursuit with my brother. He is a couple years younger than me and the youngest in the family. After I went to college, he was at home alone and bored a lot. So, he read the cards. Well, one day we're playing and the question is about some secondary character...

I know I'm necro-ing an old thread... but there's more information out about the D&D Heroscape set. It looks like the pricepoint will be about $30. The set contains several heroes and one squad (of drows). Powers are heavily influenced by D&D (ie, the rogue can disarm traps, fighter has...

From the box, the "dungeon terrain" is nothing more than standard Heroscape hex pieces in a new, gray color. I didn't see anything that looks like walls, which i agree, is a disappointment! It wouldn't be too tough to make a wall that fits the hexes. The Ruins in the original Heroscape...

It was announced at GenCon that WotC will be releasing a D&D themed master set for Heroscape. The Heroscape forums are awash in speculation about what this means... Of course, the D&D forums for the most part don't even recognize this as a D&D announcement. The set uses old DDM figures on...

Heroscape did try to bridge the gap, but failed in the big box retail arena for several reasons. One had to do with how they packaged unique & common figures (sent too many uniques out and too few commons). Big box retailers ended up with unmoveable stock and wouldn't restock new waves with...

Heroscape has suffered from this exact problem. Wave 5 had the Nakitas which sold like crud. Because these products didn't sell, big box stores wouldn't reorder more product. The glut is only now clearing out and it's been 18 months since their introduction. In the meantime, Target and TRU...

Walmart continues to sell Heroscape, but has changed just what they will actually put on the shelves (Master set & small expansions are in, large expansions are out). FLGS are carrying HS now and the ones I've visited have been happy with the sales. Target & TRU have dropped Heroscape...
