Wow, I must admit that our games have not yet reached that caliber. The majority of our games are still elimination style.

We have toyed with a few scenario “Alternate-Victory” games though, but limited to Zone-of-Control or castle siege style games.

Castle siege games we added the alternative objective to kill Realin who usually hides in the top Tower.

Our Zone of control games have been played out two ways.

Glyphs with point values are strategically located at different positions on the map, if you’re on that glyph at the end of a round you get its point value added to your score. First team to 20 pts wins.

The alternate was again Glyphs strategically located at different positions on the map, however the first team to control all glyphs simultaneously wins.

Again not a lot of flavor to our games yet, and defiantly no back story (I like how you tied your scenario to the well springs).

We do all agree that we need a bit of a change up from the elimination style games. Recent new waves and expansions have been keeping the elimination game a little fresh.

It would be nice to try out your scenario as a start. I should have enough pieces, might have to scale down the castles a little. I done some casual checking on Heroscapers.com for a good scenario but haven’t come across anything yet that catches my eye.

However the Quests of HeroScape print and play cards http://www.heroscapers.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=711 have caught my attention, have you tried these yet?

Re: Quest Cards

I have to admit that I have printed and laminated all of the cards, we have just never used them yet. We keep thinking about it then someone comes up with another idea and off we go in that direction...

Funny you should ask, we just got a brand spanking new Xerox DocuColor 240 with an enhanced color output module. ;)

Now the question is what will happen if I am caught using it for Heroscape?

Maybe they question you, get interested, and join us for a game?

Lamination would be a great way to preserve your army cards, although they may not fit in the binder after lamination, depends on how close you can cut off the excess plastic i guess.

Actually, I laminated the Quest cards not the Official HeroScape Army cards. Well, "Actually" I took a CD with all of the PDF's to Staples and had them print & laminate all the cards. :D

Anybody want to volunteer to print the cards?

I have the card stock paper and the lamination. Its just that my printer is a POS and im out of ink. Thinking its probably just worth buying a whole new printer at this point, probably cheaper then replacing both the black and color cartridges, that and the printer is almost 7 years old.

I was at staples to get some pricing and i was turned off by the process. They don’t have equipment available to use, they take my CD ship it off to a separate print center, i'd have to leave detailed instructions on what to print because the PDFs only have cards on certain pages, and the back of the cards is on a single sheet that would have to be printed over and over again. Im sure there's plenty of room to screw up.

Then i would have to glue the back sides to the front sides, cut them all out bring them back to staples for lamination.

So i just bought some card paper, and sticky lamination. Figured i just print them myself, and that way i could print both the front and the back of the card on the same sheet. Inkjet on super high quality is probably just fine to play with.

Just an FYI for someone who has a fancy laser printer... if you print with the wax laser printers do not laminate because the wax will melt. If you use a regular ol' laser printer it works great.

Just incase someone just got a new fancy printer at work and found out it was using wax... I tried it, it bleeds all over.

Druid my printer is full of ink, new printer head as well, could probably do your printing justice
