    I remain convinced that no one has ever played an actual game of heroclix, they just own figures

    My least favorite thing about heroclix was the maps, I felt like it took away from a lot of the experience.

    Coincidentally MonPoc looks INCREDIBLY fun and the way they do buildings and maps looks like it adds to fun as opposed to detracts!

    Played Wrath of Ashardalon last night, it was pretty fun

    We somehow managed to pull the dragon out of the chamber deck and got beat up by him, though we spent the first half of the game getting slapped around by the encounter deck so we had burned a lot of daily/utility powers

    In spite of this, we did 7 damage to him before we got beat, though I'm not sure how you're supposed to beat him since he'll be tossing out a guaranteed flame breath every round with 4-5 players

    The Ravenloft big villains look even worse than the dragon, too

    I played so much heroclix.

    I have a ton of 1st gen figures I'm trying to unload, but no one wants to buy them it seems.

    I used to play heroclix every week at a local game shop, it was rad

    it's actually a really fun game, especially now that they've expanded character powers past a set number of colored boxes and introduced stuff like juggernaut being able to just run through walls and have his super helmet until someone pries it off

    I've done this. I won. I have never played TI since.


    Also Heroclix was sexy. I still have all of my older sets of models. Seriously, Doom as a one man army was the best. Him and Kang.

    I saw a demo of it at PAX East but I didn't give it a shot because I feared I would turn into an anime

    There are demo rules floating around if you don't already have them

    I'll pester my local game store lady friend about them.
    I know at one point I was put on a list for play testing.

    Demo rules are on this page if you're still looking for them

    there's a new nick fury that has a special ability, where every time he takes damage you move him to an unoccupied corner of the map to represent the fact that someone just destroyed one of his life model decoys

    Buh, I've spent a few hours today creating a map with open source tile sets.
    I've never DM'ed before, but I'm planning on creating an original campaign.
    Though this is a lot of work, I can see why dudes do it.

    also a professor xavier that can use mind control and psychic attacks from the starting area as long as like, an x-man is within range of the target

    also a hulk that can pick up enemy characters and use them as projectiles

    So I'm starting a campaign with some college buddies of mine where I'm going to be the DM. We sat down and agreed the campaign would revolve around the exploits of a traveling group of minstrels getting into wacky adventures. I'm going to run it as a super campy and fantasy based adventure while also stealing everything I can from music for inspiration.

    They will engage in battle with the dreaded Lord Victor Von Halen.

    It better not interfere with our quality time where your group of werewolves fail to accomplish anything meaningful yet still manage to massacre a room full of children.

    Nah, dragon is the biggest baddest around. Strahd gives a run for the money but the dracolich is a punk in comparison.

    I don't think it should, so we can continue to create our majestic adventures.

    And by that I mean perform this regularly.

    well there's hcrealms.com, but you have to register to view their units page (special abilities are pretty specific to individual characters and figures)

    and this site has some stuff http://www.mobilehorror.com/

    I picked up Death Angel a few days ago. I feel like I'm just now getting the hang of the rules. I think the rules could have been better written, but I really like the complexity in the tiny box.

    It does, the problem is someone always quits or has to leave.

    It's a great game though, I was winning last time...
