Heroica Tournament

Postby Rich Stokes » 1:44pm on 26 Oct 11

Given the love of Heroica here and the number of people bringing sets, does anyone fancy making some sort of tournament happen on Thursday night?

Basically, link all 4 sets like in that poster thing and have 6 players run through. Run multiple tables at a time. Person who gets the most kills is the winner and gets, er, something.

Mick, Rich, you up for that?
I also write a regular column here about roleplaying games and what we're really doing when we play them. It's kinda dry, but hopefully interesting to at least someone.

I've no idea how to play. Would that be a barrier to joining in? Of course I'm also reliant on the Kenners Fun Bus for getting down there and he's having to work half a day, so not sure when we'll arrive.

The game is written for 8-year-olds. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to handle it ;^)

There is a funky video here.

The rules are here.

Yes, but 8 year olds can program DVD players. Adults, on the other hand...

I don't have a copy of Waldurk, but I can certainly run the others if requested. Oooooooshie has a full set though.

We're going to run the Lego boardgames anyway as part of the Indiecon Thursday Night Icebreakers. :D

I'd say Fortaan. It has the best mix of rules.
