Heroclix Online BETA!

Click the photo above to be taken to the demo signup! It is $2, but c’mon, that won’t even buy you a minute with a phone sex operator! I will be trying this out this weekend and let me tell you . . . I am fucking excited!

Heroclix Online

Looks like Heroclix will be going online very soon . . .

HeroClix Online (HCO) is what we call a “transliteration” – a literal translation of the tabletop game.  Every effort has been made to make sure the two platforms operate in parallel.  Of course, there are differences, such as -

1:  The Maps are rendered in a beautiful 3-D space

2:  Rules are enforced by the computer – you can play poorly but you can’t play incorrectly (except for some bugs right now)

3:  Sanctioned (prize bearing tournaments) have a chess clock feature

4:  No more tackle boxes – Some will love it, some will hate it!

5:  Sound effects!

Before you get started, realize that you are about to play HeroClix an entirely new way.  For starters, there is a “camera” to help you manage your view of the board.  We think the camera works great but it did take some time to get .

And remember, HeroClix Online is not intended as a replacement for the tabletop experience, rather, it is a platform that is designed to make HeroClix even more convenient for players around the world to share their love of the game on a platform that fits into their busy lives.

Think about it; HeroClix games available 24/7, full rules enforcement, a virtual judge “at your table”, and you can play with folks all over the world!

HeroClix Online represents everything you love about the tabletop experience: maps, strategy, your favorite figures, and more.   Assemble your teams and do battle in the digital arena today!

Steege then also checks out Philip K Dick’s Electric Ant (Marvel) and God of War (Wildstorm), the movie The Seventh Seal and then gushes about an opera called Wagner’s Das Rheingold!
