    Default Heroclix

    Anyone play Heroclix? Always wanted to get onto it but never was able to find people to play in my town. I've seen people play online through roll20, looks like a lot of fun.

    I used to be really into it back in the day. My friends, and I would play Mage Knight (HeroClix' predecessor) whenever we couldn't get a game of DnD going. When HeroClix came out, some of us migrated to it. I stopped playing about Fifteen ears ago, but got back into it for a brief spell as a collector last year. It's a fun war game, but over the years it has grown more complicated than it was intended to be. It used to be that you could know every figure's ability with just the reference pamphlet that came with the starter set, nowadays the figures each come with their own cards to explain things that aren't immediately clear on the dials.
    Continuity, even in a "shared" comics universe is often insignificant if not largely detrimental to the quality of a comic.

    No, I do not play.

    But some of the figures are pretty nice!

    I have never played it. Do the new sets come with scenarios/ campaigns? If so, are any of those playable solo?

    Some starter sets are based around specific scenarios, and have solo play missions. But they're there primarily to teach the core rules of the game so you can then move onto playing against other players.
