A couple pics. Flickr is changing their hosting policy soon, I'm not quite sure how everything is going to be effected. But I'll try and ensure everything still stays accessible. 

Free users can´t post more than 1000 photos. That´s the biggest most important change this time. 

Otherwise, those pictures are really nice!

Yeah and apparently if you have over 1000 photos, they'll start deleting them come February starting with the oldest ones until you're below 1000. I just had to cull nearly 300 photos from my account.

Lovely pics WBD! 

[Palathadric]

Beautiful, WBD! Feel like I'm getting lost in Heroica Hall.

It's definitely been one of my favorite moc's to recreate.

Ha, ha! Diana looking not too thrilled.  

[Asphalt]

Missed the pics. Love the pics.

She seems like the one in the relationship to be like "Really? Do we have to take a picture?"

If I had a Vindsval figure and my Luke character with me, I'd do a pic of them for you.

I've still got the build up, if you want any.

[Asphalt]

Want me to mail you Vindscal for a photo shoot?  Then you could have some non digibashed shots.

*blows off the dust*

Here I return, months after the hubbub has died, to find out how it all ended. Looking back, I wish I had had the time and the energy to be there with you guys on the final length of our creation, but I'm so thoroughly proud you all made it to the end, either way! 

Looking at Waterbrick's recreation of the Hall MOC (I disassembled mine a few years ago) and reading the farewell posts of the players who were here from the start, it literally brought a tear in my eye.  Again, I wish I had been there with you alongside my character Ellaria, and written about what happened to her during the finale and after that, but in life you have to make choices - you can't have everything.

I have a sense that my "second dark age" is coming to an end as I have a newly vigorated hunger to return to my beloved hobby, but let's see how things process. Maybe one day I'll be back with new ideas and games for us all to share. I at least hope so. 

But for now, I just wanted to express my gratitude for taking Heroica to the end. It deserved to end on a high note, not just die out. We did great, guys!

So I definitely went on one Hiatus too many and missed out on a lot  of the end half of this game, but I do want to chime in and say thank you for all the fun times and friends I made along the way. I lament that I never established myself as a QM as I originally intended, and never got to turn Sylph Solanum into the antagonist of a Quest series as was always planned. Ah well. I'm glad nonetheless to have played with you all! I have so many great memories and had such great fun! Extra thanks to @Kintobor, @Palathadric and @Endgame for being such fun playing partners, and of course, to @Sandy for hosting this wonderful experience.

It's like the band is getting back together.

Thanks to you both. You were there in spirit as the game wouldn't have been the same without either or you or any other player. It was a mosaic that each and every player placed their special part into. Who knows what we'll see in another year or two once the building itch starts striking some people. I've got another 2 weeks before baby number two arrives and I can say the break from daily posts has been refreshing. I've been introducing my 2 year old to Duplo and she's already loving it, I look forward to sharing the RPG side of it with her one day and hopefully the Eurobricks community.

I feel like we should do some sort of check in, to see who is still around.

I'm here!

[Kintobor]

I’ve been checking in, on and off for the past few months. I’ve had this immense feeling of nostalgia, lately, and I’ve been reading some quests.

I don’t know how I feel about helping mechanically with whatever comes next, but if people are struggling with a setting, I can write up a pitch and see how it’s received.

Yes please!

I'm here sometimes!  Still have email-notifications for these threads.

I am also ready to help even if I was just a lurker here, and never jumped in (mostly because of lacking time) but I am ready to start in a fresh new game.

I can help to create the new rules too; I have good experience in RPG tha could be use for help. I am on something between dicey dungeon (video game) and Time Stories (board game) to have some good mechanics and a back story that could make it nice, without beeing to complicated.

[Kintobor]

I was so eager to write something that I failed to ask: what do we want in Heroica 2 in terms of the genre? A new fantasy setting? A new Sci-fi setting? 

[Krol Zmija Sebastian]

Whatever it is I'm playing it.

Personally I think sci-fantasy is the way to go. It opens up a lot more options for people to play characters they want. 

[Kintobor]

I hope you guys like science fantasy, because my pitch is going to be science fantasy, akin to Star Wars, Warhammer 40,000, and Guardians of the Galaxy.
