New Dark Mamba Sculpt. Can assume the rest of the Mambas are probably on the way

Someone over on Reddit has made a WFP "Owl Bear," and it took me right back to Operation: Drop Bears Dive!

Let me ask, is there a player finder for this?

There used to be a stickied thread on the official forum but that was years ago (when I last visited regularly) and it was semi-outdated even then. You might have some luck on the HG facebook group. No idea if there is a HG discord though...

There's three of them actually.

"Force Ten" the official DP9 server - mostly HG the RPG 4e, but Rooster, the rules author for Blitz, is most active here - https://discord.gg/52kXZufPhs

"Heavy Gear Hangout" which is predominately HGB over TTS and your best bet for organizing a game that way - https://discord.gg/fN5t2ekBDr

"Heavy Gear Blitz" which is the most active tabletop miniature wargaming discussion - https://discord.com/invite/ExrBaMK

P.S. if any of those links don't work, tell me so I can update them in the HGB links section of my blog - https://yadzcb.friestman.net/pages/links.html

Thanks for the link! I'm not active in the scene (despite posting here on occasion) but I appreciate you sharing the links for those who are. I'm more here for nostalgic anecdotes and to occasionally shout at passing clouds.

Then you should look in the Player Finder section of the Heavy Gear Blitz discord, because that's where you're going to find anyone near you that's still active.

Just looked, seems like no bites on the matter. Two post on it.

The US section has hundreds of posts (I'm presuming by your flag). Last one was about a month ago. The only section with "two posts" is where someone didn't know how the discord forum channel works and asked about players in Tuscon outside of the US thread, the one people actually watch.

Where on earth did you post and get no response?
