2004 Schedule

[Balok]

Now that you have hammered out the 2004 schedule (if memory serves, that was Thursday's agenda), will you be posting a page like the 2002 and 2003 pages? I know I'd like to read about what's coming, and I suspect I'm not alone...

[Monolith]

My guess is that we will see the Products section of the webpage updated sometime in the coming week. It takes time to write-up all those product descriptions.

A quick list would be nice though. :)

[Steve Long]

We'll reveal the first public tidbits of info about the 2004 schedule at today's "What's New At Hero Games?" seminar at DunDraCon. I've already got capsule descriptions written up for all 18 (!) products, which we'll post next Friday along with my weekly update. ;)

18!?! I'm getting all goose-bumpy here just thinking about it. :)

[Balok]

Eighteen products! Wow. I'm looking forward to the update. But given what happened with Dolly the sheep, are you sure it's a good idea to make this many copies of yourself before more testing is completed? :)

Holy Moses! I feel all tingly!

[Crimson-Hawk]

Yikes! I feel all tingly, too!

*goes back to typing*

:D

[keithcurtis]

I was AT Dundracon for the announcements. Cool, cool stuff on the way.

Keith "I guess I'm kinda' tingly too... sorta... Yeah. Yes. That's definitely tingly, alright." Curtis

[Lord Liaden]

Dang! Being a HERO gamer just keeps getting better and better.

[Nato]

Ain't that the truth!

18!? that's 3 every 2 months..... Yeah.... I'm definately going to need a raise....

Yeah, that's the single downside to being a HERO fan nowadays. Of course, I'd much rather have to prioritize my purchases than have nothing to choose from.

[Lord Liaden]

Don't forget that Gold Rush Games plans to resume their "San Angelo" line this year. They claim to have a ton o' unpublished stuff just waiting to be updated to 5th Edition.

Wonder is there will be a FREd version of Golden Age Champions... not that there is anything wrong with the 4th ed version.

[Steve Long]

Eventually we'll create a new Golden Age Champions. I'd guess it'll be on the 2005 schedule, but I don't have to think about that for a year. :)

Can you share what you know, or were you sworn to secrecy?

Even if Keith were not sword to secrecy, I think it would be in poor form to spill the beans before Steve makes the official announcements on Friday.

Hell, I've waited nearly 31 years to find out about 2004. I can wait another 3 days. :D

"Sword"? Did I say "sword"?

I meant "SWORN"!!!

Besides, if Steve were going to do something like that, I'd imagine he'd use a dagger, not a sword.

STEVE: "Now that you have learned the inner secrets of the company, I must kill you..."

KEITH: "Huh? I only learned the 2004 release schedule! It's not like I found out Darren wears lady's lingerie or anything!"

STEVE: "That is still more than should be known outside of the company. And, besides, that's Ben, not Darren."

*stabbity-stabbity-stabbity*

:D j/k

Provided we get a stand in for Keith, I'm all for it.

Stabbity. Stabbity. Stabbity. Bwahahahaha.

If there's going to be stabbing involved, I'd like to second the stand-in suggestion.

*They make me break out in big red spots

[Monolith]

I am bored right now, so I will make a guess:

Champions Genre:
UNTIL
DEMON
PRIMUS
Gadgets & Gear
Vibora Bay
Champions 3000

Dark Champions Genre:
Dark Champions
Danger International
Hudson City
Predators
The Evil That Men Do

Star Hero Genre:
Scourges of the Galaxy
The Galactic Federation

Fantasy Hero Genre:
The Valdorian Age
Tuala Morn

Other Material:
Pulp Hero
Ultimate Armor
Ultimate Mystic

[Crimson-Hawk]

Those are some pretty durn good guesses, Monolith; they cover the 18 mark pretty well.

I wonder if the 18 was only for printed supplements, though... ;)

The guy that plays Giles on Buffy... He was in the stage play. Pictures of him as Frankenfooter (sp) are still floating around the 'net.

5-6 of the could be Hero Plus books, but since I have no way of knowing what those might be, I just guessed with the material on the website. I know Meriquai Falls was announced as a pdf, but I have no idea if that will be late this year or early next year. The same goes for Gestault. We are just a couple of days away from knowing now though. :)

Sounds good to me. Any time I can save my printer an hours work I am a happy camper. I guess I will have to start working 4 days a week now. :)

SO DO I!
Stupid not sleeping...
Ohh yeah the products listing! Wooooooooooooooooooo Products that we don't know about.... ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I can't wait until FH but I know I'll have to wait any way. POOT.

Ahh well Ninja hero will be around soon and that means another NINJA TERMINATOR SPOOF! YEAH!

And by that I mean at my freind Grays house so I can read it and go woooooo!

[tgaptte]

Yep, much goodness is on the way. I too was at DDC and was witness to the products coming in 2004...I won't spoil the surprise, but all I can say is "Damn cool, it's great to be a HERO gamer once again!" ;D

Tim

[Crimson-Hawk]

Just one more day, phokes! Just one more day!

The waiting is painful, but it will be worth it.

I have only myself to blame. I spent months telling Steve, Darren, Albert, and the others that I was going to be at DDC, but then I actually found a girlfriend... all of a sudden, celebrating Valentine's Day was a whole lot more important than attending some silly game convention six states away. ;)

Looking forward to all the Hero Goodness to be revealed tomorrow, though. Very much agreed, it truly is indeed grand to be a Hero Gamer again!

[Peregrine]

I've got to get myself fully employed. I'm way behind in my purchases of HERO goodness, and the 2004 schedule is only going to make it worse...

[GradonSilverton]

How do you people have enough Book Shelf space for all this stuff!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

After everything else I have from Hero, It look like i'm going to have to start cutting out walls to make Bookshelves....

And Frankly, the Mini book shelf in front of the toilet needs an upgrade if you ask me!

I wonder if there is a significance to the 18 number.....maybe there is a secret message in there somewhere...

Walmart has bookshelves for $24, a little carpentry and touch up and they look like a million bucks.

Lots of shelves for HERO :D

[Monolith]

You would be amazed at how much space you have when you throw away all your d20 gaming books. :)

[GradonSilverton]

Now now...thats a low blow!!

I was introduced to gaming via the Hero system and frankly...its the one i love the most....

Do i own a D20 book.... 1 .... but it is only for research and comparison purposes!!!

So are you saying you tried it, but you did not inhale? :)

Hey now...we all know that Gaming material are ideal for those long sitting sessions....when's a better time to brush up on rules?

dont try to fool anyone...you all read them at that time to!

[BishopofB&W]

If you're really short on space, get under-bed Sterilite or Rubbermaid containers.

heck, i was envious of you're bathrooom bookshelf... of course, i'd be worried that if i hosted a game, some folk might never leave the bathroom, but still it'd be good for everyday use.

Through the miracle of eBay, I'm also beginning to discover this is true.
