Greetings all!

Just wanted to let you all know that around 8:30 EST I finished the last character sheet for the HERO System Asian Bestiary. That's 88 character sheets (actually... 88 individual files) for those keeping count at home. The actual number of write-ups is something like 95+ as one file has around 7 complete write-ups in it. In addition, many of the character sheets have extensive lists of optional powers and some character sheets are nothing *but* optional powers, so the actual creature count is around... ohhh... I have no idea... My best guess is around 150 creatures.

I will be writing the Introduction over the next day or so and hope to have the file off to Steve Long by the end of the month. It should be out sometime next year.

Yes. In fact, I have 21 character sheets of assorted creatures and beings from Japan. This is followed by 20 character sheets from the Philippines. 15 from China, 12 from India, and so on.

My only down note was my inability to find anything on certain creatures (other than names and in some cases pictures). The frustrating part was seeing stuff in other game books but not being able to track down the sources used... On the other hand, I was able to find the exact sources for some such creatures and was able to develop character sheets for said beings.

Cool,

Is this going to be an E-Book?

Is it going to be under the Ninja Hero Banner?
