    Amazon.com

    I know this has been brought up before, but...

    I can't find anything of Hero Game's stuff on Amazon.com. I have done a search on the actual book titles, ISBN, the author's names, etc.

    Authors names turns up some old, out of print stuff or stuff from other companies that are not Champions, FH, SH or NH related.

    I have sent Amazon.com an email about carrying Hero Games stuff, but I am not sure if that would do any good.

    Has anyone had any luck getting new Hero Games stuff on Amazon.com.

    They have a "Z-Shop" at Amazon. Try this...

    http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/sea...ld-status=open

    (It's DOJ Inc. Hero Games, maintained by Hero's own Tina, I believe)

    Can you use your Amazon gift certificates at the z-shops?

    Hmm...

    I have a bit of bad news for you...

    As far as I have been able to determine the answer is no.

    Now that may have changed, so go to Amazon and search under zshops and check their payment policies.

    I was hoping to be able to order through Amazon.com to a) use my gift certificates and b). they usually have books 10-60% off.

    I can pickup The Complete Fighter (or whatever the new version is called) and Dragonomicon for $26 or $1 and some change with my gift certificate. I would rather use it on Hero Stuff.

    Thanks.

    Item #2...
    "...except gift certificates may not be redeemed for purchases at Amazon.com Auctions, zShops..."

    Sorry.

    It's not your fault Blue. I am being very picky about spending money on RPG stuff now. I can afford spend some money on RPG, but I am not going to just be spending it on any old stuff.

    I like Amazon.com because I usually get the nice discount, no shipping (usually) and I get the stuff in 2 days.

    I don't understand why Amazon.com doesn't carry Hero Games merchandise unless it is through auctions or the zshops.

    HERO has said it doesn't distribute to the book trade because they want a guarantee of returnability, which is a huge financial risk. Possibly Amazon expects similar consideration?

    In any event, you can get decent discounts from the online vendors <a href="http://www.frpgames.com">FRP Games</a> and <a href="http://www.usacomicbooks.com">USA Collectables and Cards</a>. These discounts aren't up to Amazon's best, but they're not bad.
