Why Our Group Rejected HERO, but play it now.

I've been saying over and over again: This is what Hero Games needs to do. Emphasize the product that will actually get people into the game before giving them all the bells & whistles and end up scaring them off with a big black bulletproof monolith of a book.

Well, the schedule already has the 6e Basic Rule book coming out shortly after the main 6e books. I think actually releasing it BEFORE the main rulebooks wouldn't be feasible, nor desirable. Before a good job can be done on making a basic version of the rules, the full version would already need to exist. At that point it would mean delaying the release of the full version of the rules just so that it comes out after the basic version. That doesn't sound like a winning strategy to me.

Folx, I definitely appreciate the information and insights, but please let's keep this forum for rules issues only. If and when we want input on issues of presentation and the like, have no fear, we'll ask for it.
