    *Bump*
    Vastly curious myself as copies can be had for about $150.00 used. Seems like some money could be made from a reprint

    They're working on it. According to something Darren said in chat yesterday Campions, CKC and Fantasy Hero should be available in hardcopy "shortly".
    Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. -Marcus Aurelius

    Conquerors, Killers, and Crooks. It was the first "enemies book" published for 5th ed Champions Universe.

    Please add a preorder option for the upcoming Fantasy Hero 5th edition hardcopy reprint to your online store. Or if you do not wish to add a preorder option, maybe add a mailing list we can sign up to be notified of the reprints availability.

    I do not visit your site often and I hate to miss this reprint.

    As a note, I don't work for Hero Games. I know the guys at Hero aren't fond of preorders (for technical legal reasons). However if you subscribe to this thread I'm sure that once the book is available someone will probably post about it here.

    Unfortunately I do not read forums very often so I am afraid I will miss the post and thus the reprint, which is why I requested the preorder or mailing list.

    My point was that if you subscribe to the thread, you'll get an e-mail when it is updated.

    On the positive side, while I'll admit I could be wrong, my guess is that a reprint probably won't sell out too terribly quickly, so even if you miss the initial release you should be able to snag a copy.

    Sorry, but for a whole bunch of reasons we don't take preorders (C25 a couple years ago being an exception since it was a limited-run, high-dollar collector's item). When we do another printing of FH, we'll post that information on the message boards. If and when we do another printing of FH hardcovers (which we have no plans for at this time), we'll also post that here.

    You see, that right there. That is what we call blasphemy. I'm afraid that due to severe, legally binding, regulations we will now have to burn you at the stake.

    Eh, it doesn't surprise me. The process they went through to get them printed in the first place was a major pain. Them not wanting to go through it again seems a pretty sane decision.

    Who is Darren? The person you said "According to something Darren said in chat yesterday Campions, CKC and Fantasy Hero should be available in hardcopy "shortly". "

    Because of this post i bought the other Fantasy heros book and planned on getting the FH book when it was reprinted. I am not happy that I wasted the money of the other FH books.

    archermoo is referring to the hardcover fantasy hero books which were only done up once. The standard softcover version is what I expect Darren Watts (one of Hero's staff) indicated would soon be available in hardcopy, as they reprint it, Champions and CKC.

    Ok, I missunderstood. Either a hard or soft cover reprint of the book will be fine with me.

    Thank you.
