The HERO System 6th Edition

[Talon]

Question: my PDF copy of 6E1 has a bookmark issue -- all of the powers are under the "POWER EXAMPLES: ABSORPTION" header. This isn't the largest problem in the world, but if there's an updated version of the PDF I'd love to get it.

Is there any estimate on when Volume 2 Combat and Adventuring will be available again. My local game store can't get it in stock and my online order is stuck in pending.

I would be interested in knowing about the availability of the 6th edition rulebooks from the Online Store myself. I am planning on ordering a spare set of copies of both volumes, but the "item detail" for the bundle indicates "[Note: Books still in transit from printer. Will ship upon arrival]"

Is there any indication of how long a wait this might entail? If there is likely a long wait involved (i.e., more than a month), then I will probably hold off placing an order for these books.

I have the same question as the above two posts. I prefer hard copies because they're easier to navigate and cause way less eye strain when read for long periods, but I might not be able to take them with me when I leave for school in the fall. So I'd really like to be able to get the book+PDF bundles for 6E Volumes 1 and 2, but the only copies of 6E1 right now are marked "damaged cover" and 6E2 is "in transit". Any idea when you'll get new copies of either/both? If new copies of 6E1 aren't on the way, just how badly damaged is this "damaged cover"?

HERO looks completely amazing, and I can't wait to get the books and start playing.

We have no set date for getting a new print run of 6E1 adn 6E2 done, and thus no specific date when they'll be available. Because we no longer want to print the books in China, we have to transition them to our current color printer in Texas, which will be extremely expensive. So it's not something we can just do whenever we want, we have to make sure it's all in the budget, etc., etc.

On the upside, this will allow us to correct typos, errata, etc. from the first printing, so the second printing books will actually be a smidgen better.

Any word on Book 1 getting back into print? It's kind of hard to check out the game when I can't even look at it. (And no, I will NOT buy a pdf. I want a book.)

[Steve Long]

We don't have any specific information at this time. When we do, we'll definitely make sure to let everyone know.

How big are the pdf files - thinking it might be convenient to put on tablet rather than carry the books

[Dreamstreamer]

Surprisingly small. On my machine Volume 1 (466 pgs.) is 21,769KB and Volume 2 (322 pgs.) is 11,557KB. I would be concerned that the pdf reader on a tablet may render it funny, though. Good luck!
