The HERO System Advanced Player's Guide

[Steve Long]

Here’s our back-cover text describing the APG:

EVEN MORE HERO!

The HERO System 6th Edition contains all the rules you need to create any sort of character, power, gadget, spell, vehicle, monster, or weapon you can think of. But sometimes a few more rules can make your job easier, or open up possibilities for your character that you hadn’t considered.

If you’re interested in ways to expand the HERO System, or change it to suit particular campaigns or play styles, The HERO System Advanced Player’s Guide is the book for you. It’s filled with advanced, expanded, optional, and variant rules for nearly every aspect of the HERO System. It features new Powers, Skills, Combat Maneuvers, and other game elements; alternate ways to use specific game elements or build specific abilities; and more details to help players and GMs use the HERO rules.

Thanks to the Advanced Player’s Guide, it’s even easier and more fun to Be A Hero!

Coolness. Is there a final page count for this yet?

[Zephrosyne]

Actually, I'm curious about the new powers.

[SvZurich]

Curious about the price. I can't wait to pick this up!

Whoops, didn't read it that well, it will be $27 well spent.

Will there be a PDF version?

[gently humorous sarcasm mode]
No, of course not; of all the books we've produced in the past three or four years, this will be the one book that we're not releasing in PDF.

Yes, there'll definitely be a PDF. In fact we'll probably put that up for sale sometime very soon.

I know it is prably not going to happen, but I would greatly appreciate it if when you post the informatin about the book if you could include in the price the cost of the .pdf and the .pdf/book bundle, it helps me decide if I am going to get just one or the bundle if I know

That's great. I'm impatiently drumming desk for APG, since I regard it as 6th ed.'s 3rd book.

Any idea when the APG will be available in the UK? None of my flgs or webstores have it/can get it.

[Steve Long]

It's been available to UK distributors for weeks now AFAIK. If a store can't get the APG, that store either needs to talk to another distributor, or can make arrangements to buy from us directly if preferred.

[Tywyll]

Weird... neither IGUK (which normally gets stuff as soon as available over here), or Orc's Nest (both big online rpg sellers over here) nor my local FLGS in Edinburgh carry it. My FLGS only got the new 6th ed core books and basic rulebook 2 weeks ago.

[Tywyll]

Has anyone posted a review for the APG anywhere? I've not been able to find one and I'm really interested in more of the specifics of what is and isn't contained there in.

[bobrunnicles]

Is the hardcopy still available? Only the pdf seems to be available in the Hero Store, not the hardcopy or the combo deal.
