    HERO System Grimoire

    Here's the back-cover text for the HSG:

    THE WONDERS OF MAGIC

    Sometimes you need a spell for your HERO System character — or perhaps even a whole magic system. To make selecting and crafting your spells as quick and easy as possible, The HERO System Grimoire has just what you need: hundreds of spells suitable for any character or campaign. Unleash the full power and potential of HERO System magic in your game!

    The HERO System Grimoire includes:

    —nearly 800 spells organized into over two dozen categories including Alchemy, Black Magic, Conjuration, Cybermancy, Divine Magic, Druidry, various types of Elemental Magic, Necromancy, Oriental Sorcery, Shamanism, Sorcery, Superheroic Thaumaturgy, Voodoo, Warrior-Magery, Witchcraft, and Wizardry

    —numerous options and variations for most spells, making it easy to change or customize any spell so it’s just right for any character, campaign, or setting

    —descriptions and rules explanations both for common spells and for more unusual magical effects

    Whether your character is a mighty Fantasy wizard, a powerful superheroic mystic master, an Urban Fantasy shaman of the streets, a fiendish necromancer, or a mysterious warlock, he’ll find just the spells he needs in The HERO System Grimoire!

    Steve mentioned during his last online chat that they're hoping to have copies of the Grimoire for sale at the Origins convention this week, with the rest of them arriving in their warehouse shortly thereafter.

    Re: HERO System Grimoire

    OK. It has been a few weeks since Origins and there is no sign of the HSG in the UK. Can someone check stateside whether it is available to and ordered by any UK distributors yet? I've had to use my FLGS to kick the UK distributors Esdevium Games a few times about Hero products being available. I remember an almighty argument about the Fantasy Hero magic items book for fifth edition.

    Thanks, Ian.

    My FLGS in upstate NY just got it yesterday. I don't know what the typical delay is between the US and UK.
    (On my way to get it now...)

    Re: HERO System Grimoire

    I ordered the dead tree and pdf tonight. Not sure if I like or understand that the book's cover is not included in the pdf. Instead the pdf is a zip file containing three files: the book, cover, and index. I hope in the future they return to including the cover in the main pdf.

    It isn't on the distributors list for the UK for next week (w/c 29th August), so looking at sometime in September. Same for Star Hero.

    It's listed as, "Out of Stock." Did it sell out already?

    Re: HERO System Grimoire

    Currently the store shows the PDF and the PDF+Book bundle, but no book by itself. Is this correct?
    On the one hand you want realism, on the other you want a playable game. We can argue about this all night long, but until you all line up against the wall and let me shoot you, we are not going to learn anything. ~Sean Waters
