Are the any plans to reprint? It's almost impossible to find it for sale anywhere on the web let alone amazon or the Hero store.

Recently, I've discovered that Hero Games supported has more books than listed on the Sticky threads. For example. I know of Circle and Mete, C.L.O.W.N. Defenders of the Crown, and The Mutant Files. What other older books are out there? Also, I know of several books by Blackwrym books that support the Hero Games format (like Algernon Files). What books are available from them that support the Hero Games format?

Hello all, I've noticed that there isn't a sticky here for Book of the Empress, Foxbat for President and perhaps some others. Are there forum reviews for these elsewhere? I'm guessing since these are Kickstarter books they aren't officially HERO Product Line, is that correct? I tried a search for both, but didn't bring them up (may not mean much as my searches tend to fail, for whatever reason). Thank you for your time.

I can't seem to find a hard copy of Champions the Super RPG 6th edition that doesn't cost a arm and a leg or requires that I sell my soul. Thanks for any help.

Hi there, I'm pretty new to the HERO System and the Champions universe, but I'm pretty excited about the potential for the Champions LARP rules, which I've been reading through. There are some rules questions that have been bugging me, though, and I was wondering if there's a forum that deals with the LARP products that I could visit to ask my questions?

Good day. I'm just putting myself forward to request that Hero System Vehicles gets moved over to KickStarter to get it published. We have books for Creatures, Equipment, Magic/Powers and Martial Arts. Vehicles seems the next logical step to me. I always found Ultimate Vehicle to be an incredibly useful book for both pregens and methods for creating my own. I would like to like to see what can be done with 6th Edition. Over the coarse of 5th Edition many different books were release about vehicles; covering the mundane, futuristic, magical and super. I feel we should give the people at Hero Games the chance to put all the experience they gained over the…

Hey! I got the two 6E books and the Basic Rulebook and noticed, that the rules are not exactly the same (i.e. the 10/12pt Skill Levels in the Core books cost 8/10pt in the Basic Rulebook). My question is... are there actual differences between these two rules sets, or are those just some editing errors that slipped in? Also, will the PDFs be updated in the HERO store (and others, like DriveThruRPG) eventually, so the up-to-date version can be downloaded again? Thanks! Bye Thanee

Enchanted Items contains hundreds of pre-generated magical items or your Fantasy Hero games. They’re organized into thirteen categories: Amulets, Fetishes, and Talismans Armor Bracers and Bracelets Clothing Jewelry Potions, Dusts, and Ointments Rings Shields Staffs Swords and Daggers Wands and Rods Weap…

So I gave up RPGs for a while after my last group split up, but I'm back and after playing a Hero Version of Traveller that allowed to me to do a much more action movie focused game than any other version I became an advocate of Hero. The thing is I'm having trouble locating the core books in the UK - I have them in PDF, I noticed there were some damaged books in the Hero store and I wondered if Hero Games ships internationally to the UK. Thanks in advance.
