Kickstarter Projects

Am I the only guy on the board who backed the porcelain dice? Just wondering....

The first wave of role-playing design was its own Renaissance, marked by greatness of all kinds. If you were playing then, you'll remember. And if you weren't, you'd be amazed at what that wave held. One of them was Champions, the Super Role-Playing Game. Hero Games is proud to present Champions Now, to be created by pioneering game designer Ron Edwards, author of Sorcerer and co-founder of The Forge. Ron will revisit the original three editions of first-generation Champions (1981 to 1988), recovering the power of this foundational era of superhero roleplaying. To learn more, including reading a playtest document and watching videos, head over to K…

I'm thinking about a Kickstarter for my proposed book Pleet Roodlepleen's Intergalactic Bestiary. I need money for art, and time to complete the entries for 194 Critters, AIs, Shipminds, NPCs and such. Please drop into the Star HERO area for some previews.

Hello Fellow HERO Gamers! I'm the co-author (along with Michael Surbrook) of the Extinction Event campaign guide for Champions Complete and the HERO System 6th Edition. I'm starting this post to provide a place for HERO Gamers to ask questions and give feedback about Extinction Event and the upcoming Kickstarter campaign for it that will launch some time in February 2018. A great place to get an idea of what Extinction Event is about is through our website: ee.madferretllc.com. There is also a Loop Me In page there to sign up for email updates about the Kickstarter. Thank you! Laz

Porcelain 6-sided dice! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/187384819/dynasty-porcelain-dice There's only a couple of days left on the Kickstarter, but I thought other Hero gamers might like to know about these 6-siders.

It was originally produced for my second-favorite superhero RPG, Supers!, but now a new edition of this campaign sourcebook is being produced that will support HERO System as well as other supers RPGs.

As many of you already know, over at Bundle of Holding we've launched two new projects based on an absolute mountain of scanning Hero Games has undertaken over the last few months. The first is an Early Champions bundle nearly containing three dozen .PDF ebooks featuring the groundbreaking early rulebooks, supplements, and adventures for Champions, The Super Roleplaying Game from Hero Games. The second offers all five of Hero's non-superhero RPGs, together with all their supplements and adventures, in .PDF ebook form. You can get all of them at bargain prices - but only for a limited time, as the offer ends in 18 days. Jason Walters, Publisher

Hello, I know that we would be many to back for a reprint of HERO System 6th Edition Core Books 1 & 2 (modified to include the errata). Why not do a project like that with maybe the Basic Rules and other books as bonus if the crowd-funding sky rockets ? No ?

Hi folks! I've recently launched a Kickstarter for a project called The Superverse. Currently, Champions Complete character conversions are a distant stretch goal, but I'm exploring the possibility of adding a complete HERO System version of the book as a new tier. I've got my Hero Designer all fired up, but this is a huge undertaking for me, so I'm posting here to see if there is any interest in such an offering before I start working on it. Before you respond, let me give you a product description: The Superverse is a campaign source book designed to be compatible with SUPERS! Revised from Hazard Studios. It includes: Updated cha…

Christopher McGlothlin's World Defenders: The Summit It's a superteam. It's a Rat Pack homage. It's written by Christopher McGlothlin (TIME OF CRISIS, TIME OF VENGEANCE, GOLDEN AGE, NOIR). One of the masters of the superhero RPG genre, Christopher McGlothlin (Time of Crisis, Time of Vengeance, Golden Age, Noir, Freedom City Rogue's Gallery, Earth Prime Atlas), has a new book. It's called World Defenders: The Summit. It’s a fun supplement about a team of superheroes. (Or supervillains, if you prefer.) It’s also been beautifully illustrated in full color by Storn Cook, whose work has appeared in hundreds of RPG products over the years. Link: ht…
