Lord Liaden Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Re: Missing: Fantasy Hero FH had to be moved from one printer to another' date=' which is delaying the reprint. In the meantime, we're fixing up the typos- when it does come through we'll send out a big notice to everybody. dw[/quote'] FH is of course still available in PDF form in the Online Store.

Old Man Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Re: Missing: Fantasy Hero Just buy the 1st or 4th editions off ebay. I prefer them, actually, to the 5th ed phone book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When's Autumn? I am certainly looking forward to it coming out, and am torn between buying a to be revised PDF or waiting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thia Halmades Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Re: Missing: Fantasy Hero I also know they've mentioned updating it to 5ER - so you may want to hold out. Me? I'm always surprised how grateful I am that i have printed copies of the books I need. I can't imagine the insanity caused by possibly NOT having them. There'd be insanity. When i couldn't get UMA, there WAS insanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer them' date=' actually, to the 5th ed phone book.[/quote'] Same here. I just can't say why, but the "phone book" just doesn't cut it. There is more "feeling" in the 4th edition and even in the 1st. Not to speak of a setting and two adventures in each of them. That's right: With one third of the pages 4th edition gives you a setting, two adventures a great compilation of genre settings, adventure ideas and one of the best essays on fantasy gaming that I've read so far: "Confessions of a hack and slash junkie". Greta stuff! One shoud by the 4th edition because of that one alone. More is not always more ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithcurtis Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Re: Missing: Fantasy Hero It's funny how tastes differ. I think 5ed Fantasy Hero is one of the best 5ed books. The world building stuff is great idea fodder. Keith "YMMV" Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legendsmiths Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Re: Missing: Fantasy Hero I've owned all versions of FH and I have to say I prefer the 5e version. However, it isn't for players at all. Being that fantasy is one of the, if not the, most popular genre in rpgs, a FH Sidekick would be great. All of the player bits from FH plus the Sidekick rules. $20-$30 and that's all you need. Maybe with a primer section for Turakian age. The GM buys the phone book and the players buy just the stuff they need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
