The art on the side is the cover art. I'm attaching a larger version. Jason

Those are specifically *not* Hero Games property. We have the right to sell them in their Hero System format - and possibly even include them in a hypothetical future collection or the like - but we/Cryptic Studios have no rights to characters created by you unless they are specifically  created by you as part of the Champions Universe, or some of our other intellectual property.  We cannot sell them, license them, create T-shirts with their likenesses on them, or anything like that.

What types of products are allowed (adventures, characters, fiction, etc.)?  I'm definitely  interested in contributing!

Email me at jason@herogames.com and I'll tell you all about it. Jason

Do you need to use art resources from the art packs or can you create your own?

Either way is fine.

Sounds legitimate to me. There will be art packs containing hundreds of images available to creators, which may help. Jason Walters, Publisher

They should all be there now. Jason

That's a good suggestion. Thank you. 

I didn't know it existed either until a few weeks ago, when I received Michael Satran's Hero System collection thanks to the efforts of some mutual friends, which contained a floppy disk of it. It seems to have been a very early electronic-only Iron Crown era Hero System product (#HH4). It's 78 pages, and was written by Edwin Millheim, Grant Scheiber and Krista Fells. It was developed for Hero Games in 1998-99 by Meridian Designs Freelance Group. It has both Hero System and Fuzion System write-ups, and is intended for use with Champions campaigns in which the GM wants to interject Horror elements. 

You are mistaken. Cryptic Studios has the rights to the Champions Universe as described in the 5th and 6th Editions. They do not have the rights to the Hero System, and we have a more-or-less unlimited license to produce more Champions products in any case. So there is no conflict here. 

#chuckle# That would be helpful! I'm going to make a clarification update this morning. Jason

You know - that's a good point Brian. Thank you: I didn't do a good job of explaining that. If we hit the stretch goals, I'm just going to send every backer the appropriate deck or decks, depending on what level they pledged at. (For example, electronic only backers will only get the electronic only files.) I'll do an update and see if I can change the explanations in the "story."

We're crushing it BTW. Go vote! 

Brian,

As far as doing a Fantasy Hero deck goes: we'll see how it works out. But the colored rim is a very good idea. Thank you.

Please take my $s now ;-)

 

If there is artwork please try to mix up male/female and ethnicity - it helps to sell to a younger generation and women.  Also ask the artist to not create a bunch of female pinups.  My wife, daughter, and other women I game with hate that.

There won't be room on the cards for human figures, attractive or otherwise. Just lots of text.

The stretch goals will include a second "booster" deck filled with more Ability cards, and possibly a Dark Champions deck. We'll see how it goes. If the project does well, I'll think about a Fantasy Hero Deck KS.

I'm in! February is too far away... but it gives people time to budget it. Will the cards be graced with good fill colour art?

I'm thinking they're more likely to be graced with extensive text and write-ups! But we'll see what Ruben can pull off.

Jason, why not release this in color? 

I don't like the profit margins that way, and I also wanted them to be a little less expensive. So it seemed like the right course.

Hi, this is great news...could you please tell me if you will be releasing Fantasy Hero, Champions and Star Hero in this format as well in the near fututre? I could order them all at once from Drivethru and save on shipping if so (I don't mean the 'Complete' versions, I mean the original larger editions). Thanks.

Champions and Fantasy Hero, yes. In fact, I've just approved Champions. Star Hero no because it's still in print and you can get it from the website.

I'm just glad we can get it in print. Color or not. Does this mean that given enough time we will see the other 6E out of print books also be released this way as well? 

Yes. Pretty much all of them and soon. Keep an eye on the forums for updates.

They're blue and yellow. Jason

Please check the "Print On Demand" section of the forums. I'll place links there as new titles become available POD. Fantasy Hero and Champions 6th will indeed be made available as b&w paperbacks shortly - but not Star Hero 6th Edition, as I still have a pallet of them in my warehouse!  

No, I'm just going to release it this way for the moment.

Thank you David. 

God only knows Joe. Two thousand? Fires of Heaven is probably the largest at 260 pages, while Posthegemony is the smallest at something like 80. 

34 my friend. 

It will be part of the KS project Gary as a $20.00 Add On which gets you access to the entire Strike Force Archives.
