  5. It's now the 1990's. TASK FORCE may be no more and its survivors may be attempting to move on with their lives, but the superhuman world knows no rest nor respects the wishes of those who wish to participate in it no more. This sourcebook contains updates for Ladyhawk and Starforce, plus new heroes and villains unique to the TASK FORCE universe who figure prominently into the stories between 1992 and 2002.
  6. With the manuscript finished, we're working away at getting some final artwork in so we can complete the layout and go to press. There have been some delays due to the serious injury and then illness of one of our interior artists, but we've gotten past that now and are planning out how the final book will look. Hopefully we will go to press in January 2020 and, of course, have the final PDF version to backers before then.
  7. Vikon's older brother Tlokon has ascended to the Sh'Garothayn Throne of the Varanyi by killing his father the Heir Presumptive, his uncle the previous Emperor -- and then framing Vikon for the entire plot. His next stop -- Earth, to harvest its vast psionic potential and spearhead his conquest of the entire galaxy. Can TASK FORCE and Biomaster lead a rebellion on the Varanyi homeworld to stop his plan before the entire Milky Way galaxy is plunged into total war?
  8. From Hall of Champions HERE. The Creator's Goals: Make the character sheet less arcane. All the abbreviations can be mind-boggling to a HERO novice. Make it eye-pleasing with more open space and hopefully better organization. Tune it for maximum compatibility with HERO Designer. *Let me know if I can improve this result to better meet these goals. How to use the HERO Designer export; Add the new Adobe Form export format to HERO Designer. Export the completed character to a folder with a copy of this PDF. You should name the PDF the same as your character name (including spaces, etc.). Double click the .XFDF file exported from HD. (If it can’t find the PDF, select ‘locate’ and select this PDF.) (You may have to ‘allow’ this file on the import AND when Adobe opens.) At this juncture the PDF chosen will be filled in with the output from HERO Designer. How to use the PDF; You should skip printing page one to save ink and trees. Of course, this sheet works great interactively on tablets or laptop screens. The character portrait will not export via the XFDF file. You must select the Portrait field on the PDF and upload an image. It will resize the image to fit in the field. The Senses field is not populated. You must type in your notes here. I suggest simple summaries as the full senses are listed under Powers. The powers lists are broken into two sections. The first section is for powers 1 – 10. The second section is for powers 11+. You may want to tweak out the powers list in HERO Designer for best/desired results. If all your powers fit in section one, you don’t need to print section two. The form’s Reset Form button clears all fields except the image. This button does not print. The Background, Tactics and Campaign Use sections print (if included) in the Character Info field of the PDF. (…the “front” page of the character sheet) The last sheet is a “Combat Sheet” for easy reference. The Vitals Tracker is a handy place to keep track of injury/expenditures (via pencil…). The Armor Worn section must be filled out manually. The Current, Effect and Statuses (check boxes) must also be filled out manually. CSLs print first, then Maneuvers, sharing a field. Interesting Things of Note; Currently this only works for the Deluxe Character Sheet by TreChriron. However, any enterprising HEROPhile could modify it to suit their own form-fill PDF. I encourage you to do so! (permission granted!) Some outputs print odd characters. I tried to include a “rewrite” section to handle this but something odd might slip through. When you double click the XFDF file it might throw an error. Please report this to me with a copy of the output file so I can account for the new odd character in the programming (re: arcane ritual). Any other oddities, crashes, errors or strange supernatural calamities occurring while using this export format can be reported to me for resolution. All purchasers will receive updated versions at no charge.

  17. New From Hall of Champions! Welcome to the illustrious world of Tenfold. Here, you will find the beginnings of a world filled with magical races, idiosyncratic elements, and plentiful factions locked in an ever-changing yet never-ending conflict for the fate of the world. This is primarily intended to be a basic set of details for the world at large, not a detailed adventure guide. Adventure guides will come in their own productions, but this should be a good starter to aid those productions for campaigns set in this world. Additionally, for those who wish only a high-level world to go from without those details, this book should do admirably. Adventures await you in the world of Tenfold. Fare well.
  18. New from Hall of Champions. The world of Terra Prime is one of conflict and contrast. A world that has been forever and irreversibly changed by a mystical calamity that the Nazi regime caused during the second World War which fused together different realities. It is our modern day world, but The Arrivals now call Terra Prime home; Elves, Dwarves, Orcs and more live side by side with humanity. High Magic has returned with the coming of The Arrivals, and has forever changed life as we know it. This fusing of realities also acted as a beacon to the denizens of the multiverse who now seek to conquer, control, or destroy Terra Prime. Terra Prime is the source of truth which all other realities are based on, whoever controls it would hold immeasurable power over the other realities. Mad forgotten gods, undead necromancer kings, and even the agents of light and darkness, all vie to posses the jewel of the multiverse. Included within this mini-setting book: Over 120 High Magic spells 8 race and 7 ancestry templates A small bestiary An introductory adventure for 3-6 players 6 sample characters Designed for HERO System 6th Edition rules. Additional files for Hero Designer are available for free on the Hero Games website: https://www.herogames.com/files/file/492-terra-prime-hero-designer-files/

  21. This was intended for those who may have completed a project, and were holding back for some reason. It's not meant to pressure anyone; though, again, DriveThru requires that a new community content program open with a certain number of fan creations already available through it, and I don't have enough yet. If you haven't seen it yet, there is a complete file about what can, cannot, and can with permission be published under the community content program. Feel free to email me at jason@herogames.com to see it and ask for more information. Jason Walters, Publisher
  22. Hi guys! From the main page: as most of you already know, Hero Games will be launching a fan-driven community content program on DriveThruRPG in about two weeks, similar to Dungeon Masters Guild and Storytellers Vault. And at this point an amazing *fifty* of you have contacted me about contributing work to it! I was surprised and overwhelmed by the positive response, which I thank you all for. However, to launch the program in a couple of weeks I need many of you who have expressed interest to turn in your work in advance. So if you're working on something, have contacted me, and are nearly ready: please don't hesitate any longer. Send it to me! - Jason Walters, Publisher

  25. Hero Games will be launching a fan-driven community content program on DriveThruRPG in about a month, similar to Dungeon Masters Guild and Storytellers Vault. It’s going to be called Hall of Champions, and it will allow you to publish your own work on DriveThru for profit under the banner of being a Hero Games product. (Though solely for commercial purposes on DriveThruRPG.) You’ll be allowed to publish using any version of the Hero System you like from 1st to 6th, including Champions Now. You will also be allowed to use both intellectual property that belongs to Hero Games, as well as the Champions Universe, which belongs to Cryptic Studios. The program will supply artwork and templates to work from to make the entire process as easy as possible. To being with, what I’m looking for are some initial fan contributions from you guys so that we have a certain number of products ready to go at launch. I’ve already received commitments from two of our third party publishers, but could use a bunch more from fans. There are (of course) significant rules governing the community content program, which I will share with you should you contact me. If you have work you would like to contribute, it needs only be in PDF form and have a JPEG cover image available. (This can simply be a copy of the front page.) Thank you as always for playing the Hero System, and I look forward to hearing from you. Jason Walters, Publisher jason@herogames.com
