My next goal for Patreon is this: if we can hit 100 patrons, I am going to switch from our current method of accepting, editing, and publishing submitted manuscripts to polling you about what you would like to see published, then commissioning that work and letting all of you comment on the creation process as it happens. If we can reach that number of supporters, we can begin the long-desired process of creating specifically what fans of the Hero system want to see."

  13. Hello Heroes! We're currently experiencing a small glitch in the Hero website that shows all items as being free when you click on their listings. Unfortunately we're not having that good of a sale at the moment, and you will see the actual prices and be charged for products when you check out with them. We're working on getting this fixed as fast as possible, thank you all for your patience.
  14. An eight page system agnostic article, the section of interstellar space described in The Void can be used in just about any science fiction setting you desire. Simply make whatever edits you need to allow it to fit into galaxies far, far away, millennia-old human empires, or unexplored sectors of space. You could even rework The Void into something far smaller — such as an oceanic region where things are very, very strange, or the site of a magical incident gone awry. In an event, certain portions of the setting are left open-ended, to enable you to better customize The Void for your own use. So make The Void your own, and do with it what you will.

  18. They got arrested and sent off to Stronghold, and the world breathed easier in their absence. They were forgotten about, and the world moved on. The problem is, no one thought to tell them that they were irrelevant. They couldn’t, wouldn’t stay in Stronghold forever. They couldn’t, wouldn’t stay in hiding once they escaped. They’ve relaxed long enough, they are rested and rejuvenated. It's time to let the world know they are back and they are ready to return to their old ways. It's time to put fear in the hearts and minds of the world. The time for their deathly return is now, the world will tremble, and The Conquerors and Deathstroke will smile. Available with or without Hero Designer files!

  22. WE ARE HERE TO DEFEND HUMANITY! The Institute for Human Advancement is one of the most insidious villain organizations in the Champions Universe. Any super mutant who has a positive public image has had to defend it, and themselves, from the IHA at some point. And anyone would develop a hatred for an organization if they had to routinely fend off the combination of frivolous lawsuits, hostile “newsmen,” hate websites, front groups, lethal poisons, and occasional armed assassins created by it! However, most of the public doesn’t consider the IHA to be evil. Just slightly annoying. They don’t have flashy uniforms like VIPER or DEMON. (Though they’re happy to use them as disguises when needed!) They don’t go around making big speeches about taking over the world or subjugating humanity like Dr. Destroyer. In the minds of the public their peppy commercials and boring midday talk show appearances make them appear more banal than anything else. But the truth of this clever and genocidal organization is much, much more sinister. And its dark history, methods, structure, agents, and equipment are to be found within the pages of this book.

  23. Darren Watts has passed away as of New Years Eve. In the words of our General Manager, Jason Walters, "Darren Watts was a singular person of the sort that comes along once in a generation. His accomplishments are too many to list here: author, editor, publisher, and promoter all come to mind. He was an amazingly enthusiastic and interesting man, and there is no one that can ever replace him." Darren worked on many projects throughout his lifetime, with the purchasing and revitalization of Hero Games in 2001 being just one of his accomplishments. He also devoted much of his time and effort supporting smaller and independent creators through his work with our sister company Indie Press Revolution, and was a well-known figure at many TTRPG conventions. Our condolences go out to Darren's wife, Diane, as well as their families and all of Darren's friends. We will miss him greatly.
