LET ME TAKE YOU ON AN ESCAPADE

< June 10, 2011

As the heat wave here in NC continues, so do our plans and preparations for Origins! This year I�m going to try driving up instead of flying (the more I fly these days, the more I dislike it), so Jason�s had some stuff shipped to me that I can tote along. Should make for an interesting trip. Too bad I can�t bring Osiris along so he can check out the dealer�s room, but he�s taking the week off to go to the beach. ;)

Things continue as usual on other fronts. Darren�s still working hard on the printer logjam, and I think he�s hacked through enough of it that we�ll soon get The HERO System Grimoire off the presses, with other books to follow shortly. All of my efforts these days are focused on The Advanced Player�s Guide II. I�ve finished all the character creation stuff (well, aside from edits, and things I�ve thought of to add since then ;) ) and am now working on various combat-related tidbits. By the time you read this I should be well into the new rules for �social combat,� if all goes as planned.

Hero�s Summer Convention Schedule

Here�s where Hero�s going to be this convention season:

Origins (June 23-26, Columbus, Ohio): This year�s Origins marks the 30th anniversary of Champions, which debuted at the con back in 1981. While we don�t have anything major planned, we�ll be there in full force, with volunteers running plenty of games, and perhaps we�ll cook up a celebratory surprise or two.

DexCon (July 6-10, Morristown, NJ): Darren will be attending this con to keep the Hero and IPR flags waving in the northeast. Stop by and check it out!

GenCon (August 4-7, Indianapolis, Indiana): The biggest convention event of the year. We�re debuting the new Star Hero there, so be sure to come by and get your copy!

And In Conclusion...

...that�s the week in review here at Hero Games. Come back in seven for the latest news, updates, and information. ;)
