- -..Esdevium's shop has finally woken up - Hero Wars is now in my grubby
little paws.
I didn't know what to expect from the final product. Having seen a GTA draft
of the rules I knew I wasn't going to be impressed with the basic system,
but the magic looked intriguing.
My initial impressions:
- It smelt new - always a good sign!
- These books are a bit on the small side... I'd have prefered a couple of
books about the same physical size as, say, the first edition pendragon
rules. Less wear on the spine in my experience - plue the damned things stay
open at a page.
- Thank heavens I downloaded and played the GTA pre-release version of the
rules so I can find my way around - a luxury I haven't got with the
Narrator's book.
- Why's the Duck on p.240 got a flat face?
- While "Gloranthan Visions" looks good, I have a feeling that new players
or GM's may find the going a bit hard without more background material.
(Yes, I know, the Player's Guides and Location books are coming...)
- I was expecting the strange runes for 1/4 and 1/2. Any chance of bunging
the errata in the box?
Bloody good job though!
Cheers,
Ash
