At last, HeroQuest has arrived. Really. We got our copies today, and Steve Jackson Games informs me that the book will ship to distributors Monday, August 18th. It should then show up in game stores as soon as the distributors can get them there. Surely it is only coincidence that this coincides with the mysterious event that knocked the power systems of much of the eastern seaboard of North America off-line? (Despite recent rumors, the limited edition hardcovers are still at the printer, and will not ship for at least another week.)
Years in the making, HeroQuest is epic roleplaying amidst the myths and magic of Greg Stafford's fantasy world of Glorantha. HeroQuest, Roleplaying in Glorantha is the culmination of 27 years of creation, revision, and difficult questing. Designed by Robin D. Laws and Greg Stafford, HeroQuest contains the same basic rules system as the ground-breaking Hero Wars game, but it has been revised, streamlined, and expanded. While previous Hero Wars supplements are compatible with HeroQuest, the game is better, faster, and stronger than it was before. This 288-page perfectbound book includes everything you need to start adventuring in Glorantha, including three new introductory scenarios and a new heroquest, in which the heroes travel into the land of myth. Sample chapters are available to GTA members now, and additional samples and support material will be available to everyone once the site is updated.
For years, Glorantha has captivated its fans with its rich and exotic cultures, myths, and wonders. In the words of Glorantha's creator, Greg Stafford, "For 27 years I've said it would be out 'next year.' Well, now it is next year! HeroQuest is the system I have always wanted for Glorantha -- powerful and flexible enough to cater to every kind of hero, from the hunter trying to feed his family when the death of a god brings magical winter to his land, all the way to the champions of their homelands, duelling with demigods on the glassy bowl of the sky."
HeroQuest is available from fine retail stores or else direct from warehouse 23 (http://www.warehouse23.com/item.cgi?ISS1001). For further information, see the Issaries, Inc. website (http://www.heroquest-rpg.com).
We at Issaries want to thank everyone who helped make this happen. Most of all, we want to thank all of you for being so patient while we worked on HeroQuest. Without you, we would not be where we are.
Cheers,
Stephen
