I got an email this morning from Dave
Millward, the designer of the original Heroes RPG, which is something
of a Holy Grail for old school collectors and any old school gamer
should just want to check it out. Anyway, I digress, I got this email
from him because I was one of the people that tracked him down and
begged/badgered him into doing a reprint, or a print on demand, or
just photocopying his set for me to see, or something. He decided
that wasn't good enough and was pretty happy that his low print run
game from 1978 was so fondly remembered, so he is doing a new-ish
version with an increased page count, and more, and expanded tables.
Some rewritten. Heres a link to the new website for a truly old
school game, support it and he promises expansions; and a picture of
the pretty new cover for the new book- slated for a September
release.
I also got this miniature in the mail
yesterday, but was busy and didn't get a chance to blog. I didn't
have much else to say anyway, so it would have just been a boring
EBay picture of a miniature still in it's packaging. I wanted to
check out the Celtos line, I had bid on a bunch of them, but got
sniped at the end and only got the one guy. Which made him pricey
(for me) because of shipping, I rarely buy just one miniature because
of my frugal nature. I did win three others from a different seller,
but they haven't even shipped yet.
Lastly, my Emerald Empire character,
Akodo Kotaro made level 210. I am not really sure why the game is
still running when Facebook told us they would shut down the app in
early June, but I have played the hell out of it trying to complete
old story lines and make levels, just to see how tough I can get
before the game is gone.
That's a badass character portrait for Akodo.
ReplyDeleteThank you, although I didn't have a lot of choice. The portraits for Akodo Bushi are hard-coded into the game, I just picked the one I thought looked coolest out of like 12 choices.
