BUY THE SKY AND SELL THE SKY

< June 20, 2008

Good news on the book-writin’ front! I’ve made more great progress this week, and it looks like The Book Of The Destroyer will be finished pre-Origins as planned! My only other task before I leave is to review the Monster Island layouts, which Andy’s just about done with. Fortunately my flight out isn’t until late Wednesday so I have an extra half-day I’d ordinarily lack. ;)

We’re looking forward to seeing a lot of you next week at the con! Unfortunately I’m going to miss a tiny part of it, since I have to leave mid-day Sunday to catch a flight to San Jose to go out to Cryptic Studios for a “media day,” where I’ll be participating in the promo by talking to gaming magazines and other interested persons about Champions and other Hero coolness. ;)

Product Highlight: The HERO System Vehicle Sourcebook

While writing about Dr. Destroyer’s tech I’ve found myself consulting several books frequently, and one of them is our awesome book of vehicles of all types. I figured the book definitely deserved a plug, so be sure to pick one up if you don’t have it already!

Convention Calendar

Here’s Hero’s current confirmed schedule for the summer convention season:

Origins (June 26-29, Columbus, OH; http://www.originsgamefair.com/): Our first major show of the summer.

Spocon (August 1-3, Spokane, WA; http://www.spocon.us): Steve will be a guest at this con.

Online Store Special

The Online Store is currently running another special! For a limited time, if you purchase $50 or more of books or other physical products from the Online Store, we will include a special item from the Hero Vaults, hand-picked by the Office Goddess herself, Tina. So act now before the vaults are emptied!

And that’s the week in review here at Hero Games. I’ll be away next week for Origins, so come back in fourteen for the latest news, updates, and information. ;)
