HERO WARS IS OUT!

Issaries, Inc. is very pleased to announce the release of Hero Wars.

Hero Wars is a new roleplaying game designed by Robin D. Laws. It is a game of high fantasy and mythology set in the world of Glorantha. It is a story-telling system, not number crunching. It is fully scalable, has four different competing magic systems, and features an array of gods and monsters to support or harass hero characters.

"Hero Wars isn't RuneQuest," says Greg Stafford, President of Issaries, Inc. "This is an entirely new system that Robin has made for Glorantha. To me, it is closer to the real Glorantha than previous game systems." Glorantha has been known in gaming for over two decades, and this is the fifth game to be released about it. Hero Wars is true to the established materials, but still has lots of new information about the already rich fantasy world.

"It is going out the door," says Stafford. "Glorantha Trading Association copies have been mailed, and wholesale orders are being shipped this week. It'll be in Europe in a week."

The line of books are all in a trade paperback format (8.25" x 5.25"), with illustrations by Lee Moyer, Marc Moreno, and Simon Bray.

Hero Wars, Roleplaying in Glorantha is 256 pages and retails for $19.95. This core rule book explains all the basics you need to play.

Narrator's Book, Game Mastering in the Hero Wars is 176 pages and retails for $14.95. These are narrator's rules, especially to oversee the larger scale of interactions, and explain the Otherworlds of the spirits, gods and of sorcery.

Deluxe Hero Wars is a complete boxed set which includes both Hero Wars and the Narrator's Book (which are also available separately), as well as the 112 page Visions of Glorantha (fiction and mythology), and handouts, which include glossary, character sheets, sample starting characters, rules synopsis and maps. It comes in a sturdy box and retails for $44.95.
