And the UK price (£29.99) is only £1 more than the previous oevre. The old version was an impressive 372-page hardback - thick enough for me to show a friend in awed disbelief - but the new one adds more than 200 extra pages, making it an intimidating 1.75 inches (4.5cm) across the spine. Well, the most obvious difference is that it's chunkier. So what does 5ER do that the unrevised 5th edition didn't? I'm going to attempt two things in this review: to give an overview of the differences between the fifth edition and the fifth edition, revised (henceforth known as 5ER), which will be of more interest to established players and then to review 5ER as if it were an entirely new product, which will be of more interest to those who don't already play Hero. While I'm no expert compared to the people who've been playing for more than 20 years, I can no longer class myself as a newbie, as I did in my review of the Fantasy Hero Grimoire. I'm a late starter - many Hero fans have been playing since its first incarnation, as the Champions RPG (1981) back in those days I was hooked on AD&D, Traveller and Runequest.īut since I bought Hero 5th edition, it's become one of my favourites. Over the past 18 months I've become increasingly impressed by, and devoted to, the Hero System.
