Hero Wars 2nd edition announcement (2001)

In 2001, Issaries announced a second edition of Hero Wars:


1001. Hero Wars (2nd ed.)  Hero Wars (second edition)

Product Number ISS 1001. ISBN 1-929052-12-X, price TBA
  256 pages, standard format
 Available: Spring 2002
Designed by Robin Laws, developed by Shannon Appel, Roderick Robertson, Greg Stafford and Stephen Martin.
Cover art by Lee Moyer.

This second edition of Hero Wars contains the contents of Hero Wars (ISS 1101) and the former Narrator’s Book (ISS 1104), which have been revised, re-edited, and laid out in a completely new format. It contains the complete rules for Hero Wars, including beginner-friendly Character Creation, new rules for Hero Bands, simplified Contest resolution, and streamlined Magic systems. New scenarios, a new heroquest, and over a dozen hero bands help to breathe new life into the rules for players and narrators alike. All previous Hero Wars supplements remain fully compatible with these revised rules.
