New Fantasy Hero Complete Kickstarter

[Hyper-Man]

Well...got my copy of Champions Complete. Had a thumb through and really like the format. Rpgnow have a sale on Hero 6th Ed and Champions so I grabbed those for a bargain price. No doubt they will be useful as they go into depth but I have to say the 'Complete' format is much better in my opinion. I have backed the Kickstarter for the pdf as International shipping is very expensive (well it will be if conditions are met etc) but I think this new version of Fantasy Hero Complete could be an excellent book and all in one game.

looking forward to seeing it make print hopefully.

Are we getting anything like a bestiary or spells within the book or do we have to make them up or buy the big blue books...or are things like that going to be released in new formats does anybody know?

Now that we've reached $10,000, we'd like to announce some stretch goals. We'll unlock them as we achieve them, and make them available to you the backer!
$17,000 Fantasy Hero Bonus Pack. This will include 12 ready-to-play sample characters, an additional sample adventure, and an expanded setting derived from the adventure in Fantasy Hero Complete. All characters created in the Bonus Pack will be included in the Hero Designer Character Pack, and all backers at the Journeyman ($20) level up will receive it.
$27,000 Fantasy Grimoire: We will print and make available a 240-page book of spells and magic items with an original cover.
$37,000 Fantasy Bestieary: We will print and make available a 240-page book of monsters and enemies with an original cover.

Just a little over $3000 needed to fund this in the next week.

According to the author:

The book is done and around 256 pages. It also has been sent to the printer.

The PDF is now available to backers.

What about non backers?

I don't know for sure but I would imagine that it will be available for sale once the hard copies have been sent to backers.

Anyone know if they still plan to put out the grimoire and bestiary separate from the kickstarter? With those books I'd like to check out the system, without them and I'll probably pass.

The funding level did not reach those goals.

$27,000 Fantasy Grimoire. We will print and make available a 240-page book of spells and magic items with an original cover.

$37,000 Fantasy Bestieary. We will print and make available a 240-page book of monsters and enemies with an original cover.

However, versions of both of those for 6e already exist but are now only available as PDF's from the Hero Store:

They're also available at RPGNow/DriveThruRPG in both PDF and Print on Demand format. You pay about the original cover price for the PoD versions, and can add the PDF to the purchase for no additional charge. If you only want PDFs, though, you'll save a few bucks buying straight from the Hero Store.

They are both very dense and comprehensive books.
