What I am most impressed by, is the prescience to call it ORCus.

That copyright notice - did you shout out to all third party content creators you could find, or is it indeed using material from all those sources? In the later case I consider this impressive almost beyond belief!

There's 62 sources of material for Orcus, including 14 for the core rules. But because I have to cite every source that those sources use, the Section 15 is much more than 62 entries long!

A lot of the sources are only for one or two things. For example, Goodman Games had a handful of 4e adventures under the OGL, usually with a couple of new monsters in each. They're all in Orcus' Section 15.

In retrospect I should have been more selective for the main Orcus books because the Section 15 is quite unwieldy because it's so long.

Hi folks, I'm excited to share the release version of the Orcus Heroes' Handbook!

Download the Orcus Heroes' Handbook PDF or buy a print copy on Lulu.

Buy a print copy at your own risk -- I haven't (yet) ordered this version of the book from Lulu, so it's possible there's errors in there that I haven't picked up from the PDF version.

I'm also making the pre-release version of the Orcus Game Master's Guide PDF available. You can even buy a print copy on Lulu, but note the book will change before being finalised for a proper "release".

Thanks all for your interest! The SRD is available on Github Pages as always.
