bluesguy Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Re: Changes at Hero This is unfortunate. But not too surprising considering the economy, the publishing industry in general and gaming industry in particular. Good luck to Darren and Steve. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. I will continue to support the product line - just bought some more PDF versions of the game system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susano Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Re: Changes at Hero Let me say that I wish the best of luck to Steve, Darren, Jason, and the rest of the people who have worked with and for Hero. I hope to meet you all at GenCon 2012 and share a beer or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashton2 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Re: Changes at Hero This is so sad. I have continued to support Herogames due to Steve and all the fun he supplied me over the years. I wish the best for him and Darren.

Balabanto Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Re: Changes at Hero I support the system no matter who's in charge, but this is a great blow to the company and a tough knock in the face in general. I'm going to miss those guys, even though we sometimes disagreed, as people do. Good luck to them. May they find great things whereever they go. In other words "Holy !@#$$!!!, I'm stunned for INT!" What do we do now? Well, like a phoenix, Hero shall rise, that's what we do now. As players, we continue to play. As gamers and gamemasters, we continue to game. As a talented freelancer, I continue to write. King of the Mountain should be available at DunDraCon. Will it be my last Hero System product? I sure hope not. It's not about getting knocked down, true believers. It's about getting back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folded Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Re: Changes at Hero Best karma to Darren, Steve, Jason and DoJ/Hero in general. You have all done amazing work over the years, and I look forward to see what you will all be doing in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey88 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Re: Changes at Hero Wow. I'm not really sure where to begin. It saddens me immensely to know that Darren and Steve will be leaving (or at least not nearly as involved with the company) - you two have done so much to bring us quality ideas for so long (and been friendlier and more helpful than anyone could have hoped for in the process), I can't even begin to thank you. I think I speak for everyone here when I wish Steve, Darren, Jason, Tina, and anyone else with Hero Games all the best, and hope for a bright future both for them and the company. We love you guys!

Thanee Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Re: Changes at Hero Sad news, indeed. My best wishes for the future of the HERO crew and those who have been working so hard for so many years now to provide us with endless hours of fun.

Steve Long Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Re: Changes at Hero Thanx for the kind words, folx! I really appreciate 'em. But have no fear, you probably haven't heard the last of us. Check out the thread on this topic over in the Company Questions forum for more info -- I figure it's best to keep it all in one place rather than copying it over here.

garadan Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Re: Changes at Hero Absolutely gutted, I have been doing some Gaming with the Mongoose staff in the UK and trying (very busy work life and family) to get a herogames session started there, as I believe it is one of the best RPG's on the market. Trouble is we need to inject a lot more people into the hobby to create a vaible market All the best for the future guys and thank you for many many hours of truly enjoyable gaming (fan & customer, since Champions 2nd edition). Every edition has just made the game better and I know this has been more of a vocation than a career for you both.

shuddemell Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Re: Changes at Hero What more is left to be said? I prefer to believe this is a transition rather than an ending... though it does put me in mind of something Asimov once said.... Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome. In any case, all the best to the folks leaving and those still at Hero. You have all done an amazing job keeping us all entertained.
