earlrk Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm a late joiner to the MHI forums as I have just finished reading the books and just recently learned about the game. I've been to the local gaming shop and they do not have the core 6th edition books. Do I need to purchase them to play the game and if so, where may I find them?

Steve Long Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 No, you don't need to buy them. The MHI RPG contains the complete "Basic" version of the HERO System rules, with expansions/additions to cover important aspects of the MHI setting (like gun combat). If at some point you want to expand your knowledge of the HERO System and do more with it, then you can buy the full rulebook. But for the time being you can hold off.

earlrk Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Thank you for your reply. I've been having a dickens of a time finding the hardback versions (I'm old and old-fashioned that way when it comes to game books). Are they going to be re-printed any time in the near future?

Steve Long Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I can't speak for the company, but I expect that's unlikely. Hardcover color books of that size are so enormously expensive to reprint that it would take years to earn back the money. However, there are still some hard copies of both 6E1 and 6E2 available directly from Hero Games in the Online Store, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlrk Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Steve, thanks! I did get the hardcovers from the store. I'm digging in now in the hopes of being ready to run when the MHI book/pdfs become available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
