It is a great pleasure to announce that HeroQuest is about to undergo a major update, both in terms of content and purpose. Robin D. Laws (of Feng Shui, Dying Earth, Over the Edge and of course HeroQuest fame) is back on board to rewrite the HeroQuest Core Rulebook, due to hit store shelves in the Summer of 2007. This new edition has two main purposes: to streamline the HeroQuest mechanics AND make the HeroQuest system ready to use for any roleplaying setting.
As the original designer of the HeroQuest rules, Robin is the perfect person to open the system up to science-fiction, historical, horror, and fantasy-based settings. He will be distilling the current rulebook down to just the rules, refining them, and adding in copious examples of using them for a variety of roleplaying genres, which we call QuestWorlds. All of the Gloranthan material the rulebook used to contain will find a new updated home in separate HeroQuest supplements. It will become our flagship QuestWorld, but now joined by many others.
Havia muita gente que comentava como o sistema de Heroquest era perfeito como um sistema narrativista genérico. Bem, essas pessoas têm todos os motivos para estar contentes. Pessoalmente tenho dúvidas sobre a necessidade de mais um sistema genérico, mas desde que a Moon Design tenha capacidade de produzir suplementos suficientemente bons para darem popularidade ao sistema...
