Press Release 4/26/2006
« on: May 05, 2006, 12:22:46 AM »
   Experience New Adventure in a Fantasy World for HERO System 5th Edition

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Salt Lake City, Utah, April 26th, 2006


Today Final Redoubt Press announced a new license for their highly-anticipated game world, The Echoes of Heaven. Enter the Mortal Realm, a fallen world sundered from Heaven and Hell alike in the final days of the great War in Heaven. Here, brooding churches and honest peasants struggle to stay alive in a world that has spiraled beyond anyone?s control. The Mortal Realm is sick, cut off from the light of Heaven, and even the earth festers under the influence of infernal Ulcers--pockets of Hell which impose themselves on reality.  They are a dangerous force of evil in an already teetering world.

The world needs heroes. Will you answer the call?

The Echoes of Heaven is an e-product scheduled for release second quarter 2006. Within, GMs and players alike will explore a gritty and fascinating world that stands in the shadow of its own past--a world that languishes in the absence of the light of truth. The first product, including The Echoes of Heaven Campaign Setting and the introductory adventure The Throne of God, will give Game Masters everything they need to adventure in the Mortal Realm. It also launches a grand campaign in the vein of Warhammer FRP?s The Enemy Within, Shadow World?s Grand Campaign, and the classic Dragonlance series. Here, players can take their first steps on a journey of intrigue and adventure that will carry them well into the highest levels of play.

?We?re very happy to sign the license with HERO Games,? said Robert J Defendi, writer and publisher. ?We started this with HERO and we would love to bring our experiences to HERO gamers around the world.?

?HERO System is one of the most versatile games in the world,? Scott Llewelyn, series editor, said earlier this week. ?The players are loyal but many of them are too busy to create their own worlds.  We want to produce plenty of good material for their Fantasy Hero games.?

The Echoes of Heaven will be a multi-statted world. Gamers will be able to download products statted for HERO System, HARP, Rolemaster, or d20.  They will be sold separately or in reasonably priced bundles. Sourcebook and adventure bundles are scheduled for every one to two months after the first release.
