Hero System Rulesbook is a 1990 role-playing game supplement published by Hero Games/Iron Crown Enterprises for Hero System.

Contents

Hero System Rulesbook is the basic rulebook for the universal role-playing system which renders all Hero games compatible with each other.[1]

Publication history

Hero System Rulesbook was written by George MacDonald, Steve Peterson, and Rob Bell, with a cover by George Pérez and John Stracuzzi and was published by Hero Games/Iron Crown Enterprises in 1990 as a 224-page book.[1]

Shannon Appelcline explained that "Now GURPS (1986) was gaining steam, and the benefits of a truly universal system were becoming more obvious. Therefore, Bell unified the Hero System. With the release of Champions fourth edition (1989), the Hero System Rulesbook (1990), and Fantasy Hero (1990), there was a second (mostly) universal game system on the market."[2]: 105
