I believe I was the first person to talk about Fantasy Hero here, so
I'll put in another plug.  I think Fantasy Hero is a very well-designed
game, well-integrated with the other Hero Games and not prone to many of
the weaknesses seen in D&D and AD&D.  If nothing else, it has benefited
from Hero Games' experience in other genres and the years of experience
RPG players have had with other fantasy games.

NOW IF ONLY HERO GAMES WOULD GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER!!!!!!!  The game may
be wonderful, but the paste-up of the Fantasy Hero book is abominable.
Absolutely no one proofread this sucker.  Every other page has some annoying
slip-up on it somewhere.  Since I am very familiar with other Hero Games
products, these didn't interfere with playing the game at all, but they
did keep me in a state of aggravation while reading.

If anyone did have problems with understanding the rules, mail me or
send questions to the net.  I will also give another review of the game
if enough people ask...
