Hope the spring finds you well.
We are still working on art for the project, with the good news that Jacob Blackmon is joining us to help get the art done.
As you know, the book is laid-out, we are now catching errors, typos, etc... Slow going but moving along.
TJ Frias is still doing more and more backer art (See attached), and is really killing it!
With that said make sure you respond to Shane's emails for any adjustments, so we can move to finals, and if you haven't seen yours yet, don't worry, we're working through them all!
That's it for this month, hope to have some Jacob art to show next month, as well as a coloured final cover (by Tony!)
Until then, I am forever grateful for your patience with this project and promise it will be worth the wait.
BE HEROIC!

We are getting 40mm/1.5" of ice from heave today, so I don't know if I'll be online soon enough.
So that said, despite us having no new news for updates (the rules are done and waiting on the intro adventure still), here's an update on Tony's cover!
More to come soon!
Here's our first update of 2026.
Good news! The Layouts are done for everything except the adventures, which hopefully will be done soon. You will see the finalized layout attached below.
The art is still not done, I am still soliciting piece by piece as I can.
I know this is a long road to wait, but at least the game can be played right now, cold comfort I am sure.
For those getting custom art, please look for Shane's emails, as waiting for your approvals delays us getting more done, which slows down a lot of stuff as well.
Lastly, we have the Mighty Turtle STL attached thanks to Jason, who stepped in to get the piece done for everyone! Thank you so much Captain Saturn!
More news next month!
BE HEROIC!
Well here we are hurtling towards the end of 2025, and I won't lie it's been a rough rough year. With no hyperbole, there were moments I wasn't sure I'd see Christmas this year.
But I did!
I want to thank you all for your ongoing patience with this project, I know it's taking longer than planned, but it is still moving along step-by-step. We will get there.
Attached is the latest layout update for you all (still using mostly place holder art), as the artists on the team are continuing to work at the pace they can for what they are giving of their time and heavily reduced rates.
I hope we'll see a boost of income in the new year with Valorous 5e Edition coming and Final Age, alongside Valorous Barebones Edition, are designed to create money to pay for the completion of HEROIC, so if you are wondering how you can help the process, get your friends out to join in by buying the other products, literally ever dollar helps!
Okay enough ringing the bell on a street corner.
I wish you and your families and friends nothing but happiness as we put this dog of a year to bed and the highest hopes for 2026!

Project Update: Whoops!
Project Update: EARLY MAY UPDATE - SUPRISE!
Who would like to see v6 of the HEROIC layouts?
I know I would!

I have been VERY behind on this project and see that a v6 PDF draft was just sent to backers. I assume this means this hasn't shipped any physical items, correct? I backed this at the Superhero print + PDF level and haven't received anything yet. This V6 draft is all I've ever been able to get from this campaign.

Just checking in to see whether Shane is still waiting on any of us to respond to his emails about backer art. I’m not aware of anything I still need to reply to, but with email being what it is, it’s possible something slipped past me. Shane, are any of us currently holding you up on approvals?
