  2. Oh I missed this updated somehow. Is Hero Kids - Heroes I coming in colour? That's the only one I can't see on drivethru.

    1. Hey Ryan, the core heroes are included in the core rules PDF. The B&W versions are now in a separate PDF.

    2. Cool, I was clearly just getting too enthusiastic as I haven't read to the end of the core rules yet. I see them now, thanks!

  3. I know you can colour them any shade, but are there any official black-looking Hero Kids hero cards? I was looking for one with afro-style hair for my nephew.

    1. How did I miss that thread!

      For the Hero Kids artwork in full color, I went for middle-spectrum skin tone for most characters, with a few paler-skinned characters and a few darker-skinned characters.

      For characters that are specifically black, there are a range at the moment:
      • Female swashbuckler from Heroes II
      • Male healer from Heroes II
      • Wolfchild from Heroes II
      • Nadic Warrior from Space Heroes
      • Nadic Healer from Space Heroes

      And there are a bunch of characters with skin color that is darker than the middle value I chose.

      Also, I have an upcoming set that might be more up your alley with two modern black kids:

      Let me know if this is what you're looking for! And if you need, I can fast-track the next batch of modern heroes.

  5. Oh my gosh. These are fantastic! I just recently purchased the German bundle PDF and my kids just love the game. I started to color the pdf's but came across your blog and, my god, are these beautiful. I see one can buy the english, colored version on drivethrough, but I also read sth about "public domain" in the latest answer here.
    Is there any way to get access to the colored maps / characters / monsters? I own the game already but would love to print out the colored version. This is so much more immersive!
    Thanks for your help.
    Best
    Dario
