It's been a long time coming. The first publicly available version of Heroes of Feonora went online May 10, 2010. Since that time we've been plugging along quietly in the background, making small, incremental improvements to the website, exploring some of the game's Ready Made Characters, and talking to handfuls of potential artists on possible collaboration. Along the way, a couple of those folks decided to come on board to contribute to this Free/Downloadable version of the project. Lisa and I are very pleased to say that the PDF Packs now include a small set of beautifully illustrated Character Portraits to help players get started.

Previously, the Character Portraits sheet was a lonely canvas of empty frames. Now players will find that some interesting characters have begun to arrive.

Yesterday was a milestone. We've been plugging away since release day and now the main elements of the Make It page are well in place. This means that once people have downloaded the PDF pack they'll now have a place to go for some tips and ideas on how to put it all together. For those thinking about putting a set together, we suggest starting with the ReadMe text file included in the PDF Pack. From there, pay a visit to the new Make It page for some additional ideas and (perhaps) inspiration. Which brings us to the next phase of the website.

Some time in the next several days our goal is to get an initial FAQ in place, followed by a small Support page, where we can interact a little better and respond to questions or matters that haven't been covered elsewhere.

A little further down the road we'll be posting another small addition to the website, that will offer a glimpse into the past...

It's been wonderful finally being able to share this project with others and hopefully, as the website continues to grow, more still in the days & weeks to come.

It's been a long and arduous journey, but after sweeping out a few lingering Scribbles and contending with a wayward Band of Brigands, we've managed to push out the first public release. We'd like to welcome those of you who are new to the game and say that for those willing to give it a try, many adventures await.

The imaginary world of Feonora is a magical place that taps into the imagination, rewards creativity and reminds us all that working together can be just as enjoyable as competing for the Win.

Over the coming months we'll be using this blog to talk about different characteristics of the game, make the occasional announcement and keep readers up-to-date on the latest progress.

Heroes of Feonora has been designed from day one as an RPG Adventure for the Whole Family. But that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of competitive strategy built in. Give it a try and let us know what you think. We'd especially like to know how some of the younger players are faring. Of course we also understand it will take some time to get those first sets put together, so the focus in the coming weeks for all of us is going to be ~ Making the Game.
