HERO Games Website

One of the nicer, easier to navigate sites in the industry. The company is extremely responsive, down to and including a rules posting thread that only the Line Developer Steve Long can respond to. Those responses are then compiled into FAQs for future reference. The forums are also very noob friendly, so if you are just getting into Hero, that is a great place to start.

HERODesigner

The character design tool for Hero System. Nearly every book has a prefab you can buy which includes all the characters, equipment, powers, and so on from the books. Most useful are the villains books, and the bestiaries. It’s really nice to take a base creature and then build off that to make whatever kind of monster you need.

Additionally, we highly recommend the links and tools listed below.
