The HeroWars/HeroQuest (1st Edition) Collection
Although these books are now out of print, Moon Design provides pdfs available for download for a number of Hero Wars and 1st Edition HeroQuest books.
Imperial Lunar Handbook Volume 1
Imperial Lunar Handbook is the essential guide to the vast Lunar Empire. Mighty and magical, decadent and dynamic, conquering and liberating, the Empire is rich and complex, a land of heroes, soldiers, and missionaries. It is a fusion of many disparate regions, each with its own beliefs, customs, and magic. Over all, the Red Moon guides and the Son of the Goddess rules.
Volume 1 provides an overview of the Lunar Empire and the religion of the Red Goddess that holds it together. It contains character generation for all of the major Homelands of the Empire, as well as maps and details of two sample organizations, the Seeburn Association and Immanent Action Liberation. Future volumes will concentrate on the most important regions within the Empire, beginning with the Lunar Religion, and later including Dara Happa, Rinliddi, and Carmania.

Masters of Luck and Death
This book takes the hero band rules from HeroQuest (1st Edition) and puts them into practice. Each of the twenty-seven hero bands has a purpose for being in the Dragon Pass area, where the Hero Wars will start. Most are drawn from one of the homelands featured in HeroQuest (1st Edition), thus allowing new players an immediate home for their heroes. Five additional sections give tips about how to play in a campaign oriented around a certain type of hero: fighters, healers, scholars, wanderers and adventurers (merchants, entertainers, etc.), and magicians.
This book has something for everyone: Donandar entertainers, draconic scholars, feuding healers, Imperial magicians, Geo’s Inn, and the Slayers of Harrek. Old fans will recognize bands such as the Comet Seers, Sword Brothers, and the Temple of the Wooden Sword, old favorites given new life in this book. Old and new fans alike will enjoy the new information presented here on Dragon Pass, Glorantha, and their inhabitants.
