[Hellfrost] Land of Fire: Heroes & Villains Contents

Hi folks,

I'm starting to plan out Heroes & Villains 3: Citizens of Al-Shirkuh for either late this year or early next (yes, we work ahead at TAG).

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you backed the Kickstarter project at a level where you will receive a unique character, then your character will NOT be included in this work -- those rewards are just for you. The characters for H&V3 are generic ones that will go into a supplement. They're designed for GMs to use as NPCs in their game and as convention and one-shot game characters -- they won't have the totally unique (but totally game legal) special ability your Kickstarter character possesses.
