The Month of October is about to "Fall" on Heroes Rising

by Chaz HamiltonHello, Sentinel Readers. We've seen some excitement in September, haven't we? The Ruby Shard Hunt, or as I called it, the Quest in the Midwest. Results from the art contest with three most excellent limited-run Power Cards under the Powers tab. Anyone who is working to collect a full set of cards that the game has put out better snap them up, because I guarantee they will not last.This upcoming month will prove to be very eventful. Listening in on Dan Peyton's bi-weekly chats, he...

Alternate Art Card: Undulations

 We come to the final winner of the alternate art card. I want to say that the order in which I posted these has nothing to do with who was first or third, I didn't have that designation. Anyway, without further ado, I present the art of  Todd Goode. I decided on the name, Undulations, merely because it describes the energetic motion of the image. Todd's use of color drew my eye, I liked how the image makes one feel like he is somehow flying, and yet a fish...man...thing. Of all...

Reward Cards... Sell or Keep?

By Chris EvansIf you are active in the games’ auxiliary activities such as the fiction forum and the occasional fiction contests, the art events, and the occasional other contests and events, you have probably at some point received cards as a reward or prize.The question under consideration is whether you should keep said cards and use them in your arsenal, or should you sell them for their Morphon return value?As with so many considerations that this game leads one to deal with, the answer is...

If you are one of those new players, trying to work your way through your first dozen levels, let me share some advice with you.Take a look at the New Player bundles offered in the game for players below level 12.

Alternate Art Card: Asteroid Punch

We continue the alternate art cards with a wonderful submission by Victor Wanderley Correa. I chose to title this one Asteroid Punch for obvious reasons. What struck me about this piece was the way the artist paid attention to detail. Often when designing a power, you think of the action of the power itself, what it is going to do. Here, the artist paid some attention to the source of the power. The hero in the art is drawing up rocks with one hand while the other is throwing a previously...

Alternate Art Card: Fire Shield

Back in July we held an art contest. This time it was actually a contest in which I selected three entrees to be used as alternate art cards in the game. It was no easy task. The art was great and selecting my favorite three proved almost impossible. The first piece is from Mark Alan Bisanz, I gave it the title of Fire Shield. I liked the color balance on this one. I especially liked how he tied the background in with flames behind him. My only suggestion, never forget the shadows.My painting...

How to write a Super-Story: Part 2

By Starmaster When I last posted, I talked about defining your characters. How did that go?Once you have those questions answered, a fantastic opportunity awaits you. On your character profile tab, there is a Character Sheet that includes several places to enter said information. Why do this, you might ask? The creators of Heroes Rising commented as to that earlier in the year in a blog post included in These City Streets, the HR news source.“Do you want a cameo?” While not every character...

Powers Contest: Rainbow Legacies: The Taste of Ashes

Congratulations, Powerbottom, for placing third in the Powers Fiction Contest!The twins walked into The Club. That in itself was unusual. They usually just appeared.The Club was an uptrending dance club in New Amsterdam with a noticeable scarcity of both female patrons and shirts. A year ago, the crowd would have found that unusual, the appearing, not the walking. Let’s just say that the last year with the advent of morphons, attacks from the Legion, and the revelation that alien war refugees had...
