Important Highlights

TV - Tales of the Valiant by Kobold Press is now available in HLO! Unlock the alpha version now to begin your adventures in the system ahead of the full release (expected in May), and preorder at a discounted rate to hit the ground running! 

Additional Information

As an alpha version of the game system, albeit one that will be familiar to many, rules and content are subject to change between now and full release. Additionally, select tools and features are still being developed within HLO, and will be added over the coming months. Items of note include:

• Die rolls for abilities and spells will be added in a future release.
• The Ritualist talent will have its functionality added in a future release.
• The NPCs (following the Creatures section) will be added in a future release.
• Character sheet output will be supported in a future release.
• We are aware that custom content is a popular thing in the system, so we are developing methods to allow for more types of custom items to be created and in a more robust manner than is currently available.
