My Story
Hey, I'm Jimmy — the one-man-band behind Hero: Tales of the Tomes. I've been working on this game for the past 12 years, and nothing makes me more excited than sharing it with you.
It all started back in 2013...a simpler time. Originally Hero was a much smaller concept as my senior thesis in college, and it was thanks to a very good professor that I got started on this journey. I knew I loved the card battle gameplay that I grew up with playing Magic, but was currently obsessing over the hero-style match ups in Dota. Could I mix these two loves into something new?
Post graduation my siblings and I played the game endlessly, and each game made me want to add more — to take this game to what I knew it could be. So I got to work. Testing ideas and playtesting the game with as many people as I could over the next 5 years. In 2018 we successfully launched on Kickstarter and I've been going to conventions to spread the good word of Hero to fans around the country since. In between conventions I've never stopped coming up with new ideas for cards, heroes, and game modes.
If you've made it this far, I just wanted to say thank you for joining me. Whether you're a newcomer, or you've been here since the beginning, the fans of Hero have made all of this worth it. I look forward to one day playing a game with you.
