Publication history
Shannon Appelcline noted by the early 1990s Hero Games began publishing sourcebooks which could be used with any genre in the Hero System, and "These included a second Hero Bestiary (1992), a couple of almanacs (1993, 1995) and the first two books in a line conceived of by Steve Peterson and initially authored by Steven S. Long: The Ultimate Martial Artist (1994) and The Ultimate Mentalist (1996)."[2]: 150 Appelcline also noted that the company was having production difficulties starting in the late 1990s, and that the fifth edition of Hero System "was finished by Steven Long in July 1999 and turned in to Hero rather than Gold Rush because of the changing dynamics of the companies. Unfortunately this was just one of a few publications that failed to materialise in print, including a second edition of Champions: New Millennium and a second edition of The Ultimate Martial Artist".[2]: 151
