  BLOOD OF HEROES Special Edition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
A new addition to Blood of Heroes Special Edition is the option of gaining another additional 5 Hero Points for creating Personal Data for your Character.
This covers what sort of activities you gain Hero Points for, what can cause you to forfeit Hero Points for an adventure (for example a Hero who initiates Killing Combat) and how to spend your Hero Points on improving your character after the adventure is over.
One of the things that impressed me about the original DC Heroes game, which is carried over into The Blood of Heroes RPG was how they dealt with the Batman problem.

 IMDb user comments for The Blood of Heroes (1989)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
In `Blood of Heroes', though, these survivors at least have some form of entertainment -- a sport calling `Jugging', which can best be described as a cross between football, lacrosse, and a gladiator death match, serves as popular entertainment.
Essentially, `The Blood of Heroes' is a cross between a sports film and `The Road Warrior', but that's okay, since it manages to lift the best elements from its source and blends them into something fun, if not necessarily original.
The title changes to "Blood of Heroes", and the message of "Salute" that there *are* no heroes, only winners who sleep in silk sheets, is diluted by ending prematurely on a victory high.

 Amazon.co.uk: Laws of the Blood #5: Heroes (Laws of the Blood (Paperback)): Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Heroes, the fifth book in the series, begins to blend what has come before into a new concoction full of future possibilities.
These Laws of the Blood have existed for many centuries, and more and more of the new generation of vampires oppose them - this increasing dissatisfaction with the old ways is basically the central theme in the books of this series.
We see char and her companion- who she doesnt share blood with- enter Las Vegas, although they are drawn to the pretty lights they have to stay focused on trying to find the missing "angel".

 Remember The Blood Of Heroes
I made 'Blood of Heroes' to remind people that everything we enjoy in America today is the result of someone's sacrifice, that it is constantly threatened - and that it is still worth fighting for.
With all the invective about "blood for oil", we are not only justified in going to war - we were obligated to do it - and to do it in every place on this earth that ever poses a threat to the American way of life.
Look up and thank God that you live free in a nation that is blessed by Him and defended by heroes.

 BLOOD OF HEROES   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The Blood of Heroes Role-Playing Game, written by Tony Oliveira and Ray Hedman and published by Pulsar Games, Inc, has licensed Mayfair's "Exponential Game System" aka "DC Heroes" and come out with a 352 page softcover book with the complete game system and a roster of characters created for the Blood of Heroes Universe.
This is quite handy for those who are familiar with DC Heroes and gives a good jump start into the game.
I think they knew if they seperated them, people like me would only buy the rules and not the character supplement and they are hoping to get people interested in their universe.

 Rambles: Susan Sizemore, Laws of the Blood: Heroes
The Enforcer decides when and who local vampires can hunt, metes out justice on vampires who refuse to obey the Laws, takes care of any strigoi (lone vampires) that happen onto his/her territory, etc. Enforcers not only can destroy vampires, they draw their strength from the ingested hearts of those they kill.
These Laws of the Blood have existed for many centuries, and more and more of the new generation of vampires oppose them -- this increasing dissatisfaction with the old ways is basically the central theme in the books of this series.
As the plot develops, the very existence of Nighthawks is challenged, and we learn that there is much, much more that Sizemore has to teach us about these main players in her thrilling novels.

 The Blood of Heroes by Matthew Perenchio Detailed Book Review
The fantasy-adventure novel The Blood of Heroes is a quality fit for anyone who enjoys getting lost in a book and identifying with its characters.
Despite the unnatural events that unfold, the reader is allowed to grow with the maturing, rational Nick as he toils with the thought of a predetermined destiny and questions the unexplained and evil he encounters.
The Blood of Heroes not only encompasses fate, love, and friendship, but the tale also includes a riddle embedded in the storyline—which does not have a typical ending.

That was Ie first step on his path as a hero, though he did not immediately realize the true nature of is destiny.
Spider-Man's heroic reputation grew quickly, and he found himself facing a bewildering array of super-villains: the Tinkerer, Doctor Octopus, the Sandman, Doctor Doom, the Lizard, Electro, the Enforcers, Mysterio, the Green Goblin and Kraven the Hunter.

 The Blood of Heroes (1989)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Nowhere in the pithy script is there the usual heavy-handed sci-fi references to the nuclear war (or whatever) that reduced human-kind back to feudal barbarism.
We are presented with the world of the juggers as-is, without a single "as you know, our society collapsed after the great firestorm in the sky" speech or a hint that the heroes of the title can improve mankind's sad situation as anything other than gladiatorial entertainers.

 roleplaying tips for roleplayers and gamemaster roleplaying advice for all roleplaying systems and rpgs
Blood is an important part of any horror setting.
You can go with the "a little blood can go a long way" philosophy, as in the classic movie Psycho, where the actress's death is shown by blood going down the drain.
Or, you can go with the "blood, blood everywhere" philosophy, where blood is used as decoration, as is well demonstrated in the Silent Hill and Resident Evil video games (as well as in many others) where lots of blood, along with creepy music, can definitely set a mood.

 ‘The Blood of Heroes’ (R)
‘The Blood of Heroes’ (R) By Richard Harrington
"The Blood of Heroes" is a multimillion-dollar movie with about as much plot and depth as your average arcade game, but it's never quite as involving.
Set in a ravaged post-apocalypse landscape where gnarled survivors of The Cruel Wars inhabit desolate shantytowns, the film posits a dulled society whose only entertainment is jugging, an odd cross between rugby, wrestling, jousting and gladiating.

 Cold Fusion Video Reviews: Blood of Heroes
Standard practice, as with sports heroes of all eras, is to sow some wild oats with the willing locals in each town.
Despite that, The Blood of Heroes is certainly one of the more seriously-made post-apocalyptic adventures of the '80's, i.e., crafted by people who honestly wanted to make a good movie instead of simply cash in on a trend.
The positives of those other movies are on display here, albeit in an imperfect form, and explain why this movie still deserves the space it takes up at the rental store.
