Yep!
I finally have news. The text of the 2nd edition H&H basic book is finally complete! It's 78,000+ words long. The first 95 pages are completely formatted, with artwork. Just a little more to go...

Done! How long have you been waiting to combine golden age comic book gaming with old school game rules? Okay, since 1st edition? Well, wait no longer -- because HIDEOUTS & HOODLUMS Second Edition is here! What is H&H 2nd ed.? Well, it's still a d20 game, so it's class- and level-based. It lets you play superheroes, but it's not just a superhero game -- you can play fighters, magic-users, and mysterymen too. The game emphasizes exploration (of hideouts) and character interaction almost as much as combat (vs. hoodlums and other cool stuff). Why emulate the Golden Age of Comic Books? And so specifically the pre-war years? Comic books were pretty gonzo crazy back then. You could have a dope ring-busting G-Man, a funny animal character, and a planet-hopping galactic explorer all in the same anthology comic book -- back to back! It's that anything-is-possible feel I most wanted to emulate in H&H. Adventures also tended to be short and for small groups of heroes in the Golden Age -- perfect for the time-strapped small group of friends who want to get together to game on weekday evenings. What's different about H&H in 2nd edition? There are skills now. There are new mobster and trophy types. There is a sample metropolis to use as a home base -- plus lots of tweaking in between. Why is this a "basic" book? This is everything you need to get your heroes from levels 1 up to level 6. That should keep you busy for awhile. Past level 6, you can look back to 1st edition, or wait for the Advanced Hideouts & Hoodlums books coming out in the future! The ebook version is now for sale at www.drivethrurpg.com/product/218867/Hideouts--Hoodlums-Basic-2nd-edition |

"Soon." The print version should be available first through Amazon Createspace, possibly in a week.
The tricky thing with DriveThruRPG is that I do not get how to make covers for them. I'm thinking I'll have to order a review copy from Createspace, see how they did it, and hopefully be able to reverse engineer how they did it and build a cover following DriveThru's template. So the print version from them will be even later.

Now that 2nd edition is out, I had to decide what to do with 1st edition. I don't want to take the 1st ed. rulebooks completely off the market. Since they are an inferior product to 2nd edition, I do want to discourage purchase of them now. So, starting tomorrow night, I'm going to increase the price of the 1st ed. core rulebooks to $3.99 for the ebook version and $10.99 for the POD version ($11.99 for the thicker Book III). If you don't already have the books, this could be your last chance to get them cheap!

Hey, my proof copy is here! Unfortunately, I can see three changes I want to make in it before it goes live for everyone, so you'll have to wait a little longer.
Tonight or tomorrow, though, I was planning to make a video where I thumb through the proof copy so people can see it, and then post it to the Facebook group.
