Ther is a URL for "Hero Games" the publisher but I dont think youl lfind
much there. If you have a good RPG game store that doenst mind browsing, go
down and look for a section for hero games (last published by Iron Crowne I
believe) and look through it.

The Hero System is a gernic system that a numerb fo agmes are then buitl on
top of. The most common and easiest oen to find is Champios, and the hero
rules are incodued  in that.  Otherwise theuya re availabel as aseperate
book.  if tyou can fidn it yo umigth want to glance at Fantasy Hero which
is the Fantasy RPG world book that gives an exampel of how to build a
fantasy game usign teh core system.
