Publication history.
In 1981, Hero Games published the superhero role-playing game (RPG) "Champions". By 1986, Hero Games was in financial difficulty, and entered into an agreement with Iron Crown Enterprises (I.C.E.) to help with printing and production. The following year I.C.E. also took over editorial control of all Hero Game products, and produced a 4th edition of the "Hero System" rules. During this period, I.C.E. licensed Gold Rush Games (GRG) to produce adventures for "Champions". GRG's first product was "Heroic Adventures Volume 1", a 96-page softcover book with cover art by Storn Cook.
In the 2014 book "Designers & Dragons: The '80s", game historian Shannon Appelcline explained that Hero Games "licensed Mark Arsenault's Gold Rush Games to produce fourth edition "Hero" books. By the time of the Fuzion announcement GRG already had their first book out, "Heroic Adventures 1" (1996). Two days later, on July 21, 1996, GRG also announced that they had purchased all the old Hero stock from ICE."
GRG also published a sequel, "Heroic Adventures, Volume 2", in 1996.
Reception.
In the August 1996 edition of "Dragon" (Issue #232), Rick Swan thought the artwork was "hit or miss", and that "a few of the encounters are underdeveloped", but enjoyed the off-beat tone, saying that it "combines the excesses of Image Comics with the goofiness of "Mad Magazine"."
