New Vision Publishing Releases Heroic Visions of Superhero

The first book from New Vision Publishing, Heroic Visions, has been released in conjunction with Lulu, the world`s fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand books. Heroic Visions is an adventure game focusing on Super hero Role Playing. It reflects the comic book styles of the 60`s and 70`s - when heroes fought for truth and justice and strove to be examples for everyone. This contrasts greatly with today`s `anti-hero` characters found in comics.

At it`s core, Heroic Visions rewards characters for subduing their enemies, avoiding unnecessary violence, heroic bravery and accurately portraying their hero`s personality traits. Heroic Visions is a role playing game that can be played by ages from 10 to 102.

`I wrote Heroic Visions in response to the growing shadow falling on both the comic book and role-playing industries,` said William Council. `Sex and graphic violence have taken both industries into a strangle hold. Most of the games on the market are not something that the entire family can set down and play together. My love for role-playing games has oftentimes conflicted with my moral beliefs.` Heroic Visions was born out of this dynamic tension. It is a role-playing game where the players get points for thinking and capturing their foes instead of the `kill factor` that is found in so many other role-playing games.
