if you mean sharing content with your players at Organized Play events (with both you and your wife GMing different tables simultaneously) then yes, you'd both need full accounts. but i'm not sure what you mean by "we’ll get no additional benefit from it"-- isn't the ability to share your purchased content with whoever shows up to your tables a benefit? or am i misunderstanding you? |

LW on the other hand doesn't sell Pathfinder/Starfinder/Shadowrun books, so they have to make a profit on the HeroLab software itself. plus, LW has to pay Paizo and Catalyst for the rights to use their published content. that's why the comparison to D&D Beyond doesn't really work-- from a business standpoint it's a totally different situation. |
I have some questions
|
The one thing I really don't understand here is why Apprentice has a 4-month term instead of the same 6/12 month term as the others. Charging $7.50 for 6 months or $3.75 for 3 months would work out to the same overall price and get rid of the "huh?" reaction that I and no doubt others had from it.

So, if you got Standard for $X and then get Patron for $Y, on the second transaction you're actually only paying $(Y – X) (with whatever tiny adjustment for the number of days it's been, pro-rated). I think they should put some kind of disclaimer on that page to make this clearer, like "Your current service will apply as credit on the shopping cart page" in yellow text. |

Your entire campaign can consist of Apprentice level players. Campaigns are currently capped at 12 total members, including the GM, so you could have up to 11 players at Apprentice level. Within a campaign that has content sharing enabled, your players CAN create characters that take full advantage of all the content the GM owns. They can also fully evolve those characters over time as they level up. If you already have characters created for your players, you can first convert them to GM-controlled characters and then assign control of those characters to the appropriate players. All characters within a campaign should be viewable by the GM, regardless of whether they are player-owned or campaign-owned to leverage content sharing. Hope this helps! |

I'm looking at my HLO license online and it says it expires in 2038 is that correct?

Before this turns into a contentious subject...
Question: Why don't we allow free accounts to fully leverage content sharing the way D&D Beyond does? Answers: Those free accounts aren't truly free with D&D Beyond. They are paid for by having to deal with an abundance of ads, and those ads are paid for by the companies behind those ads. All those ads are possible due to Twitch's massive ad-focused infrastructure that's designed for exactly that purpose. We don't have that option, and I'd resist going there even if it was available, so we introduced the low-cost Apprentice level to cover the costs of supporting those accounts. It's a little more than a dollar a month, which is probably a lot less than Twitch is bringing in from all those ads. And a whole lot less annoying for users (IMHO). |

I've got a question regarding the Patron subscription. So, I have been using HLO for a while now and I really enjoy it. I own most of the content on HLO for Pathfinder 2E already, but I am not the GM for my group. If I purchase a Patron subscription to share my content with the rest of my group, is there a way to transfer GM capabilities of a campaign to someone else?

Thanks for the work on this guys! It's not yet what I really need for my games, but it's good to see the product moving in that direction. I eagerly await the rest of the developments that I hope are on the horizon (if not on the nearer parts of the horizon).

I just purchased a HLO license for Shadowrun 6E, before the new licence options were rolled out. I would like to allow my players to use the character generation features themselves. How do I do that? Do I need to upgrade to Patron and they all need Apprentice?
|
Quote:

To confirm, if I GM and upgrade to Patron, my players ONLY need an apprentice account correct? They don't have to rebuy a Core System, PSE, SR6, or Starfinder correct?

Can we get more specifics about how control of characters works related to content being shared?
Can a demo account control a Patron-kept member-controlled PC? for example... Also, is there a reason why only Apprentice accounts renew on a 4-month interval? Why can't we get apprentice for 12 months like the others? |
Also, apologies for the slight (and temporary) thread piracy - Rob, could you please attend, at least a little, to the HLC threads? I wouldn't ask here, but here is literally the ONLY place that's getting any love from LW officials and "shot callers." Specifically, I would like to know the status of the Savage Worlds Adventure Edition update and of porting HLC content for PF1 to HLO.
Thanks, and please return now to the original topic of this thread. Sorry Rob - One more thing. Please give us an update on the status of the HeroLab 64 bit version integration with RealmWorks fix. |

Now that we've got the PF2 GMG wrapping up, SWADE should get the attention is deserves. There should be some details coming soon regarding SWADE. Prior to having all the Campaign Theater stuff in place, there wasn't a compelling reason for PF1 users to migrate to the HLO space. Now that we've finally got that stuff operational, PF1 migration is a viable path. That said, we still need to flesh out some of the CT functionality first, and implementing the migration will entail a sizable chunk of work. So nothing is imminent, but the subject of PF1 migration is going to be a "hot topic" in-house in the weeks ahead. The issue with HLC 64-bit and RW got completely lost in the past many months of coding madness. And it's unlikely to get addressed for at least a couple more weeks, based on our current game plan. But I'm putting it back on my radar, and I'll do my best to investigate it in the weeks ahead. Sorry I can't be more definitive on this. |
Thanks for the updates on other 'stuff' but most especially that RW will be getting a fix for HL bug!
|
THANK YOU for that update, Rob! That's all good news.
I've reposted it in the RW, SW and HLC forums. |
I hope the official RW fix will include final fix for the export/import bug. :)

To be fair, Mathias still shows up when you invoke his name in the Authoring Kit forum.
