L5R and hero lab?

[SAbel]

Is there any thought to Hero Lab being able to create L5R 3rd ed d 10 system rules characters?

AEG has given us a verbal OK at this point, but we haven't nailed down any of the details yet. We'll likely be doing that at the big tradeshow in April, where we'll hopefully be able to sit down with AEG and work those details through.

This and the M&M green ronin product will make me buy HL.
Thanks for letting me know

That's great. Would there be any chance that 7th Sea being added on as well?

7th Sea is very UNlikely for us to do on a licensed basis. As the game is no longer being actively developed by AEG, it's not something that they would want us to invest a lot of time and effort into.

Games like 7th Sea are exactly what the release of the Authoring Kit will be targeting. A few players who are technically minded and love 7th Sea will likely take it upon themselves to create data files for that game using the Authoring Kit. Once they create the data files, then they can share them with other users via the integrated Updates mechanism within HL. Lots of OOP games will likely have data files developed via the Kit. This is what happened for our Army Builder and Card Vault products when we released their respective Authoring Kits, and we expect to recur for HL.

The ability to make 7th Sea will be good enough. Thanks.

We received a verbal thumbs up from AEG awhile back, but nothing more definitive has been resolved regarding L5R yet. We expect to be talking with AEG in more detail about L5R over the summer.

By any chance at Origins, did AEG have the people there that could help get this project under way? Will the Data editor allow the adding of the system until it can be offially released?

AEG was not present at Origins this year, so we did not have the chance to discuss anything further with them. Once we release the Authoring Kit, you can definitely create data files for L5R yourself - or virtually any other game you might want.
