NEW: Which games should Hero Lab support? (A-M)

[Colen]

Since Hero Lab was released, we've added support for a number of much-requested games. Now it's time for another poll - which game do you think should be added next?

The poll here lists 10 games, whose names begin A-M, that you can vote for. Please vote for all the games you would like to use Hero Lab with - if you want to vote for more than one, vote for as many as you want!

Games with names beginning N-Z can be found here:

Please check this list as well, and vote for the games you'd like to see!

Would Spycraft or FantasyCraft be worthwhile additions? I didn't see either on the list.

There were a number of games we overlooked in the lists. These two are perfect examples. <sigh>

+1 for Crafty Games!

I'd love to see support for the new Star Wars RPG line from Fantasy Flight Games: Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion, and Force and Destiny.

This system is one of the most popular games going at the moment.

I wish it was more popular in my area. A few people bought EotE and did enjoy the beginner game, but then it kind of faded away. The Age of Rebellion is still being talked about, but not EotE. Except to comment on what they liked about the rules. Personally I think it is because they went with the outlaw theme first which is the staple of 99% of the settings out there and may be losing its appeal. If you have been playing some version of a bounty hunter for the last decade it can get old.

I would LOVE to see FFG supported by the time AoR releases. I have some ideas for a campaign. Every time I mention the concept I have gotten great feedback and people who want to play it now....

I actually wouldn't mind seeing either some Eclipse Phase support, or renewed support for World of Darkness/The God Machine Chronicles.

Dark Heresy wouldn't be bad, but there are already a ton of character generators for it out there. Furthermore, they're pretty deep into development of Dark Heresy 2nd Edition, so a lot of things may change soon.

GURPS would be cool, but that seems like a monster to tackle.

How about some basic building set as starting point for the whole range of retro clones, perhaps even with one retro clone being ready to use?

That would be called the Authoring Kit. It's already available and provides the framework for creating data files for any game you want, including all those retro games. The Kit includes Savage Worlds as a complete example, which definitely isn't a retro game, but it's an excellent game that serves as a great example of how to do stuff. :-)

I think what is needed for the Authoring Kit, (which is great btw), is for it to be a little more user friendly as well as the editing tools for the data sets. It seems if someone (like myself) has very little programming skills, it take a lot of time just learn how to make simple edits. I really wanted to make a dataset for McWoD in HL, but had to go back to an "older software" that is very limited, but easy to edit. I Love HL and want to use it, but it's just not user friendly when it comes to editing and/or house rules.
