NEW: Which games should Hero Lab support? (N-Z)

[Spikey]

That sound slike a good idea. I don't play Exalted either but have heard that the systems are similar. I guess if you focussed on the ability to track all the interrelated aspects of Scion (and from what I hear, Exalted) a Scion license for HeroLab would be a reasonable bet at being popular (and thus hopefully making Wolf lair a few spondooliks). Scion players seem to learn to accept that you will forget to add or subtract modifiers for rolls at least some of the time (much more often than in any of the other games I've played in the last 25 years) simply because of the way the game works. Character creation isn't exactly smooth sailing either, a little computerised 'keeping track' would make that a more satisfying event.

I know it is technically a dead system now but no Star Wars Saga? That's one my friends and I are playing right now.

Star Wars Saga has been brought up before. My understanding is that the license fees from Lucasarts would be prohibitive.

I would do the work for this myself if I could figure out how to get to the editing tools. :-)

The Authoring Kit is a game system available for purchase as seen with the rest. I will warn you that at one point I asked Rob if anyone had ever released a completed game system as a fan and he couldn't think of any cases. It's a pretty intensive effort, and most people fizzle out after doing the basics.

Its not like I dont have an ulterior motive involved as well, as the author/publisher of Gaslight Victorian Fantasy I want HL to support that (both the OGL and the SW versions), so I am interested in learning it as more than a fan. Also as far as d20Modern is concerned, I am the content developer for Amarillo Design Bureau's Prime Directive PD20M, so again my development would be for non altruistic reasons. I know that for me this will take awhile, since I wont be devoting 100% of my time to it, I have a company to run and stuff to write, along with my personal life.

You can play around with the Authoring Kit in demo mode. The only restrictions on the Kit are the same as for any other game system - no printing or saving of portfolios. That means you can fully utilize the Kit for creating your own game system until you reach the point where saving/printing portfolios becomes important. That's not until a good bit into the development process.

It seems I already own the authoring kit, seems I purchased it in a 4e/Savage Worlds/Authoring Kit module. I bought it so long ago that I had forgotten.

I was working on my Starblazer Adventures campaign and was wondering if anyone has worked on a data set or if LW had considered making a Starblazer Adventures/Legends of Anglerre/Spirit of the Century/FATE data set for HeroLab?

I just mentioned that, oddly enough, in the other thread (last I heard FATE began with the letter F).

Did anything ever happen with the proposed RuneQuest license? Somehow I don't think it'll ever happen now.
