What comes next... after providing WiFi along with HLO, do we expect them to provide a smart phone or tablet?

I think it's fair to say the wifi thing is a legitimate concern, especially for big convention halls, where it's not unusual for there to be areas with no cell service at all. It's not something we can help with everywhere, but it's something we're definitely thinking about for conventions where we have an official presence providing character creation stations for Paizo.

If you're pitching a product at a gaming convention, I expect to be able to take your product for a test drive, at least on its major selling points. |

Well, to be honest, it would be a smart marketing move. You have hundreds and hundreds of people in the Paizo room at GenCon playing games almost 24hr for 4 days.
Scene 1: sitting at the table with tablet running HLO on cell phone hotspot (or just on cell phone/etc) "Whatcha got running there?" "HLO. Pretty cool, you can view all your stuff and apply modifiers like this...hold on...sorry...hold...on 3g here in this corner...one sec...here! and then you can...hold on...one minute....hold...." "So you have to be online eh? Hmm, seems to be working um...great...ya..." vs Free wifi: "Whatcha got running there?" "HLO. it's pretty sweet, you can see your feats here, and your gear here. And apply temp conditions here. Or look up that new item like this..." "Nice. I'll have to check it out! How much is it?" I mean, like, if you are going to be selling a product at a convention, SELL the product! Why would you do anything to not put you product in the very best light it can be in? edit: I'm not saying that's not their intention, in fact it does seem to be what they are looking into... -Jamz RPTools.net | MapTool Discord Invite Download Latest MapTool Release | Download Latest TokenTool Release Last edited by Jamz; January 22nd, 2018 at 10:21 AM. |

This might also be a game changer for me as well...
Hero Lab online doesn't allow me to create shadowrun characters. or 5e. Just pathfinder and starfinder. ....just pathfinder...and starfinder... I don't play either of those. And I have an incredible android tablet that I'd love to pull my characters up on. Not trying to be mean or anything. But loyalty only goes so far... when something becomes more inconvenient than it is convenient... I also have a surface.. I'd love to move HL to that, but I'm not buying a second license and I've not had success getting the second license for my surface. |

What problems have you had getting your second license to work on your surface? I've had no issues with mine. |

They have said SR6 will be HLO and are suggesting only HLO, no HLC.
