For non-HeroLab splats, I make pretty heavy use of the Excel sheets provided by the Camarilla: http://sheets.camarilla.ca/index.php

They're not really all that pretty to look at, but they get the job done in terms of keeping track of characters.

I think the problem is that Lone Wolf is limited by their licencing agreement with White Wolf. I think they only had the licence to release what they did and no more.

Unlike Pathfinder and Shadowrun which allows them to add all *Or most* of the additional books to Hero Labs.

I agree that unfortunately this is more of a business decision then a gaming one. It is likely that they may have licensing limitations and are either waiting for approval or negotiating for the inclusion of other systems.

On the other hand, it is also likely that they may have the licensing but demand for games like Pathfinder may present a more immediate priority. While I echo the many voices that would love to see additional systems for WoD (as I am an avid fan), I also understand the business side of things and they are going where the money is. Had this technology been available 10-15 years ago back when WoD (as Masquerade, Ascension, etc) was in its heyday, I believe that all WoD games would have priority consideration as the games were much more popular then.

Time will tell if they will continue the updates to this VERY useful tool. I can't begin to tell you how this has made my life as a player (and as the occasional GM) much simpler.

Here is what Rob had to say about the White Wolf Licence

There are currently no plans to add official support for Masquerade, although the built-in Editor can be readily leveraged to add whatever additional content is desired - even if that content is adapted from Masquerade. If someone were to add that content, I'm sure White Wolf would have no problems with fans sharing their work with each other.
