My issue is wider than that though. This thread includes a post very high up that says Starfinder will be available by the end of August. There is no other way to read that post and pre-Gen Con that had to mean in HLC. To post a clarification weeks later is very poor. Ultimately, every customer has to make a decision on whether the product is worth it when the new model is rolled out. I suspect I will decide it isn't. |

Think about the market they will be able to open up to also. Right now Hero Lab is not useful for the emerging market in the rpg industry. There are ALOT of people playing over the internet. There are people playing around a table with a few member playing from the other side of the country.
You make Hero Lab work over the network and you instantly open up the tool to that market. I suspect this move will make for quite a few new members of our community. I'm sure it will result in some leaving too. But I'd wager the positives will out weight the negatives for LWD.

If I don't know and can't find the answers, I assume the worst and act accordingly. |

I have an extra tablet and license that the one holdout can use, and he's tried it, so if I can get him to use it I'm all good in all my games. These features are obviously useless for PFS/SFS since it is a random group of people playing and not a steady group. |

If they suffer a data loss, I can keep going as if nothing happened. |

But you said you don't deal with a company that doesn't have a policy for hacking and backup, but you have Herolab, so you obviously break that rule. So it seems you trust LWD here, so there is no point in not trusting them for HLO. |

I won't be dropping money on Hero Lab online, I don't have internet access where I run my games, so its not worth the added expense. I can take my laptop and printer with me, print the necessary sheets and I'm good. If I need internet access I'd have to print everything at home and hopefully not forget to bring the printouts when I drag the books with me. Half the time my home internet doesn't work well either.
RavenX Pronouns: She/Her Please do not PM me to inquire about datafiles I coded "for personal use" such as Exalted, World of Darkness, AD&D, or Warhammer 40K Roleplaying. I appreciate your interest, but I do not own the Intellectual Property rights to these game systems. Nor do I have permission from any of the Publishers to distribute the data files. As such, I cannot distribute the work I have done with community on these files. They are "for personal use" only. Thank you. I am far too busy these days to answer emails. If you message me here there is no guarantee I will get back to you at all. |
