Is anyone working on Starfinder dataset for HLC?

What the title says. I'm VERY disappointed that official support for Starfinder is only going to be via HLO. I do not need the extra bells and whistles that will eventually be part of HLO Starfinder. I just need what HLC can provide: Character creation. adjustments and conditions applied on the fly, tracking of exp & wealth gains.

And that might be problematic in a legal sense. There isn't any issue in people coding these items for themselves, but publishing them can open a whole can of worms with Paizo and Lone Wolf.

Lone Wolf really wants people to move out of Classic and into HLO.

Yes, we're excited about HLO. Just want to let you know that Classic isn't going anywhere! There are no plans to stop support for it, at all. Thanks!

Does that mean there may be an HLC Starfinder release?

It's OK to say that you can't give an answer on that, of course. I remember past incidents where a Lone Wolf employee saying something would be supported when it turned out the resources didn't support it. There were tears.

Not providing newer game systems within HL Classic sounds like stopping support for it.

My issue with HLO is that where we game, there is no internet. And my home service is not suited to streaming - i get lots of dropped signals and interruptions. Even downloading large updates like Pf can be challenging. I was looking forward to getting Sf, but now even if it goes to HLC i probably won't get it because i'm using a lot of 3PP sources to expand race, class and equipment choices.

They aren't interested in you as a customer. They are interested in me either, for the same reasons.

I would be interested in a community pack for PF2E for the same reason... I already have HLC, and I really don't want to pay a monthly subscription for something that I might use twice and then not again for years...

I'd also be interested in contributing to such an endeavor, if someone else where to start one... =D

The WoTC 5E community pack is excellent.

$10 for 6 months is not much of s subscription fee. You can also cancel the subscription so you don't have to pay for it for years if your not going to use it.

Hmm... for some reason I interpreted the standard membership to be a monthly fee... that's definitly not so bad then...

I'm still not sure I need it when I play so infrequently... but... >_>
