quick question hoping someone can assist with. I create in RW on desktop, then sync to my laptop for games at another location. Eager to try HL after down-under DM posted the videos showing all the linking. BUT... can I move any and all created things in HL from my desktop PC to the laptop, as easily as the syncing is in RW?
If I get a yes on this, I buy HL tonight to be ready for tomorrow's game. No sleep then which will be tough after hanging out with 5 million of my closest cub fan friends this morning, but anything for my players... Thanks! |

Google Drive works wonders here. All my characters are saved on Google Drive and sync seamlessly.
The only thing that does not sync is custom files created using the editor. This is generally not too much of an issue though as most people would rarely create custom content out of the community packs which sync automatically from a server. What system are you looking at?

Important to note, since your using Realm Works. NPCs, Monsters, even Heroes can be saved in Realm Works allowing that to handle the sync. Just means you launch the content from Realm Works instead of through the standard file system.
Again though, custom *.user files need to exist on both machines.

Running 3.5 with some house rules. Mostly concerned about a single prestige class that I'm using/swiping from Fiendish Codex that I figure I'll have to enter manually.
If RW will handle syncing up NPCs and monsters, that would probably take care of most of it, although I REALLY want to use the encounter builder and tactical console too. |

Hummm... that is a bummer if the monsters aren't there. I was really impressed with the ease of transition between RW and HL in 5.0 for the combats and was looking forward to trying it out.
Greatly appreciate all the pointers...! |

Probably important to note. In my RW video's where I show the transition from RW to HL with the monsters. I don't use the encounter builder there.
You create the monsters in RW using HL snippets and simply build the monsters via the process shown. That enables the transition from RW to HL. The Encounter builder is there though with 375 options. I just loaded up the 3.5 set in demo mode and there's 135 races. Adding the community pack mentioned by Shadow above bumps that to 467! Check out the demo mode, see if you like it.

So if you open HL and select race "Owl Bear" its there and can be used. The difference will be you open a "Goblin" and the "default" weapons will not be on the race but you can simply add them.
