I say this not only as a writer for these three products (Hi!), but as someone who has heard many times at conventions the phrase "Man, I wish I had a decent character builder for this game."

Authoring kit is an answer, sure, but speaking as someone who would love to do more small-press work with these games (I also run Atomic Rocket Games, but that doesn't mean much since my day job bit me on the ass), I'd be more than happy to pitch the idea of Hero Lab at R. Talsorian's honcho.

I've occasionally thought of taking the Authoring Kit to Fuzion, but I'd never get the output to look like anything but crap.

But yes, it'd be nice to have a HL template for those. Unfortunately, I'm not sure there's still enough players to support it.

Earthdawn 3rd Edition would be an awesome option, too

I for one would buy it immediately

Its just that the Authorizing Kit requires you have a PHD in Physics and Mathematics and Computing to understand how to put the damn stuff together.....

Oh, then I guess it couldn't have been me who built the Cortex, CoC and Shadowrun files using the authoring kit. I only have a bachelors degree in Biology.

You just have to be willing to study what's already there. There are two entire, functional game systems where you can look at everything that makes up that game system. We're also happy to answer questions (just be aware that it may take a little while to get back to you if you ask a complex question).

I admit I haven't looked through all ten pages here, but I've been curious about whether or not a GURPS version would be viable. It's pretty much all my friends play nowadays, and I would grab Hero Lab in a heartbeat if I could manage my character(s) with a program like this.

How about Fate? That will be coming out soon.
