DM tools

Lion_Knight · December 9th, 2007, 12:08 PM

This would be a big undertaking, but I was wondering if you guys ever thought about adding DM tools to herolab. This would allow you to use characters you have already made and the monsters from the monster manual to. You use the tools to keep initiative and track hit points, status effects, and other situational modifiers.

From reading other posts, this is all on their to do list.

Yes, we were demoing an early prototype of this at Gen Con back in
August. Rob and I have spent the last 2 days meeting to decide how this
is going to work, so we're definitely getting closer to having them!

Campaign R&D will be out long before GenCon. It should be out next month. We'll then be adding more stuff in time for GenCon.

How do you guys do it? I mean, you tell us what you are going to do. And you do it! We have been very disappointed with past companies and their attempts at doing what you guys have already done. Truely, you guys are at the top of your game and deserve alot of credit.

Thanks! Believe me, we're just getting started. We have a lot of cool
things that we're trying to fit into the schedule...

I have to second that. You guys are doing a great job. I am looking forward to the DM tools so I can enter my world (it doesn't use the alignment system, but it's basically D20). I am impressed with your forward progress. It is nice to see actual programmers writing the software instead of people coming up with excuses year after year as to why they can't get the software written.

Keep up the good work, and Happy New Year.
