I've accessed the wiki several times and I don't understand how to use the Authoring Kit. I see the Sample Game System but I don't understand how to access something to create one of my own. I was hoping to use it to make Scion inside Hero Lab because the thread where a guy was doing that seems to have died, but I can't seem to understand how to even get started.
As well, is there an index of user created game systems or do I need to randomly wander the forums and hope to stumble on one? |

It sounds like 'Scion' is based on World of Darkness/Exhalted.
As such, you may be able to copy the WoD system (like jfrazierjr suggests) and modify that to get closer to what you want than if you try to build it from scratch with the Authoring Kit. Current RPG's: Pathfinder (GM), Pathfinder (Player), Gamma World (GM, Pathfinder homebrew). HeroLab: 3.5 & Pathfinder. HL User Files for PF: Greyhawk Setting, Gamma World (WIP). DM and player of D&D since 1980. |

I've found the create game system option, but it's greyed out. I've tried every game system and no matter what I do I don't have access to most of the develop menu.

At the very top of the menu, turn on "Enable Data File Debugging". That will allow you to start using the tools in this menu, as well as other tools like right-clicking picks to look at their fields, tags and script lists.

Did Matthias's advice help? He's pretty busy right now, with the release of Starfinder coming up, but I went through the Savage Worlds stuff recently myself, and I'm about 75% of the way through my own system. We all help each other out here.
