NEW: Which games should Hero Lab support? (A-M)

Colen · 12:52 PM

Since Hero Lab was released, we've added support for a number of much-requested games. Now it's time for another poll - which game do you think should be added next?

The poll here lists 10 games, whose names begin A-M, that you can vote for. Please vote for all the games you would like to use Hero Lab with - if you want to vote for more than one, vote for as many as you want!

Games with names beginning N-Z can be found here:

Please check this list as well, and vote for the games you'd like to see!

Would Spycraft or FantasyCraft be worthwhile additions? I didn't see either on the list.

How about some basic building set as starting point for the whole range of retro clones, perhaps even with one retro clone being ready to use?

There were a number of games we overlooked in the lists. These two are perfect examples. <sigh>

That would be called the Authoring Kit. It's already available and provides the framework for creating data files for any game you want, including all those retro games. The Kit includes Savage Worlds as a complete example, which definitely isn't a retro game, but it's an excellent game that serves as a great example of how to do stuff. :-)

Now, I voted for the d6 system from WEG since that would allow us to clone the system and build Star Wars, however, that leads me to my next question. Could you guys build the framework for SWSE, but not add the content? This would allow us to add our own content from the books that we individually own. I've tried learning the Authoring Kit, but to no avail. So, the question is whether or not it would be legal for you guys to build the framework and let us download it (I'd buy it), just without the content.

Great product no matter what. I own three data-sets; d20, 4.0, and M&M. All have always been great helpers in my gaming.

I would love to see Hollow Earth Expedition. Mostly because all three books are now out.

I know it'll never happen, but I'd love to be able to make Feng Shui characters ...

Catalyst Game Labs is producing a new RPG for Battletech. I've been playing Battletech since the 80s and would love to see the new RPG on Hero Lab.

I would also like to see a Battletech RPG dataset one day.
