Next WoD update?

[HoldenA]

Any idea when the next World of Darkness update will be, and if it will include stuff from the Armory Reloaded?

I'm way behind on stuff, so I honestly haven't even looked at Armory Reloaded. Is there a specific subset of material that will get you by in the short term if I add it? I also need to get a bunch of Changeling stuff added, plus all the various requests everyone has posted.

We're expecting to release V3.6 of Hero Lab in a week or two. I'm expecting that we'll be releasing the new WoD files at the same time, which means I only have a few days of actual time to work on the WoD files during that span. Consequently, I won't be able to get everything in that I'd like and need to prioritize stuff. If you guys can prioritize things for me, that's great. Otherwise, I'll have to take my best guess. :-)

The main thing I was looking for from the Armory Reloaded was the fighting style "Langschwert (pg. 83).

You seem to have a lot on your plate though! Good luck on getting as much done as possible, once again thanks for all the hard work!

I haven't looked at that particular fighting style, but most fighting styles are pretty straightforward to implement via the Editor. You simply need to define each dot level as a "merit level" and then tie it all together with the actual merit itself. There are numerous examples of this with other fighting styles that you can model your approach after (and potentially just copy in the Editor). So you might consider giving it a try yourself if you really need that one merit soon.

Could you narrow it down for us?

Otherwise my choice would be:

1. Book of Spirits
2. Second Sight
3. Changing Breeds
4. Skinchangers
5. Inferno

[jonbartels]

my choice are as follows:

1. the remaining changeling books
2. armory reloaded
3. werewolf, mage, etc.

[Noctivagus]

I second (or third?) Second Sight, Book of Spirit, and Inferno.

[dartnet]

I say get the base books (second sight, dogs of war, etc.) and then start getting the others done.

As far as this goes, how will my editing/adding to the file effect updates?
