Hey guys I have only just discovered Hero Loader and I was wondering how much the extra data costs to buy as I already have most of the books/PDF's and I don't want to have to spend the same amount again.

Also is there a list of what has been implemented from each book so far?

Starting from scratch, what's out right now for HL costs $85: $30 for HL and the first core rules choice; $35 for the "Big Bundle" of supplements (Arsenal, Augmentation, etc), and $10 each for the two bundles of smaller PDF-only books (Gun Heaven, Deadly Waves, etc).

Compared to the $250+ I spent for the actual PDFs, that's chump change.

Ye but dude I already have all the books and PDF's so spending another $85 while I don't have a job is out of the question.

Guess I have to stick to my excel sheets

Oh and what advanced character concepts has been included so far? It doesn't state that bit on the site you linked Mathias.

Why not download it in demo mode - that way, you can look at the list of optional rules for yourself (they'll be greyed out, but you can see what would be there).

Sorry to hear that. But, really ... LoneWolf is an entirely separate company from Catalyst. And the folks at LoneWolf need to put food on their table, too.

"Most of it." Seriously, there's very little left in any of the books stated to be part of the data files, that hasn't been implemented yet. It might be easier to list what hasn't been included yet.

If $70 is too steep for you right now, check out http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?act=idx and the Community Projects section. There are several character programs there, none of them are as good as HL but they are a decent alternative.

Cool thanks for the info Pax, just writing an infected campaign at the moment so I didn't want to grab it and then find it useless for that.

Well this is going on my shopping list with the 3.5 books as well. Everyone cross their fingers for my job hunting

Oh, HL does handle the Infected quite well. I have a weak spot for making Ghouls, myself.

Just as an example ... here's a "parkour adept" ghoul I made .... something of an infiltration / B&e / urban explorer character, built with KarmaGen (the 1,000 version):

I'd really like to see more of this. User content would make SR Hero Lab SO much more useful.
