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 N-Z, 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 A-M can be found here:

Please check this list as well, and vote for the games you'd like to see!
 
I've put in my votes for Hunter & Mage...

Guess which games I play... :)

Now there's a thought...Werewolf isn't on the list. Does that mean it's next after Changeling?
 
How about systems that aren't on the list? Perhaps a list of systems you won't be doing so we can stop bugging you about them.

I would like to see

Mongoose's

Traveller (Standard, Judge Dredd, Hammer's Slammers, Strontium Dogs, etc)
Runquest (Standard, Elric, Hawkmoon, Lahnkmar, Slaine, etc)

From talking to White Wolf, they have indicated that they want us to do at least one of Mage, Hunter, or Geist before doing Werewolf. So this poll omits Werewolf because it won't be next. :-(

These are another two games that we overlooked in putting together the list. Maybe we need to add a third poll with a bunch of stuff we forgot to include in the first two lists.
 
I'd be interested in either Castles & Crusades (a d20, rules light variant) or Trail of Cthulhu, based on the GUMSHOE engine by Pelgrane Press. (This could also cover other GUMSHOE games such as 'The Esoterrorists or Mutant City Blues.)
 
Good lord, Shadowrun NEEDS a good character builder. The game is fun enough, but the character creation is such a chore that if I was running the game, I'd not want to kill off characters or NPCs just so I wouldn't have to run through the tax-audit of making a character again.
 
The only thing stopping me from buying Hero Lab is the fact that you do not support Shadowrun or Scion. If you had either one of those I would buy it tonight. My first choice is Shadowrun btw since I am starting a campaign up this weekend.
 
Of all the games you have listed, the only one that catches my eye is True20 (as it is the only other one I play regularly). Games that it would be useful to me to see supported include Mongoose's Traveller and Wizards of the Coast's Alternity (which is long out-of-print).

As far as Mongoose goes, they have already explicitly stated that there will not be a Hero Lab version of their Traveller rules, though I don't recall ever having seen a reason.

And for Rifts, all I can say is, good luck. Palladium is unbelievably paranoid about their intellectual property. Even if you can convince them to ease up a little, I can only imagine the problems inherent in setting up the data files for a game that doesn't even agree with itself on many points (ever looked up the same rule in different books?) and for which the classes become more and more ridiculously overpowered with every supplement that is released. Not to mention that the system itself is clunky and about as streamlined as a child's lunchbox.
 
Something that .needs. a good character builder is Rolemaster - all the ones I've found online are outdated and buggy. Character Creation can take two or three sessions between all the charts and books..

Same here. I'd buy it now if it supported Shadowrun.
