I think what is needed for the Authoring Kit, (which is great btw), is for it to be a little more user friendly as well as the editing tools for the data sets. It seems if someone (like myself) has very little programming skills, it take a lot of time just learn how to make simple edits. I really wanted to make a dataset for McWoD in HL, but had to go back to an "older software" that is very limited, but easy to edit. I Love HL and want to use it, but it's just not user friendly when it comes to editing and/or house rules.
