Hi Michael.
While Pathfinder and Shadowrun are popular game systems in Hero Lab, we currently support a number of others, notably Savage Worlds, Mutants & Masterminds, and Call of Cthulhu. We also support the 3.5 OGL and 4e (in conjunction with downloaded material from a D&D Insider account that the user has).
We are currently working on a new game system to introduce in Hero Lab, and we should be announcing it either this month or next. In addition, we have plans to support BRP as soon as we can.
One of the challenges we face is needing to execute a license with the publisher in order to support a game system like we do with Pathfinder, Shadowrun, and others. Sometimes, these publishers have other license agreements in place that preclude them from participating in a computer-based character generator product.
Being a small company, we also have to balance our limited resources against the expected revenue we could generate from sales of a particular game system. If we don't think the demand is there, we can't pursue certain options because of this. It's one of the reasons we solicit feedback in the forums regarding what games folks would like to see; it helps us gauge potential demand.
