I figured this was the best sub-forum, but I had the idea to compile the various 3pp Pathfinder products that included Powered by HeroLab files.

Clockwork Gnome
Cloven Hoof Syndicate

John Brazer
Book of Magic Pirate Spells
Seedling
Shadowfall Player's Guide
Signature Spells 1 and 2

Kobold Press
Advanced Feats - Might of the Magus

Open Design
Secrets of the Alchemist
Spell-Less Ranger
Witch's Brew

Rites Publishing
Secrets of the Magus
101 Pirate Traits
101 Alternate Traits for Human, Half-Orc, Halfling, Half-Elf, Gnome, Elf, Dwarf
101 0th, 1st ... 9th level spells

Total Party Kill Games
Malefactor

I'll try to keep this post updated.

I guess this idea isn't as good as I thought. Well then, anyone know of a place where this information already exists? A nice 'ole repository of the 3pp's that provide Hero Lab files?
 
Its not a bad idea actually. I have no good places to suggest today but I do have plans for maybe a better "community" website actually. That would be a good place to store such information.
 
Right Publishing has Hero Lab files for more than Secrets of the Magus. The 101 levelx Spells are also provided with the HL files. Some of the John Brazer products also have them.

I am thinking that I am not understanding exactly what you are wanting to do or what you mean in your original post.
 
What I'm asking is exactly what you posted. What 3pp products come with HeroLab files? Post up the producing company, and the product, and I'll add it to the list. It'd be great if we could get some of the folks working wi the 3pp's chiming in with their supported product list as well.
 
OK, looking at mine, I will put down as follows:

Rite Publishing
101 Pirate Traits
101 Alternate Traits for Human, Half-Orc, Halfling, Half-Elf, Gnome, Elf, Dwarf
101 0th, 1st ... 9th level spells

Clockwork Gnome

Super Genius Games has a few, but there are some Community Made data sets that have a whole lot more, and I cannot remember which ones came with what. I admit that part of me is kind of irritated by this, as there are a TON of good ideas in SSG products, but Hero Lab support is mostly provided by fellow fans. Even smaller, less known companies (shown above) give provide Hero Lab support. Hero Lab user files are not all that hard, they are just time consuming.
 
I agree with you Seeley. Knowing that there are 3pp's the provide files for some of their products (Super frustrating that it seems very hit or miss on which ones are for each publisher though) has seemed to skew which ones I want to pick up. I find myself drawn more towards the ones that have support.
 
The problem is that some of the smaller 3PP companies can't afford someone to do their HL conversion, or don't know where to find someone to do it. The ones that are done by the community are usually just things that someone wants to use in their game so they do it themselves, or it is a product that they want to do because they like the product.

I don't really fault the companies that do not have the HL files. Of course if you like a companies products, and would like to see it converted to HL,you could do it yourself and share with the community.
 
I don't fault the 3pp's for Not having HL files at all. I just know that I'm more drawn to the products that do. Yes, I could tackle a project like that, but life is life...and doesn't really afford me that kind of time, aside from the occasional feat or archetype.

Of course...that's going to be happening very soon. I've come across a number of things at the moment I need to program up, just waiting for the time to do so.
 
FYI - We have the Modern Path and other modern HL files in the auto updates. It's a lot of work, but we give out the dataset's free. Mostly because I enjoyed making the files and sharing them. But it is a lot of work and always needs updating. It's not really something many 3pp companies can "just do" unless they hire someone, (which is very expensive) or DIY in your spare time, (if they have any). That is why the Community Datasets are very important. With everyone adding what they can do, it will grow do a very good database of 3pp datasets.
 
I don't know why there seems to be a need to justify a lack of HL files for 3pp products. I'm not bashing anything of the sort. It was/is simply my goal to compile a list of the ones that ARE out there. I understand the reasons why they don't all have files. I'm not sure why this keeps getting mentioned, as I haven't even said anything of the sort. This is simply an effort to compile a list of the products out there that DO have files with them.
 
My bad, yea, I think it's just one of those issue's that is brought up a lot. I think we all want more HL support out there.

BTW - I think you do a search on RPGNow for "Hero Lab" and it will bring up a list of pdf with HL support.

With regard to SGG files I think there are only a few out with files. Dragonrider and witch hexes and maybe one or two others. Through the community files there are a couple of dozen. With regard to the community ones, some are more "done" than others, simply because at least one of the fans producing some of them is a terrible scripter.

Lest anyone get the wrong idea the terrible scripter referenced is me. I do what I can, but when it comes to writing much beyond the basic per-req stuff I'm afraid a lot of it just goes over my head.
 
I'm glad that several companies are offering their support already, but the more the merrier, as they say.
 
Where can one find these to purchase? i've only seen the PDFs when i search. mostly im lookig for Witches brew
