Create a Know NPCs tab

S

I want to create a Know NPCs tab, something similar to the journal but where i could add a picture, name and "job" and enter some notes.
I wish to be able to print the NPC list with the notes for each one.
 
That sounds like something which would be more in the wheelhouse of our other program, Realm Works.
 
I'm assuming OP is referring to be able to organize notes of your games (your being the player, not the GM) to more easily reference when they come up ingame. While Realm Works does work for that (and I use it for the games I GM), its more a GM tool than a player tool.
 
I hope something similar to the social tab with suport to images

I disagree, each character may have something different in mind about each npc.

A chaotic neutral barbarian may not like the lawful neutral captain of the guard because they got in trouble with each other in the past.

But the lawful good paladin may like the work he is doing...

A male ( or female "why not?" ) char may be attracted with the tabern bartender and a female ( or male ) may be jealous of his cleavage...

The wizard may know a bunch of npcs from a spell scholl that a sorcerer may not even heard about...

It's not a npc portfolio its a character log of know npcs

So if a feature is implemented at Realm Works that cant be requested / implemented at Hero lab?

Will the Social Tab be removed of Hero Lab?

The Personal Tab have a picture of the character, will it be removed because it is a thing of Realm Works too?

The Journal have notes of my quests, that is also a Realm Works feature, will it be removed?

Saw my point?
They can't be mutually excludent they work with many similar things, a feature appear or not at Realm Works doesnt have any relation with Hero Lab.

That is your opinion yes...

For a small company doing the "double" integration of the same ability across multiple software seems like a waste of time to me. I would prefer they focus on the best tool to do the job. Instead of trying to make every tool try and do everything.

I prefer they focus on the best tool too, but i think the best tool is HeroLab.

Realm Works doesnt work with player side alone I need a realm to log and I dont think that this the best tool because of it.
If I want to create characters for many games I need that each have a realm to log and create my notes in the realms, realm doenst have a player tablet version too.

I aint asking for a brand new and time consuming feature, im simply asking for a image in the social tab.

That's awesome, did not know it existed. Much better place to keep notes on NPCs. I was using the Journal but it made it hard to find them. This is way easier.

Imagine if you can add pictures in the journal too, Slayed a Beholder or even a Dragon, add a picture of the bastard to remind of this

You would quickly end up with a MASSIVE .por file for your hero, with all those images stored inside it.
