Lone Wolf Announces Hero Lab RPG Software

[brimitch]

Today, we are happy to announce the Fall 2006 release of our new RPG software, Hero Lab. Using Hero Lab, players create characters, as the software’s intuitive user interface enables them to experiment with all applicable options. Every adjustment is automatically tracked, and any potential rules violations are flagged and immediately brought to the user’s attention. As characters advance, Hero Lab allows players to chart every stage of their characters’ evolution.

Utilizing our proprietary technology, Hero Lab helps players select from an ever-lengthening list of options, rules, and other information to build precisely the character they want, and the automated rules validation system constantly checks to make sure that every character is legal for play. Consistent with our business model, Hero Lab will support a wide variety of RPG games from throughout the industry.

Hero Lab will retail at $29.99 US, and will be available from leading hobby retailers, as well as online at www.wolflair.com. We will have more information about Hero Lab available on our web site right after Gen Con.

Note: For those of you following the RPG Tool thread in this forum, we hope that you understand our need for secrecy regarding this project up until this point, and we very much appreciate your honest feedback.

I agree!

I have been hoping for such a tool for a long time.

Anyone working on Shadow Run? If not I have a set of testers to help develop it

FYI, I've just added a Hero Lab Discussion forum here:

http://support.wolflair.com/index.php?name=MDForum&file=viewforum&f=33

I'll be posting a short FAQ there now, and maybe expanding it a bit when I get back. I'll also post a thread soon asking you to vote for the games you'd like to see Hero Lab support! If you have questions or comments, please use that forum.

Thanks!

We've been in discussions with FanPro for quite some time. Due to the licensing of Shadowrun from WizKids and the recent upheaval within WizKids, we've run into some unexpected delays in the approval process. But we definitely intend to support Shadowrun - ideally as one of the first few games after D20. Given that Shadowrun is one of the few systems we play in our regular gaming group, Colen and I have a personal interest in seeing this one added sooner as opposed to later. :->
