Since Hero Lab was released, we've added support for a number of much-requested games. Now it's time for another poll - which game do you think should be added next?

The poll here lists 10 games, whose names begin A-M, that you can vote for. Please vote for all the games you would like to use Hero Lab with - if you want to vote for more than one, vote for as many as you want!

Games with names beginning N-Z can be found here:

Please check this list as well, and vote for the games you'd like to see!

How about some basic building set as starting point for the whole range of retro clones, perhaps even with one retro clone being ready to use?

That would be called the Authoring Kit. It's already available and provides the framework for creating data files for any game you want, including all those retro games. The Kit includes Savage Worlds as a complete example, which definitely isn't a retro game, but it's an excellent game that serves as a great example of how to do stuff. :-)
 
Now, I voted for the d6 system from WEG since that would allow us to clone the system and build Star Wars, however, that leads me to my next question. Could you guys build the framework for SWSE, but not add the content? This would allow us to add our own content from the books that we individually own. I've tried learning the Authoring Kit, but to no avail. So, the question is whether or not it would be legal for you guys to build the framework and let us download it (I'd buy it), just without the content.

Great product no matter what. I own three data-sets; d20, 4.0, and M&M. All have always been great helpers in my gaming.
 
Catalyst Game Labs is producing a new RPG for Battletech. I've been playing Battletech since the 80s and would love to see the new RPG on Hero Lab.
 
Eclipse Phase is very new, and probably not getting as much attention.. but it is very cool. Also available from Catalyst Game Labs.

Very happy to see CthulthuTech as an option too. I'd buy that data set in a heartbeat.

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.
 
Cthulhu and d20 mechanics.

I definatly voted for d20 CoC and a d20 base mechanics. My whole idea behind getting Hero Lab was because I wanted to make a GOOD set of tools for CoC d20 version which you just can't find since its such a niche game. I assume the CoC listed in the poll is the most recent version by Chaosium and not d20 but Either would be good. And the d20 mechanics would be GREAT just because it would allow a great deal of flexibility for everyone trying to develope d20 based games that are similar but still sufficiently different from the 3.5 rules to be worth developing.
