There are already a handful of pretty decent Exalted software tools.

My vote is Eclipse Phase. I'm really surprised it doesn't have one yet!

As much as it would be cool to have exalted in Hero Lab so it was in the same base tool that I use for other games, I have to agree with you on it already having some good tools.

Something like Hero Lab would be really nice for Eclipse Phase.
 
Out of this group I would like to see Exalted, Cthulutech, and d6 System. :) I think Eclipse Phase is pretty kool, but I have not played it.
 
d20 System mechanics (starting point for other d20 games)
Justifiers (its a dead system sort of, a German company has just remade and released it in 2010)
Top Secret/SI (dead system)
L5R (or help making it :)
 
I would like to see Earthdawn 1st (not second or classic) edition and Cyberpunk 2nd edition (not 3rd), ALIENS, Mutant Chronicles, AD&D 2nd edition.

Battletech A Time of War please.

Also, Dark Heresy (and the other40K RPG's from FFG) as well as the Warhammer RPG.
 
Mongoose Legend (ex Runequest II).

As you already have a dataset for CoC, a conversion to Legend should be a doddle.
 
My problem is, of course, I use so many systems I'd like support for several. In addition to D6 (and possibly D20 Modern) listed above, I'd like support for things like Fuzion, EABA and the more general BRP system (I keep hearing that one is going to happen at some point, and gather its a problem at Chaosium's end, but it still hasn't happened).
 
I would like to see Earthdawn 1st edition and Cyberpunk 2nd edition (not 3rd), ALIENS, Mutant Chronicles, AD&D 2nd edition, Dark Heresy and the related W40K stuffs (Simply W40K?), Marvel Super Heroes, Ars Magica, Call of Cthulhu 4th or 5th edition.

And a question.... Why don't you support older editions of some games...? Many of the gamers play with older editions as me because the new ones are big shits... So you can take much more costumers... and maybe you could take much more cheaper the lisense for an older edition than the newest one.... I tried the HL and its a great stuff.... but i won't buy it until you don't support older editions of some games (CP, Earthdawn, Shadowrun, Star Wars, WoD) because as i wrote i don't play with the new shits... And as i said i think there are many of us (gamers) the same with it.... And as i see you published more editions for Mutants&Masterminds.... Why not for some other games? So please write me a pm with an answer what's your reason...

Thanks

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it's because they're a small company and still don't have support for all the current games they want to include. If we had it our way, they'd be programming gods who stay up countless hours on nothing but caffeinated beverages and slave away for our benefit. Oh, wait... ;)

Ultimately, if there's a market for it (and already I would guess that there's at least a market for AD&D 2e), and it's legally viable, they probably will. It's just going to take a bit of time. I will have to admit, though, that Hero Lab is helping me get into other gaming systems that I've wanted to play and never bothered with. I'm dabbling a bit in WoD and Savage Worlds now thanks to these guys. There are some benefits to having current systems ready to go at your fingertips. :)

That's what i say.... There is market for older games.. (not only AD&D 2nd edition). And as i saw... They lisence a game system (and i think all of the stuffs for it). So they have much easier way than the fans.... (in the case when they can't download everything for a game system from warez or P2P...but mostly these not hte best quality and not all the stuffs). So i don't say that its an easy task... but they are programmers...so not as hard as for me... And they take the money not me... :D Therefore i wrote... It's a great stuff... but without the support of the great old games (or the version of the great old times of a game).. it's useless.... i follow my favorite games versions... and the newers...are full of crap... and i think many old gamers think the same... And its a big market... Forexample i'll buy the program if they would publish the 2nd edition package... i use up the free package... maybe they publish 3rd too (thats a small modification) thats worth 10-15-20 bucks.... thats tha same with earthdawn, cp, ALIENS, oWoD...So i would spend 150-200 or more bucks approx. for all of these stuffs...Without these i only wait for them... Most of the new games are shits... :D But the good part of this... They safe me money.... :D So i look what they come out with...
