NEW: Which games should Hero Lab support? (N-Z)

[khan]

I vote for all the warhammer: 40,000 rpg stuff

Star Wars Edge of the Empire support

I'd love to see support for the new Star Wars RPG line from Fantasy Flight Games: Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion, and Force and Destiny.

This system is one of the most popular games going at the moment.

 

[Faerie]

Rifts for me. And by extension I'd love Heroes Unlimited and Ninjas & Superspies to be available. I personally mainly run Heroes Unlimited campaigns. Mostly due to not feeling as comfortable GMing using Mutants & Masterminds.

 

[Dalhyp]

I'd like to add Torg to the game list.

 

[chiefweasel]

Anyone look into Traveller from Mongoose?

 

[Baraccus]

Any chance of even looking at Swords & Wizardry? Frog God Games has done such a great job with Rappan Athuk, Slumbering Czar, and other mods for Pathfinder, that you currently support. But it would be nice to be able to go old school with Hero Lab, and you would think that the datasets would be considerably easier to produce. Never tried creating one though.

 

[Murrdox]

Please make Numenera happen. Also let us know if we can do anything to help make Numenera happen.

 

[chiefweasel]

Ya Traveller, would love to see that.

 

[Sketchpad]

Count me in for Numenera as well.

 

[Gelfarin]

Rifts all the way

Rifts is much needed. Their fans are incredibly loyal, the game has been using the same system for 30 years, and character creation is the most difficult part of it. Best of all, they only come out with one or two books a year, so keeping the database up to date wouldn't be too overbearing.

 

[cimmerian]

Has anybody used Hero Lab for GUMSHOE?

 

[WildMonkeyLaura]

Numenera

I'd like to see Numenera as well as Bruce Cordell's upcoming "The Strange" game, which shares a lot of the same rules as Numenera.

 

[9littlebees]

Not sure which edition of WFRP is being referred to in the poll, but 2nd edition Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is less than 10 years old and still has a big following. It also uses a percentile system which would be easy to implement, as it's not a million miles off from Call of Cthulhu.

 

[kjbro]

Would love to see support for the new Onyx Path versions of the New World of Darkness. As there's only a few books out at the moment, should be easy to support.

Also, the By Night Studios Vampire the Masquerade would be awesome to see support for.

 

[CigarSmoker]

I voted Rifts but I think the whole of the Palladium system would be the way to go.
Everything Palladium has created in some way connects to Rifts, so you can play a character from one game system, say Heroes Unlimited or Beyond the Supernatural in the Rifts setting with only a few alterations to the character. Usually just making something MDC or deal MD damage.

 

[Aaron]

Palladium is badly in need of a character generation program too. I started plans to create one using the authoring kit, but I just haven't the time or energy to do my professional duties and make a new game system on top of that. And, were I to create such a system, I wouldn't have been able to share it anyway, because of the legal issues involved with me working at Lone wolf. So, y'know, oh well.

 

[Vaneheart]

RIFTS would be beyond the bounds of awesome. I think I would die of astonishment if this happened.

 

[lbrucegray]

Or does a request for 13th Age go under "T"?

 

[MPHopcroft]

Rocket Age would be interesting, as it's a Vortex game that isn't build on a subsidiary license (it might be very hard to get The One Ring licensed).

Runequest 6 can be partially adapted from the Call of Cthulhu 6 code; a lot of people I see online seem to be picking it up. It would mean dealing with a different company, not Chaosium, but it's possible.

You forgot my favorite game Rolemaster
