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

[ozchandler]

i'd like to throw my hat in the mongoose wishful ring, more specifically traveller and rq2. i use herolab for pathfinder and cortex and it's a wonderful product!

 

[dragonladytoo]

How about systems that aren't on the list? Perhaps a list of systems you won't be doing so we can stop bugging you about them.

I would like to see

Mongoose's
Traveller (Standard, Judge Dredd, Hammer's Slammers, Strontium Dogs, etc)

This has my vote!!

I would love to see DC Heroes, and Torg and/or Masterbook. I've been trying to teach myself the Authoring Kit, but it's slow going. I understand some of the concepts, but the examples in the wiki are a little hard for me to follow. I'm probably just dense.

Anyway, Torg, Masterbook, DC Heroes (or Blood of Heroes) would be games I'd like to see. Though, as they're all defunct, I doubt you'll be able to get licenses for 'em...

 

[Argamae]

Well, everyone would love to see his favourite system supported. Unfortunately, most of my favourite systems are out of print which hardly qualifies them as valid candidates. But if I had any say in this, I would very much like to see ALTERNITY supported--together with it's most prominent settings, STAR*DRIVE and DARK°MATTER. TALISLANTA would be next on my wish list.

Also, I would like to see D20 MODERN added to the D20 System licence!

From the poll list I would love to see the D6 SYSTEM and UNISYSTEM getting a HL treatment.

It's too bad that someone couldn't snag Alternity from WotC ... the system had some real potential for such a short lifespan.

I would love to see Unisystem myself.

I'd even be will to do the work to have it since I have all the Unisystem games.

Shadowrun would be the one for me. But I would also get Hunter. I would caution against rifts as KS has a reputation as... well, you know.

 

[ozchandler]

i'd also like to see d20 modern included

 

[ChaosInc80]

Voted on mage. Our current chronicle has mage antagonists and was disappointing that the support wasn't available yet.

 

[Dragonstar]

Shadowrun and D20 Modern are high on my lists of "please, please, soon."

 

[FifthWanderer]

Shadowrun is being worked on now.

 

[jonbartels]

is it possible to reset the poll now that shadowrun has been started?

 

[Bryangustaf]

I think WoD: Geist & WoD: Inferno should be added to the poll in addition to Hunter & Mage.

 

[ChaosInc80]

I don't think it will matter if it's reset or not. Although I'm a strong supporter of Shadowrun over Exalted, by my count Exalted actually "won" the vote.

Yet Shadowrun is the next system.....

Can we get a little light on this decision? I'm not trying to start a flamefest, but we were given the appearance that the poll was a waste of time.

 

[Duggan]

^_^ Not an employee, so this is not an official answer, but my understanding from other forum topics is that they started adapting Shadowrun years ago. Financial troubles with Catalyst Games has delayed actually releasing it. So I wouldn't be surprised if the Shadowrun release predates the poll's results, or even the poll itself.

 

[flamepulse]

Shadowrun was i negotiations before the poll started. things have been delayed on it because of said financial troubles with catalyst.

I doubt the poll has any bearing on when things will be made, they are jsut using it as data to determine where to focus their efforts in getting deals made.

As Duggan pointed out, the poll tells us where we should focus our efforts in talking to potential licensors. However, there are many additional factors that come into play when working out a license with someone. One obvious factor is the financial details. In the case of White Wolf, there are other factors involved. White Wolf is gearing up for some major announcements at their Grand Masquerade event next month. Sometimes, licensing and partnership announcements are timed to coincide with such events, and other times major announcements result in secondary licensing arrangements being put on hold until after the announcements. All I can say is that external factors are at work with respect to White Wolf, so please stay tuned (and patient).

I'd love to see a Torg in Herolab. But its old, OOP and the shear number of options and crossover rules make it a challenge, but if they can do it for Shadowrun...... (no chance of that being 2nd edition I suppose).

Cheers

Scion would be a great help (but a huge undertaking). As a cross reference heavy system it could truly benefit from HeroLab's tracking during character creation and in play.

I'd also love to see an Eden studios / Unisystem support (even though that comment probbaly ought to go in the A-M section).

I'd also like to suggest heroLab support for the Old World of Darkness/storyteller system. It may be out of print but the generally accepted wisdom is that there are still far more people playing that than there are playing the New World of Darkness.

I tried to get this together myself, but didn't get far before finding I simply haven't the skills. So, I'm still hoping that Exalted is next, with Scion piggy-backed for similarity (though I don't play Exalted).
