So now that Pathfinder 2.0 IS a thing, what now?

Big thing for me since Herolab Online is a non starter for custom content, will we see support for 2.0 in Classic?
 
We don't have official word for PF2 yet, but you'll see it when we do.

One thing I want to add here is that while we don't support user content in HLO yet, we absolutely do have plans for it. We web monkeys are as eager to get there as the users, since then we'll get to show off how clever we've been in setting up how the UI works in general. :D

But what about us old folks who like to program using a Text Editor? Don't need no fancy IDE or Web GUI to program! :D ;)

I'm glad you're acknowledging it, because I don't think you folks know how much the work by Shadow Chemosh and the community contribute to the utility that Herolab brings to gaming.

While I think it's worthwhile to remind them of those facts every so often... I think they know. Colen & Mathias are still regularly helping with issues with the Community Files, and Aaron was the main contributor and curator of the d20 Community Files before being hired.

I have actually been in direct contact with Colen and Rob in regards to the community Starfinder/HLO stuff. Just confirming its important and on the radar and I make sure to let them know I am waiting (players waiting and community waiting) desperately for this! :D

Personally I feel its more important than monsters, ships and GM features actually. But hey that's me! :)
 
Just my two cents...

I prefer Hero Lab as a stand-alone program so I can use it without having to rely on an internet connection. If I lose that, I can't use the program. Also saves on bandwidth. Just something to think about.

Pretty much the same here too. I usually make a character on my main PC, transfer over to my laptop and go with it there. If I don't have an internet connection it doesn't matter.

I'll third this. HLO looks nice, but I prefer my systems contained on my computer.

For me as well why I'm not interested in migrating to HLO if/when LW releases PF1 on that platform.
 
And I, on the other hand will enjoy using my *Android* tablet and using HLO at the table instead of lugging the laptop. I just want the additional licenses so I can have two devices on at same time.

RDP from my android tablet or phone to my HLC running at home - been doing this for 5 years or more.

This would be considerable more bandwidth that HLO would be, plus you need to open your home network to the outside not for the non-tech savy to do securely unless you use a service like Team viewer.

I think they said HLO will uses about 100kB per hour vs approximately 25-50MB per hour for RDP, so only good if you have unlimited data or a wifi connection.
 
For graphics light programs, like Hero Lab (especially if you flatten out some of the 'textured' background images, as I have), RDP does not use much data at all.
 
There's been no mention that characters (.por files) will be transferrable between the two systems.

Yes there has. They've said their planning a portability feature for shared data sets. They haven't said exactly how it's projected to work, though.
