[QUOTE="Ed, post: 4588792, member: 14042"] I use HeroLab for my games. I only play Mutants and Masterminds right now but I have found the tool indispensable for the campaign. First, the company releases a patch for HeroLab about every two weeks and for the DataFiles (at least for M&M) at the same time. All of these patches cover bug reports which the company takes by email or (in the case of M&M) online at the AtomicThinkTank forums and their own Lone Wolf Studios forums. The company also adds new features when we request them if they're able to do, even if it requires work. From my experience, I have never seen software supported so well by a company. The guys at Lone Wolf are responsive and interested in user input and work very, very hard to meet the needs of their customer base. I LOVE DMGenie. It's one of the greatest campaign aids I've ever picked up. When I ran D&D 3.5, I relied heavily on it to help manage my games. Hero Lab (at least for M&M) does a fair job at running a game and most of what I'd see added to the program with regards to that are just that: additions. It could do more but the company seems to be focused on getting out a broad product base of datafiles before working on adding large amounts of features that would obviously be labor-intensive to produce at this time. Simply put, you should check out the demo version of HeroLab, there's nothing to lose by doing so. I would like to reiterate that all my comments above are tailored to my experience using the M&M system. I've not used HeroLab or messed with it in regards to d20. Regards, Ed [/QUOTE]
