[QUOTE="Zulithe, post: 5466267, member: 4708"] This week I bought Hero Lab, the Pathfinder Ruleset and all of the currently available rules modules (using bundles where possible). I am very pleased with my purchase so far. While i primarily run Windows 7, my biggest complaint is the lack of a native Mac version. So far I've had no problems running Hero Lab through WINE... hopefully it stays that way. For any Mac users out there, I would recommend trying the demo through WINE and see if it suits you. I use Crossover but vanilla WINE should be fine, too. You are given two licenses--one primary and one secondary--to run on multiple computers w/ all of your datasets. You can purchase additional computer 'slots' if needed (I think it's $10 for each computer after the 2nd?) Very nice for people who like to run two platforms. I mostly use my Windows 7 desktop at home for prep and research, and my Macbook when gaming at the table. I'll concede that my second complaint is the price. It was around the quoted 125 USD previously noted. Did it save me lots of time? YES, particularly the Bestiary datasets. Was it a great value? Well, not really... especially since I already own some of this content in not just one but two formats, some of which I purchased separately, effectively having me buying some of this content 3x. It is a little annoying, and I think they should work harder on offering more discount package deals At the end of the day though, I am happy to be supporting both Lone Wolf and Paizo. Doing my part to help ensure we see lots from both of these companies in the future. :D [/QUOTE]
