Which, of course, you will, because you sure as shit didn't pay $30 for Hero Labs in the first place just to go back to using pencil and paper (or, more likely, some kind of ordinary electronic character sheet manager,) because your new book has stuff you can't plug into Hero Lab. By way of comparison, you can get the Legendary Edition of Skyrim on Steam for $40 right now, so that doesn't seem so bad.īut wait, hold on, they want you to spend $10 to unlock each book's worth of content? So not only do you need to buy Chrome Flesh, for example, for $25- 50 dollars, but you need to tack on an extra $10 "license to use the content I just bought in my program" fee. Okay, so they want you to pay $30 to get the program. Hero Lab sounds like a fucking scam to me. How many tabletop RPG developers patent their creations?)ĭisclosure: Do not play SR5, will not touch SR5, only have experience with SR4 and Chummer 4. It's also the same reason things like Open Gaming Licenses are kinda weird - technically rules mechanics are properly covered by patent law, not copyright. #HERO LAB FULL VERSION DOWNLOAD GENERATOR#(Licensing a character generator is a little weird since rules mechanics are a little bit of a grey area in regards to intellectual property - many courts would might not recognize the 'numbers' part of RPGs to be 'creative work', and as such may be un-copyrightable in a similar way that phonebooks are un-copyrightable*. Herolab is also the only officially licensed product, but I don't think everyone finds that necessarily super important. Herolab costs money but because it does it has a lot more resources supporting it. ![]() Chummer has the benefit of being free, but is a fan-made product with all the pitfalls (and benefits!) that entails. It also was built from the ground up to be a multi-game product, so in many ways it is far more robust in dealing with major rules changes. Hero Lab has the benefit of an entire company behind it, and it shows. Unfortunately because Chummer is really the work of a succession of individuals, every time one has stopped working on it for whatever reason, it goes on hiatus until someone else can take up the torch. I'm not an Agent, but I occasionally run Missions at my store and it's handy being able to make LEGAL pre-gens (book pre-gens are garbage and not legal) tailored for the mission. IMHO, it's worth it if you're a GM and run games regularly at a FLGS. I have the full Hero Lab and SR5 add-ons. #HERO LAB FULL VERSION DOWNLOAD LICENSE#The first License can be used on 2 machines. So maybe grab it and see if it is worth it to you to spend that money.Ĭhummer5 has a pretty active community I think, on Catalyst's forum page, probably under community projects or something so post your error there and see if they have a solution. #HERO LAB FULL VERSION DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE#That said, Hero Labs offers a demo version of the software you can try out. To me, not worth it when Chummer does all this for free. So to get all the books out so far it costs $30 + $90 for the added books. The base system just supports the core book. The license is for 1 machine only and you have to buy the additional books at $10 a pop. Do all your players want to pay the $30 dollars and download it or are you willing to do all character updates for them? If not, then no, it isn't worth it. ![]()
