Digital Content Enters a New Era!

Wednesday, December 2, 2015

Running Pathfinder games is about to get a lot easier, as Pathfinder content goes digital in a way never seen before. Lone Wolf Development and Paizo have teamed up to establish a new digital standard by delivering Pathfinder content through Realm Works, the ENnie award-winning campaign suite.

This new partnership will make the entire Pathfinder portfolio available through the upcoming Realm Works Content Market. Pathfinder Adventure Paths, Modules, Campaign Setting volumes, Player Companions, and rulebooks alike can soon be used in ways GMs have only dreamed of. The Content Market will debut in early 2016 with some of your favorite Pathfinder Adventure Paths and Modules, after which we'll begin introducing rules and setting material.

So Why Should You Care?

What sets Realm Works apart from PDFs, Wikis, and other options? Consider just a few ways Realm Works takes digital content to a whole new level:

• Make It Yours—formerly static, published content is now fully customizable, so there's no need for stickies or maintaining separate notes
• Integrates with Your World—seamlessly weave published content into your own campaign, with everything in one convenient place
• Instantly Find Anything—readily explore your realm through extensive links and relationships, full-text searching, and tag-based filtering
• Navigate with Maps—simply click on map pins to view the details of a location, or quickly navigate to the map containing a specific place
• Ready to Share with Players—no more extracting pictures from a PDF, masking out portions of maps, or repeating details multiple times while players take copious notes; reveal details with a few mouse clicks during the game and even let players access material in-between sessions
• Know What's Known—track what information the players have (and haven't) learned with ease, including explored map regions
• Organized for GMs—efficiently access everything needed to run an adventure; Realm Works does all the heavy lifting, converting a traditional module to content that can be readily used at the table
• Instant Session Recaps—review a complete rundown of what the players learned in previous sessions

Customize published content to fit your game	Use maps to find important details about locations
Track what your players discover by clicking the "Reveal" button from grey to green	Content is organized for GMs and by the people, places, events, and things within the world

With Realm Works, your entire world is literally just a few clicks away.

The Next Step

In a few short weeks, we'll be launching our "Realm Works Spotlight Series." This weekly update will outline our Content Market release plans, showcase Pathfinder and other products in Realm Works, and preview key Realm Works features.

See for yourself what the future holds, and sign-up for the Spotlight Series today! In the meantime, you can discover why thousands of GMs rely on Realm Works. Watch our Virtual Tour and get a taste of what Realm Works can already do for your games!

Introducing Pathfinder Class Packs for Hero Lab

Monday, September 7, 2015

Getting started with Hero Lab just got less expensive for players, making it easy to discover for yourself why Hero Lab is Paizo's official, in-house standard for character creation. You can now unlock your favorite classes in Hero Lab with new "Class Packs"—everything from seven essential rulebooks, all for only $29.99!

Each Class Pack unlocks 3-4 Pathfinder classes and includes everything from seven of the most popular Pathfinder rulebooks (see below). For only $29.99, simply choose your favorite Class Pack and start creating characters with the software that just won its third ENnie award. To unlock more classes, you can pick up additional Class Packs for only $6.99 apiece!

How Do Class Packs Work?

• Create and manage characters from the 3-4 classes unlocked by each Class Pack. For example, if you select the Druid Class Pack, you'll unlock the Druid, Oracle, Shaman, and Spiritualist classes, allowing you to build characters from those four classes in Hero Lab.
• Class Packs include everything from seven essential rulebooks: the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook, Advanced Player's Guide, Ultimate Combat, Ultimate Magic, Advanced Class Guide, Occult Adventures, and Ultimate Intrigue (when it releases in spring 2016.) All archetypes for unlocked classes are included, as well as all feats, spells, gear, optional rules, and everything else from those rulebooks—it's all you need to create characters with your unlocked classes.
• Further add-ons like Advanced Race Guide, the Summon Monster creature package, and Player Companion packages can be readily integrated with Class Packs. They are purchased and behave just like they do in Hero Lab today.
• Hero Lab users who already use another game system, like Shadowrun or Mutants & Masterminds, can get started with their first Class Pack for only $20! Simply add the Pathfinder Class Pack option you want to your Hero Lab license through our website.
• For our existing Pathfinder users, if you feel that Class Packs are a better fit for your style, you can switch to the new Class Packs for free! Be sure to review all the details before converting, as it's a one-way, one-time option. The conversion option is also a limited time offer, so don't miss out!

While the info above covers the most important details about Class Packs, we know that many prospective users will have questions and/or want more information. We've provided extensive details on our website, plus we've assembled a comprehensive FAQ. So check out those links to our website learn more!

Already own Hero Lab? Then tell your friends! You can share this blog entry using the social links at the top of the page. Getting started with Hero Lab is more affordable than ever!

Now that I've shared this great news, I'm heading back to prep for my own Pathfinder adventure this weekend. To my fellow gamers out there, may the dice be with you!
