[Hero Lab]: Free character creation software for the Pathfinder Beginner Box Coming Soon!

[JRyan]

For everyone who’s planning to pick up the Beginner Box, we've got great news. We’ll be releasing a new version of Hero Lab that’s designed exclusively for the Beginner Box before Christmas. The even better news is that we’ll be offering it for FREE!

This streamlined version of Hero Lab will allow you to easily create, save and print characters using the Beginner Box classes, as well as the new class introduced in the Beginner Box Player Pack. Hero Lab’s intuitive interface will quickly walk you through all the stages of character creation and validate your character meets all its requirements. With Hero Lab, you’ll be ready to play after only a few minutes.

For GMs out there, we’ll also be including monster stats from the Beginner Box and the GM Kit, giving you all the information you need to quickly create your NPCs and encounters. Hero Lab’s Tactical Console will also be available to help you run encounters during the game. Cut down your preparation times and spend more time playing!

Hero Lab for the Beginner Box will be available on both Windows and Mac. Stay tuned for future announcements on our website and newsletter as we get nearer to officially releasing this new tool before the holidays.

Well, I already own every Pathfinder data package on herolabs, but that is great to hear :) HeroLabs is a brilliant piece of software. Glad you guys are doing this.

Just love that word, "free". :)

Very awesome!

This is fantastic news. I'm planning to give the BB to several nephews and this will be the perfect complement.

Awesome!

Very cool. Very shrewd business move.

I have been hesitant to pick up HeroLab, but if this proves useful I could see my way to changing my mind.

Yet another reason I am glad I picked up the beginner box...and as a Mac user this will give me the perfect opportunity to demo your software!

Very nice move!

PS. I will be picking up the Mac version of Army Builder as well when its ready!

Thanks for your interest. At this time, we won’t be taking any additional applications for beta testers as we have a full slate of participants. If something happens and we need additional assistance, we’ll let everyone know on our forums.

[ElyasRavenwood]

your welcome. I can't wait to get my grubby little paws on a native mac version of hero lab!

My hats of to you - this is both good for the Paizo gaming community AND will act as a gateway to your product.

A bravo and a thank you.
