Dreamscarred Press and Hero Labs


Product Discussion


I just bought the Ultimate Psionics from Dreamscarred Press and it looks great! However I notice that there is no official Hero Labs support for it.

Considering that Hero Labs is the only reason I can actually GM and/or play Pathfinder, I don't think I'll be able to use the Ultimate Psionics book in my campaign.

Is there any chance that there will be official Hero Labs support for this product in the near future? It would make it far more likely for me to purchase other Dreamscarred Press books in the future if it were available for Hero Labs.


There is no official support, but did you already find the unofficial community pack? Setup instructions are at http://forums.wolflair.com/showthread.php?t=51966

We have asked multiple Hero Lab developers for help in creating official Dreamscarred Press Hero Lab files, with no luck. To date, the community pack is all that is available.

If you know someone interested in doing it on a PAID basis, please have them contact me.


Has there been any update on this?

No, there hasn't been. None of the circumstances involved have changed, sadly.


there almost needs to be crowdfunding for just this, lol.

The issue here isn't lack of demand or desire on our part - it's purely on not having someone who knows how to do it.

It's, unfortunately, not something easy to find.


Speaking as someone who's attempted to code some fairly straightforward templates in Hero Lab, I can confirm that it's not easy. It's one thing if you're just creating text that doesn't need to interact with anything else, but if you're changing numbers, tracking points, that sort of thing? It can take time. XD;

It's all nice and shiny on the front end, but behind that is a LOT of complicated coding, and it can be a bit rough even if you have an example to copy from.
