I actually prefer PC Gen (although I use Combat Manager for Initiative tracking, etc.), though in part it's a philosophical thing as I dislike Hero Lab's DRM philosophy and decided I no longer wish to support the product (the license activation in my personal experience is a PITA. In comparison, my Hero Lab will get used for the entire life that I'm playing Pathfinder - and that's already measured in years, not just hours. Sometimes, that's a game with 40+ hours of content/play time, but typically, it's 8-10. Also, when I buy a new video-game, I'm shelling out $50-$60 a pop. (I also like having a PDF version of a physical book b/c when I'm brainstorming while watching TV, I don't have to bring my library anymore. I don't consider it buying the books again. Nothing says you have to buy everything at once any more than you must buy every rulebook all at once. The interface is intuitive and allows me to create detailed NPCs (which I love to have rather than abbreviated versions) in no time.Īs for the price tag, buy it over time. It's the officially supported product, which is nice (not essential, but nice). oh and the full support of PFS in the Herolab program is awesomesauce. By the looks of the demo though you get full functionality from the feats and spells in herolab vs cliff's note versions in pcgen. with a little added patience as its all volunteer. Any reasons, or it's just the one you tried first? I've tried the demo of herolab, but the price tag (30 for the program, 10 for the apg, 10 for ultimate magic, 10 for ultimate combat and like 40 dollars for all the splats.) like 100 dollars all told make me feel like I'm buying the books all over again, vs pcgens price tag of free or the same things.
