Hi everyone, Ever since we released for Windows three years ago, people have requested a version that runs natively on Mac OS. Hero Lab works great under Boot Camp, Parallels, Virtual PC, etc, but Mac users (quite reasonably) want to run Hero Lab on their native operating system, without having to reboot or buy a Windows license. We're actively investigating a number of porting options, and some are simply too costly to consider for a company our size. However, there is one option that we are seriously considering, and we need to better gauge the demand before we go ahead with it. If you are a Mac user, and you don't own Hero Lab yet, would you purchase the product if a native Mac version were available? Please note that the following restrictions would apply: 1) The application would likely only run under 'Tiger' (OS X 10.4), not earlier versions. 2) The application would look and behave exactly the same as it does under Windows, with the exception of things like the main menu.

The user interface would not be rewritten for the mac. 3) All features would work on Mac OS exactly as they do on Windows. There would be no functionality difference between the Mac and Windows versions. Hero Lab currently supports Mutants & Masterminds, Pathfinder, the d20 System, World of Darkness (Vampire & Changeling), 4th edition, Cortex System, and Savage Worlds - all of these game systems would be available within the Mac version. Given these conditions, would you purchase Hero Lab if you haven't already done so? If you're a Mac user who's interested in using Hero Lab, now's your chance to show it. Please let us know if you'd buy Hero Lab if it was available for the Mac.

Would it require a separate purchase? I took a quick look at HeroLab on Windows. I don't think I'd be too worried about the non-Mac UI. Character generators always have idiosyncratic UIs and I've become resigned to that.

If it were ported over, I think it would be a strong contender to PCGen on the Mac. I would probably purchase it, because it has far more frequent pathfinder updates than PCGen. For instance, Hero Lab has Council of Thieves content, and I had to add that manually to PCGen. The most important items for me would be:. Performance would need to be good, even on my Macbook Air. PDF output would need to work.

Printing would need to work. I could work around this if PDF output worked, but for a commercial sheet generator, I think this is a core requirement. I am pleased to see that Lone Wolf offers a secondary license tied to the first so that I could run it on both my laptop and desktop machine. That's important to me. For people concerned about the application looking too 'windows-like', here's a screenshot of a Pathfinder character (click image for bigger): Hero Lab uses its own stylized interface, not native windows controls, so it shouldn't really 'feel like' a windows application. (For the mac port, the menu bar would appear at the top of the screen like all mac applications.) For people who are concerned about the GUI being too 'windows-ish', does that reassure you?

If there are any mac users who have had experience of Hero Lab on PC or running in a virtual machine, I'd be interested in hearing your opinions on this. Thanks for your feedback, everyone!
