Hero Designer Files for the Grimoire -- are they real?

[Michael Hopcroft]

For the last month or so Drive-Thru has been advertising a Hero Designer character pack for the Hero System Grimoire got 6e. You would think that would be in the Hero store as well, but it isn't.

When I visited the Drive-Thru page for the product it gets weirder. The page lists it as a watermarked PDF, much like the e-books that are the bulk of their business. The problem is that every other Hero Designer package I've ever seen is distributed as a Zip file containing all the subfiles (frequently dozens of them) that can be referred to by the software. A PDF file wouldn't be any use whatsoever to the software.

Now I want a Grimoire character pack very much. But what is Drive-Thru actually selling? And is there an actual version in the works that the Hero online store will carry?

Before this goes too far on one front -- there's a HD Character Pack for the HSG already. Some ball simply got dropped somewhere along the line. I just sent it to Jason and he should have it posted for sale sometime in the relative near future.

So it should definitely be real...that said, I haven't heard from anyone who actually bought and downloaded it yet...?
