ScottishFox Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 In an effort to support the local gaming store this week I popped in a bought a dusty old 4th edition hard cover Champions book. Man, I have missed 4th edition. I've had fond, nostalgic feelings about 4th edition for decades, but now that I'm thumbing through this dusty old yellow-paged tome - I still love it! It's not like re-watching some movie from childhood and wondering how you ever liked such garbage. 4th edition stands the test of time. Anyone know if there's a dusty old HERO Designer that supports 4th edition characters? Scott Ruggels and DreadDomain 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywind Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 4th was HeroMaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panpiper Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 I've never noticed much difference between the editions from first to fifth. Sixth I am emphatically NOT a fan off, and play it only because other people do. Duke Bushido, ScottishFox, Spence and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never used HeroMaker, I used Creation Workshop (Hero-specific version was called Hero Creator) , which will run under Windows 10 with some update files found here: https://www.alteregosoftware.com/update/index.php#creator They also have a 4e template for Metacreator, but I don't have that software, and the template works with the latest update to the Metacreator product.

Scott Ruggels Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Correct. Heromaker.exe was what came with 4e. It produced the most beautiful 3 column character sheets. I worked on it, but it’s mostly Nicky Robinson’s work. ScottishFox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero Creator will work in Win 10 if you just rag it onto a drive, rather then perform an install. Have used it occasionally until I bought HD.
