Yes - that's how you get updates.

That said, HD was removing the campaign rules option to disable that check for 6E builds. I've got the checkbox added back in for the current update (just posted), so you can disable the check as-needed. It won't make much sense either way on Characters, but will let you sell off more than one Figured Characteristic on Vehicles should you need.

I don't believe that the restriction was removed from 6E so much as Figured Characteristics were removed from 6E characters (but remain for Vehicles, with many Characteristics based off of the Vehicle's Size).

Without any details, it sounds like you're running afoul of Windows UAC -- move HD to a directory that you have full access to (not protected by UAC). I'd suggest a folder on your Desktop or Documents directory, if only to verify.

That has not been my experience (thankfully) -- the people are one of the big draws to moving there. I've found over the years that I have a somewhat unique gauge of the general acceptance of people in a given area - how they react to me in a kilt. Examples: Vermont in general wants to be accepting of everything and seem desperate not to give offense, but this causes them to almost pretend that they can't see me as they try too hard to avoid giving any offense. Maine is ridiculously accepting of everything and very outspoken. They welcomed some crazy midwesterner in a kilt and peppered me with questions. Portugal threw me for a loop - a complete non-reaction with the exception of one or two more "unique" individuals that went out of their way to compliment me on it. I had more issues with the French (tourists) than the Portuguese. Extremely welcoming of all people, so long as you respond in kind. To bring things back towards the thread topic, it may be due to the attitudes many Americans come in with -- Portugal has a better political climate from the US in almost all ways and tends to have rather strong opinions about fascism (given their relatively recent past, this isn't a surprise); have an American come in and express certain far-right political views and I can see a pretty negative take from the Portuguese. On the fiscal side, they have an extremely low average income. That is generally compensated by a similarly low cost of living (allowing for an overall high quality of life), but the relatively recent rise of tourism has caused many locals to get priced out of housing in the cities (as more and more places go to AirBnbs).

Portugal, though the specific area has yet to be determined (likely the Algarve).

Could be a bit of both, though I've cut _way_ back from pandemic drinking (lost about 25 pounds in the process). Main bit now is slowly reducing the collection over time -- The Wife and I are planning to do the expat thing within 8-10 years, and it would be needlessly expensive to ship all of that overseas.

That is for the GM to decide based on the nature of the Transform and the Transformed Character's abilities (i.e. the GM's decision based on dramatic and narrative sense).

So any whisky that meets minimum standards?

Either way this unfolds, that is almost certainly true, but folks are trying to interpret this through the very literal fog of war. There are reports in major media of a ceasefire...depending on what you read, attributing it to a full backdown of Wagner, to a temporary pause to prevent unnecessary casualties, to a strategic pause for effect. Even the major journalism outlets are getting it wrong right now - let's not compound that.

In regards to Russia/Wagner: things are going to be unfolding quickly, so I'd urge people to use caution in posts. This is not a site for "you read it here first" news....and in situations like this anything else may be dated and incorrect by the time it's posted. Pause, breathe, and read actual news sites if you want to keep up on this.

That's down to font scaling within Windows...not much that can be done about it in HD.

Dismissing the dialog will simply cause the system to display it again as it doesn't know what you want to do. Disable all push notifications and you should not be prompted again (unless there's an issue with the cookie that the site is setting to track that -- it's still a new system).

There is no "during the attack" - a Surprise Attack is one that the target is not aware of at the time that the Attack Action is made. If there is time before the Attack Action in which the target becomes aware of the impending attack (e.g. the target makes a PER Roll to notice the enemy breaking from cover and closing the distance to the target), then the attack is not a Surprise Attack.

You can't handle the tooth! Sorry...I’ll show myself out...

All files with a .hde extension will show when you click on the directory that contains them. One of two options: 1. You're still not clear on how to click on/select a directory. Based on your recent posts, this is a surprisingly strong candidate for the issue. 2. You don't have any files in your Desktop directory with a .hde extension. Note that your system may be set to hide file extensions, so "ExportTemplate.hde.xml" would be showing as "ExportTemplate.hde" -- HD doesn't care about that, all it cares about is the actual file extension which in that case is .XML (which would prevent the file from being shown). Those are the only two options.

You appear to be intentionally making this difficult. Click on "Desktop" in the left pane. Don't right-click on it for the popup menu that you're showing, just click on it. That's all.

You're not listening/reading. 1. Under "Look In" select "davidwulatin" - just that. DO NOT SELECT DESKTOP UNDER "Look In" -- you don't have any directories beneath your Desktop directory to look in so selecting that isn't helping you. 2. Once you've selected "davidwulatin" under the "Look In" drop down, the left pane will show all sub-directories beneath there, including your Desktop directory. Click on "Desktop" in the left pane. 3. That's it.

Please re-read my last post. You want to Look In /Users/davidwulatin/ -- that's going to show all sub-directories that are readable by Java, including Desktop. Select Desktop in the left panel to see all export formats in that directory (all files with a .hde extension), along with details about the individual export formats (when selected).

Your third image is close, but you still haven't selected the Desktop directory. "Look in" specifies the top-level directory to show folders under. You want /Users/davidwulatin/ for that. The dialog shows all the folders it can see in that directory on the left -- select the one you want (in this case, Desktop) and any matching files (anything with a .hde extension) will be shown on the right.

Why would you navigate to Dropbox.app? This is basic computer usage -- navigate to the directory on your system where you've stored the files. If the files are only stored in Dropbox, then you're going to need a local directory on your system which contains (mirrors) the contents of Dropbox (this is the default behavior of Dropbox). If you've placed a .hde file on your Desktop, then you would point the file dialog to the directory that your system is using for your Desktop (typically /Users/[username]/Desktop). If no files are showing when you navigate to that directory, then there are no files in that directory with a .HDE extension.

It's no different from any other file dialog in that respect - you're going to need to navigate to the directory that you have the .HDE files stored. The top of the dialog has the current directory that you're looking in (and the ability to directly navigate up from there) as well as the common file/directory controls.

May want to try selecting a directory that contains .HDE files...
