The file still doesn’t show when I do that. You’re getting frustrated so I’m going to stop now. Thank you for trying.

Okay, this is as far as I can get after clicking on desktop. I can see the time stamp on when I added the file to the desktop, after selecting desktop/view/details. But the available section is still blank. I don’t know why the .HDE file doesn’t show.

I don’t know what else to tell you. That photo shows I did select desktop after choosing users/DavidWulatin. Here’s another shot that shows the dialog tree. The file saved in desktop does not appear.

Sorry, second and third pics were out of order. The other pic shows the lack of matching files on the right after desktop is selected:

First photo: image of the .HDE file in my desktop. Second photo: this is what I see in HD when I try to select export template with “Look in (my name).” Third photo is what I see after clicking on the desktop option in the second photo. Edit: sorry, second & third photos should be switched.

Appreciate your help, but I can’t figure this out. I have an export template stored in several different places. Example: I have one in Dropbox. I can navigate to Dropbox.app, which shows a file labeled contents, which has 6 files: _codesignature, frameworks, macOS, plug-ins, resources, XPCSerices. Some of these are blank, some have additional files. I can’t find any trace of the template. I even tried copying the template into desktop, but the desktop option in the select export template doesn’t have it. it’s been years since I downloaded any templates but I don’t remember it being this difficult.

The directory with the .HDE is not an option I can select from the Select Export Template window.

Those options take me to a "Select Export Template" window with a list of empty files: applications, desktop, documents, downloads, etc. with a an "available" box that's blank and a description box that says "Please select a directory which contains export templates (.HDE files) That's why I thought I had to drag the files into one of those folders because they're all blank even though I can see some of the templates I downloaded when I look in finder.

How do I load the export formats into HD?

It’s been a long time since I used HD and this my first time using it on a Mac. I can’t seem to load any of the .HDE files into HD. There’s many file options under “select export template” but I can’t drag the downloaded template into any of them. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Re: CHAMPIONS VILLAINS -- What Do *You* Want To See? I think there were some interesting villains in Shadows of the City and Underworld Enemies that have been lost in the shuffle since Dark Champions became pretty much supers-free with the 5th edition. Specifically the Nocturnals and Reverend M's organization in the former, and the Saietta crime family in the latter. Reverend M wouldn't necessarily have to keep his street orgins, but a superpowered evangelist with the power to "heal" (and give powers to) his flock could be a great villain, especially if given some political aspirations as well. The Nocturnals and/or Saiettas could need some heavy reworking, as one cannibalistic supervillain group might be enough. Come to think of it, they could even be combined: the Saiettas are the human-looking offspring, while the Nocturnals are the "Defective" children. As far as solo villains go, I'd love to see the Weasel from Hi-Tech Enemies again. He's one of the few NPC villains that still really inspires a feeling of dread in my players. Thanks for the opportunity to weigh in! Edited to add: I'm not sure if that counts as asking for "new" villains as per your op. If it does, I apologize. As far as making the book more useful, I do enjoy the suggestions to make villains more or less powerful. Conversion ideas from Champions to Dark Champions in 5th ed. hwere often less effective, as often it was all or nothing: "Take away the Dark Mage's Wand of Despair and give him a shotgun."

Re: Pulling Authority & Other Genres Didn't see this when it first started, but I think one reason that we expect our superheroes to not kill is that they often have the power to stop crime, catch the bad guys, etc., without killing. In other genres, from sword & sorcery to James Bond superspies, this usually isn't an option. Bullets and blades are legitimate threats, so kill or be killed situations come up much more often.
