Hi Dan.  The 06302020 update still contains the old documentation with Print to PDF instructions.

I just wonder why I'm still classified as a "New Member" after being here for 16 years.  Babies born when I joined the board are driving now!  🙂

I'm running a Fantasy Hero campaign set in the Hyborian Kingdoms, so I created a Hero Designer prefab with many different coins from several kingdoms with their relative values. It is easily adaptable to any fantasy setting, and can be downloaded here:

I based everything off the generic "silver piece" where 1SP = $1.00.  Feel free to adjust values accordingly.

I was going through my old collection of GURPS Traveller starship sourcebooks and I noticed they included hex-based deckplans in addition to the square-grid ones.
 
Given the lack of existing deckplans for Star Hero, these could be a valuable resource and an excellent companion to Traveller HERO.  Here is a sample Free Trader deckplan:

Trying to do my part introducing new players to HERO.  Running on Roll20:  Cthulhu HERO (Pulp), Hyborian HERO (Fantasy), Traveller HERO (Star Hero), Cyber HERO (Kazei 5), and Post-Apocalypse HERO (Using Danger International). Only 3 marathon sessions per year, but 3>0!

"Print to PDF" functionality has been removed in a recent Hero Designer update.  It was a bolt-on feature from an independent developer, and there were compatibility issues with recent versions of Java.  You can use one of the many Export Formats available in the Downloads section of this website.

6E does away with the concept of hexes and inches and just uses meters for movement, distances, weapon range, area of effect etc.  Feel free to use whatever scale you wish for hex maps.

I am pushing the 1.6.1 build into production for Android and iOS as I write this.  This build continues to add support for loading 5th edition characters directly from Hero Designer files and addresses a serious crash to desktop bug.
 
Patch notes:
Added in support for 5th edition specific powers such as Find Weakness Added support for Elemental Controls Added support for 0 point characteristics with advantages A warning message now appears when importing an XML character Fixed a couple of display issues with Compound Powers Fixed a bug with equipment which were created as Compound Powers Using the XML export template and loading that character into the app is officially deprecated at this point.  At some point in the future I will be removing support for it entirely.. the warning message will stay in place until that time.
 
The new build should start showing up on your devices later today or tonight depending on how fast they receive approval.
 
Due to how characters are imported now I would recommend you re-import your characters, especially for 5th edition characters or characters using equipment.

Finally found the issue after spending all night banging my head against the wall.  Very annoying bug to track down but it's been squashed.
 
I also fixed an unrelated display issue with compound powers while I was in there.
 
I'll see about pushing a build over the weekend.

Also, make sure you have a recent version of Java installed.

Wow, the book trailer is still online.
Blast from the past.
