Almost immediately after we launched the open beta, there were people requesting support for importing statistics for tokens from HeroLab. Back in June we added the ability to do this for NPCs, but the process for characters was a little more complicated because of the way SyncRPG was designed. After numerous requests and a bunch of work on the backend, we’re happy to finally announce that SyncRPG now supports HeroLab XML files for your PC tokens as well.

It’s easy to use, and available now! Some users on the forums have been playing around with it for a few weeks, and helping to work out the kinks for you! Head over to My > Characters and click on the Add Character button to see the new tab for HeroLab XML. Supply the XML file, enter a few tags for your character, and you’re on your way.

When it’s time to level up, or if you want to update your statistics, head over to your character’s page and click on the “Tools” tab to reveal a form similar to the one you used the create the character initially. Add to your character in HeroLab each time you level up and add the changes to SyncRPG to store your statistics level by level, with usable VTT tokens for each. To update, all you have to do is upload a fresh XML file with the level you want.

Characters imported this way will have all of the same fields as those that are added to the site through the Google Drive character sheets, and both will continue to be supported here. As the site grows, we hope to support even more ways for users to integrate their RPG tools together using SyncRPG. If you have a preferred digital sheet that we don’t support yet, let us know!
