Lone Wolf Development will release Hero Lab character management software supporting the new 3rd edition of Mutants and Masterminds (see “New Sourcebooks for Mutants & Masterminds”).  A beta version of the new Hero Lab package will be released at Gen Con this week; users will get a free update to the final data set when the Mutants & Masterminds 3rd Edition Hero’s Handbook is released this fall.  Hero Lab software automates the mechanical elements of character design, allowing players to focus on the concept and adventures of their hero.
