D&Di - Monster Builder Beta Launch Announced

...and it is tomorrow 7/30/09! The Beta of the Monster Builder will be available for download for D&D Insider's. There is a new forum on the WotC boards with some more info.

My guess is it will be up in the afternoon Pacific Stand Time

Yeah, pretty much the same except you do need to be a subscriber (no demo version) it uses .net 3.5, you'll need sp1, 5 keys per month...

This monday my players will meet a whole bunch of crisp new monsters, not just the 1d3+1 (reskins, remakes and totally new) ones I usually make for that campaign!

At the sound of the tone it will be: Thursday 30 July, 3:30 a.m....
DING!

Where's that monsterbuilder

Ahh I'm a bad reader too.

In my defence he did mention the 29/07, which is yesterday according to my calendar...

Jumping on it now.... w00t! Thanks!

If this works half as well as promised (when done -- I'm not going to hold the beta to an unreasonable standard, I know "beta" is not Greek for "Free And Perfect", as some people (namely whiny fanboys on MMORPG boards) seem to think it is...), it will make the Abyss Project (see sig) much easier -- I might even get done before 2020!
