    [UPDATED!] D&D Beyond: An Official D&D Digital Toolset & Character Builder

    It's not a matter of checking for the purchase. The profit from the books never benefited Fantasy Grounds, Roll20, Curse in anyway. They are separate companies offering software tools via a licensed model. They have to pay for that license AND they have to cover their costs of building and...

    [UPDATED!] D&D Beyond: An Official D&D Digital Toolset & Character Builder

    Sounds like you want Hero Lab. The 5e Community Pack already has 90% of the Unearthed Arcana. Just the mechanics but it's functional. You can reverse changes simply by undoing what ever you just did. I've heard FG has a way to import from HL also. Hero Lab 5e also has a custom monster race...

    I wasn't aware anyone was discussing price yet since its an unknown.

    [UPDATED!] D&D Beyond: An Official D&D Digital Toolset & Character Builder

    Yup which is where we start to define the D&D5e crowd into two different markets. Even 3. * people who play at a real table only * people who play via a VTT only * people who do both Now when you are sitting down and designing and setting up a pricing structure for a tool such as this you...

    [UPDATED!] D&D Beyond: An Official D&D Digital Toolset & Character Builder

    Lol which takes me back to this: Why would you need another application to create and manage characters? Why would you need another application to manage combat? Why would you need another application to look up information? I'm absolutely interested. I run a channel dedicated to testing...

    [UPDATED!] D&D Beyond: An Official D&D Digital Toolset & Character Builder

    Mate just having discussion. Personally I've seen lots of FG and Roll20 users posting negative feedback on this tool because it doesn't cater specifically to their needs. Which is confusing to me because it's quite clear just by looking at what it offers that it's not designed for the VTT...

    [UPDATED!] D&D Beyond: An Official D&D Digital Toolset & Character Builder

    Yeah but only because they specifically don't want to call out that they are not designing this to compete with the VTT market. You only need to ask yourself a few questions to confirm that this product is not designed for the VTT market. Can you create characters in the VTT? Can you manage...

    [UPDATED!] D&D Beyond: An Official D&D Digital Toolset & Character Builder

    The market they have said they are aiming this product at: The VTT market has different requirements and is already covered by Roll20 and Fantasy Ground.

    [UPDATED!] D&D Beyond: An Official D&D Digital Toolset & Character Builder

    Simply because the market they are aiming this at doesn't need or want the digital table element. It's over kill and takes away for the game for us.

    Pretty sure I covered it actually with [/COLOR]The point being that it's a choice, it can be a bloody expensive hobby, or not, up to the individual.

    [UPDATED!] D&D Beyond: An Official D&D Digital Toolset & Character Builder

    See i don't get this. I keep seeing the VTT crowd posting with "why doesn't this do anything for me". If you are playing via FG or Roll20 then this tool is not designed for you. You can do this on FG or Roll20. You're meant to do this on FG or Roll20. If you are playing via the internet via...

    A New Digital Direction for Wizards?

    I will update this comment to state that I believe their sales would increase if they offered PDFs for sale. Everyone pirates the PDFs currently out of necessity. Why not let people pay you for them. There will be less piracy than there is now.

    A New Digital Direction for Wizards?

    PDF's are so easy to pirate. I get why they have allowed it inside digital distribution methods as they have mechanisms in place to stop people sharing the content.

    A New Digital Direction for Wizards?

    It would be idiotic for WOTC to try and create their own D&D software IMO. Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds have shown that licensing out to companies that have already spent years developing software solutions is the way to go. There are plenty of great software solutions on the market already. All...

    New Digital Games Studio announced by the president of Wizards of the Coast

    Mate what you just described is exactly what Realm Works is. They just released the ability to export and import content. What this means is right now I have a file that contains the entire Storm King's Thunder module. The story, maps (with pins on them for content connected to that location)...
