[QUOTE="dropbear8mybaby, post: 7722401, member: 6863518"] Cheapskates :p I don't necessarily want my group to use it at the table (although that'd be great and I'm pretty sure at least 2-3 will) or the printouts for their characters. I want it as a means of having a consistent interface and input method for [I]me[/I] to maintain character consistency and coherency. I hate having to use five different sheets filled out halfway or messily and trying to decipher them all just so that I know what the group is capable of and can remember and reference the rules surrounding their character's abilities. Having the players use their free accounts to maintain their characters through an interface I find easy to use and is consistent is a big benefit to me. Not only that, but I'm confident that DDB will get a lot better over time. The devs are really on the ball and getting fixes out very quickly and updating features at a lightning pace. The fact that they're also genuinely listening to all the feedback and working on suggestions and ideas from the community is pretty amazing and, I think, will end up with an amazing tool. So part of me getting in early and insisting players at least maintain their characters there, is also me getting them used to it so that in the future, when there is much greater added value, I can take advantage of those tools without having to get them all invested in it after the fact. They're already working on the campaign management aspect by opening up a wishlist thread. While I'd prefer to see more automation in the character sheet and a combat/initiative tracker done first, it's all gravy to me from here on out. Yeah, this is another aspect I like about it. I get the hard copies that I can keep in pristine condition, and I can ensure I get the collector's editions and maintain the books for the long term. I like having the physical copies 'cause they're pretty and nice to read through, but for use, I don't think anything beats digital at the table. That's where the previously purchased discount comes into play. Keep buying piecemeal until it'll eventually just make sense to buy the Legendary Bundle, even to her :D [/QUOTE]
