[QUOTE="Samuel Cole, post: 6824314, member: 6668319"] As you probably know, WotC is barely supporting it's 4e DDI tools these days, with no updates to the tools and a rejection of any new customers. We've already switched to playing without the charop guides (which we used largely for whittling down the 1200 feats available during level up), and I'm concerned that the character builder, compendium, etc, are not long for this world, either. Playing 4e without the character builder and compendium doesn't sound easy, and I'm considering switching to 5e after Adventure 9, using the Obscurati ritual as an excuse to restructure the entire world. ("The planets have realigned and now your magic works differently.") Of course, that would cause us to miss out on all the nifty 4e mechanics that the Zeitgeist team has invented for its monsters (I think 4e monsters are WAY more interesting in than 5e monsters), and would require me to re-create every single encounter, using the Pathfinder versions as starting places. What do you think? Doable? Worth it? Terrible idea? [/QUOTE]
