[QUOTE="Shadowsong666, post: 4745091, member: 71808"] ok - so how long until they realize that with the character builder you do not need most of the books anyway? Everything based around characer creation is in the character builder - everything the majority needs and wants when buying a book or pdf... the only things missing are fluff stuff and campaign setting material. Every item, power, class feature, feats, race is in the builder. Why should a "player only" DnD gamer buy a book/pdf if he gets everything for just a small fee with the character builder? But lets see what the next step is... Create a new subscription model for the character builder so that you only get an update if you have bought it? Wanna use arcane power stuff in the character builder? buy it. Wanna use divine power stuff in the character builder? buy it. Have bought the arcane power book and use the stuff inside your book in the character builder? well, buy it again. I just feel robbed of easily going digital with my DnD stuff in the future. Back to the old way then - someone seen my scanner? There is just no way that i will get back to hurling around 10 books for a session if can simply grab my netbook and go off gaming the whole night... sorry WotC. I don't want to live in the 20th century anymore. [/QUOTE]
