The convenience of the character builder and dice roller integrated on the screen just helps.

I’d like to try Level Up. I own it all but I do not have a physical group right now so that kills it.

That is my biggest issue with any game right now not on DDB.

I have not used any other VTT so not sure if anyone else offers the simple interface of character sheet that allows linked rolls to a campaign group.

They do. For example, we have Level Up Gateway. I'm sure other games have their own, or they're on Demiplane. I imagine you'll find in a few years that most games have this functionality, whether in-house or on a hosted platform.

Classes are the hardest thing for them to put in char gen, and I think they charge a lot for them. Which is why there are only a handful (Artificer, blood hunter, gunslinger, illrigger and soon pugilist) that have been done.

It would seem that if you can do one. You can do all of them.

So pumped!

I will totally pay for ExEb again. But I'd love to buy an updated physical copy too.

that’s like saying that if your factory can build pickup trucks it should be able to also churn out F1 racing cars. It really depends on the details / class mechanics

How so? Class ability X happens at level Y.

If all you need is some text you can attach to a level then yes, if ability X starts changing some numbers on your char sheet then no

I’ll have to try gateway again. It was only a character builder last time I used it.

Hence the "picking winners" thing that feels weird for WotC to do.

At a guess, I would think that "picking winners" has a lot more to do on the business side of things than the creative one. Not that these aren't creative products, I don't mean that at all. But, I imagine things like "hits deadlines" and "is available when needed" and all that sort of stuff that becomes just oh so much fun when working with freelancers makes a HUGE difference as to whether something gets picked up.

Well, these are pre-existing products and WotC does all the work to bring them over to DDB. There's no freelancers involved.

Having watched the level of kludging that needs to be done just to make bog standard PHB classes work in Fantasy Grounds (it takes fan made add ons just to get things like Blade Ward to function, for example) I think it's fair to say that it's a LOT more complicated than people realize to add in new classes.
