While the Realms is my preferred campaign setting---the ToEE has always been an iconic Greyhawk adventure. I am a bit saddened to see it ported over---though I will hold any criticism until the actual release of the product. What I really DON'T want to see happen is for the ToEE to start...

I loved the 3/3.5 Quintessential series. The 3.5 Quintessential Ranger was one of my favorite sourcebooks. I have lost track of Mongoose since then---perhaps because I didn't get too into 4e and am now stalled on 5e due to a lack of a digital aide. From the post it looks like they have...

With all due deference to the Guvnor---I don't think the full Dragonlance Chronicles novels lend themselves well to a movie. Dragons of Autumn Twilight has a nice, straightforward plot and good character development---but after that things get convoluted fast. Explaining the 'Everman' and other...

My desperately bleak prediction---is that there will not be an official digital game aide released for D&D. WoTC will again squander an opportunity to bring in tween/teen/twenty+ gamers and cement ties with digital savvy older gamers. This will cap over a decade of blunders in this area. Ugh.

Also---'Expedition to Undermountain'? It was perhaps a bit overwhelming as a module---but it provided a dearth of material that Forgotten Realms groups could return to again and again.

Lord, I miss good modules. Reading them alone was inspiring---playing them was divine. My group started 'Against the Giants' and wanted to move on to the Underdark--->Queen of the Demonweb Pits, but we never got to them. My most recent group got through a good chunk of the 'Red Hand of...

This is nice, but I agree that Herolab's pricing can get expensive fast. Also--while OGL level stuff is always nice---I am a big time Forgotten Realms fan and WoTC rarely lets those type of datasets get produced by 3rd party digital game aides. Would still prefer an officially licensed...

I am not about to disagree with you, Morrus. You and EN World have opened up the door for me to enjoy gaming again after a long hiatus. If you are behind these guys---that is good enough for me. I will head over to their kickstarter, give a pledge, and hope for the best.

Sorry if this is a repeat---but I just saw that I can "Ignore iwarrior-poet" (myself) when looking at my own posts. Best feature ever?

Yeah... To my mind this still doesn't explain why they need $400k. If they had an iOS version ready for release under 5e---they should only have to do a rules change for the CharGen portion of a Pathfinder App. Now I am not a programmer---but I really, really doubt it would cost too much (or...

Well, I really do wish them luck. Lord knows I would love to (finally) have a comprehensive digital game aide---particularly one that runs on iOS, but having been burned QUITE a lot of times in this area---I will wait until after the product is finished and reviewed.

If their iOS app was ready for submission, why do they need another $400k?

I wish them luck, but their Kickstarter goals (both $$$ and timeline), don't seem realistic. If they are successful---I will buy in.

Well... All I can say is that after 15+ years of waiting for a good, comprehensive digital game aide with full WoTC backing and data access (Forgotten Realms), I am bitterly, bitterly disappointed. Although I wish Trapdoor well---I cannot help but also feel angry at them. They promised a product...

Seriously?!? SERIOUSLY?!? I have been waiting for a good set of digital tools since 2nd Edition. This is absolutely ludicrous. WoTC has squandered another opportunity to bring Tabletop D+D to MILLIONS of new players through iOS and Android supportive apps. I have lived through E-Tools, CMP's...

Just roll a lot of natural 20's on those stealth, pick-lock and bluff checks...

I bow to your advanced code-knowledge wizardry---and have no idea what you are saying. (hence the bow to hide my "What the...." facial expression)

Hadn't heard they were going to do that--nice! But I doubt it will make a difference in any iOS/Android type app---since that app will have been done by an outside developer who most likely will want to get paid for every download/purchase. It would have been to WoTC's advantage to structure...

While I might agree with a LOT of what you say---particularly on allowing 3pp and Joe Schmoe to create their own stuff and then offer it for sale with a percentage going to WotC---I really, really doubt any of that will happen. WoTC will want to have even the entry level books bring in some...

Geez. I didn't think this conversation would get so far, so fast, and down such a particular topic (rather than say---types of interfaces). Silly me, this is a forum after all... :p I hadn't gone so far as a cost/benefit analysis---but in general I would prefer to own my datasets/PC...
