I agree. I already use the Encounter Builder and find it useful-- mostly because of the easy access to a group of stat blocks with all the lovely rules cross referencing. But the Combat Tracker needs a couple more features before it would be worth it (to me) to not just use a sheet of paper to...

So a few observations (some repeated from the other thread): 1) I have found (my opinion) that the core functionality of DDB to be stable, very easy to use, and very helpful at the table. I use it as a rules reference all the time and barely crack the books anymore. The integration across the...

Absolutely. I think their strategy has been to build polished, easy to use, blocks at each stage rather than try to get all the functionality in all at once. And they pointedly never promise features before they are actively working on them. And this strategy has completely worked on me for two...

I'll just say that I think that in each arena they decide to play in that they do a better job than the current offerings. That's totally my opinion. I understand why others might not agree. But I suspect I'm not the only one. AD

This is totally true. And I totally use Roll20. However-- for me-- long term, I'd rather shift my operations over to DDB entirely. I find (--my opinion--) that the rules reference, the character sheet, the character building, the encounter building are all far better experiences in DDB than in...

So, on these topics, it's worth pointing to their public roadmap: https://trello.com/b/vIKxuEs8/dd-beyond-feature-roadmap There is a player app that is approaching beta. It will be separate from the ereader app that is currently available. To start with, it will have the ability to display...

Well. It would be game changing in a literal sense. But I see you point AD

Could just be the encounter tracker or dice rolling functionality they have been working on. AD

I think it's interesting that they are starting to try out the 'fix' for bonus action scarcity. Mearls had come around to thinking that it was really mostly an issue with two weapon fighting. It's nice to see the little rider in the Fey Wanderer Dreadful Strikes ability. AD

I think they've been trying to make things happen behind the scenes. Nathan Stewart occasionally makes vague comments to that effect. Things just move slow in that arena for them. Probably having a lot to do with lawyers and licensing. AD

As it happens . . .

Did you guys see that it got to #3 in books? I mean, I'm not surprised it is doing well. But holy mackerel . . . AD This message brought to you by someone who will definitely not be getting involved in a messageboard back and forth about whether there is any way ever to tell whether a book...

Wow. That's pretty hard for me to take right now.

<accidental post in wrong thread>

Honestly, while I hear what you're saying, I think that would be jumping down a rabbit hole. I've rarely seen people satisfied with their explanations, and that would be even more true if it was entirely a business decision. I suspect projects get started and stopped all the time, some of them...

I doubt it. I mean, there's no way to know for sure, but I'll say that my first assumption on seeing the wizard subclass was that it definitely wasn't a replacement for the psion. Partly this is because what they are doing is completely in line with the strategy Mearls was contemplating back...

I think this is a function of them truly not realizing how the UA would be interpreted. They have their noses in it, so to them if they are presenting a wizard subclass that isn't called 'psion' then why would anyone think that it's a psion? And just because they have psionic subclasses, why...

And here is the most explicit comment from Jeremy yet:

And further grist for the mill . . . AD

So in the latest Dragon+ stream, right at the end, Jeremy briely mentions that there is plenty of space for psionically themed subclasses even if there's a full class. This is obviously true. And he makes no promises about a psion class. But the way he talks about it is very far from suggesting...
