Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jester David" data-source="post: 7654845" data-attributes="member: 37579">I want to get excited about this but I can't.I already have HeroLabs for Pathfinder, so a new PF related character builder is unnecessary. And I was utterly unimpressed by the web "beta" (read "alpha"). Not just the staggering amount of bugs but seeming lack of progress, as simple errors went unfixed for the entire beta. I imagine a lot of the $425k asking price will be the cost to get the wealth of Pathfinder data into the builder, which is a staggering amount of content at the moment. And if the builder doesn't contain the splatbooks it's not particularly useful. Going with the PRD and promising Pathfinder (instead of OGL and generic) might hurt Morningstar more than it helps.What I am interested in and curious about is the Forge, which is the big selling feature of the product but seems to be the one being held back. And it's implied in the rewards that there'll be some kind of subscription service for the Forge, as some of the rewards say "Forge access for a year." Yeah, I'm not playing a monthly fee. Everything else, the character builder and digital play around the table... that's just a distraction. The price is likely the killer. The asked for funds are also super high. And $50 is steep for the necessary GM price. I imagine access to the advanced modules requires that (but the kickstarter page is vague). And getting my players to all chip in $25 is unlikely. $150 for a table to participate? Not going to happen.</blockquote>
