[QUOTE="Osgood, post: 7654912, member: 32792"] I was in the iOS beta, and I can say it was significantly better than the web beta. I can't say for sure if it would have lived up to the promise, as the DM tools weren't ready yet, but I had high praise for what was implemented. That said, I won't be backing it because I don't play Pathfinder, and despite the claim that the system doesn't matter for a tool like this, I think it absolutely does (and if the system really doesn't matter, why bother with the PSRD any way?). For my players, the biggest draw was having full details on spell, feats, and rules available at the tap of a button (and while I am sure the ability to manually enter such things will be included, most in my group consider that more of a hassle than thumbing through a book). For me, as a DM, having all (or most of) the monsters, traps, hazards, and magic items items ready to drop into an adventure is what I care about... without that system-specific information embedded, the tool is not much better than a Word document I load onto my iPad. I wish Trapdoor the best of luck, and hope things pan out for them. If a 5E OGL allows the tool to meet my needs, I will happily make room in the budget. Until then, it's of no use to me. [/QUOTE]
