But, since I happen to have been fairly obsessively following their progress (yes, I know. I could spend my time better), I can partly answer some of your questions:1) Twitch: They are a twitch owned company. They are twitch. Therefore their login is through twitch. 2) They are planning a lot of feature additions down the road. From what I understand, it will launch with the following:  --A compendium that is fully searchable with a host of nice filters. I've found this very useful at the table. There are SRD sites that have similar functionality, but the layout and search filters are above and beyond anything else I've used. Just the tooltips where within a spell description you can hover over another rules element (like a condition caused by the spell) and get a summary to pop up is surprisingly useful. It will offer the SRD/Basic/Elemental companion for free. Any books or pieces of books you buy will be fully integrated into the compendium and character builder. I'm pretty sold on this part.-- fully functional easy to use character builder and accompanying digital character sheet. Character sheet will be exportable and printable. The digital sheet is usable on a computer, tablet, and even on a phone. They've done a pretty good job even with the small phone format on making the character sheet usable. They are still improving the builder, which is what I'm watching. It's pretty good now but there are definite improvements I expect (and need) to see before launch. -- Homebrew tools that let you create any spells, magic items, monsters and subclasses you like (subclass part hasn't appeared in the beta yet). These homebrew items are available for you and those in your campaign. You can make them available publicly for other groups (though they have to be approved before they'll be released to avoid IP problems)-- Bare bones campaign manager. At this point it is mostly a platform that allows you to invite other players to your campaign. Let the DM see and edit player sheets. It also has barebone campaign notes. Some that are visible to players, and some that aren't. This is clearly just putting a stake in the ground for what they have planned down the road.Future features that I've seen mentioned:-- mobile apps with offline functionality-- encounter builder, intiative tracker, and other tools that let you track things at the table while your playing. Conditions, spell durations, etc.-- export capability for character sheets to Fantasy Grounds and Roll20-- many more campaign management tools (not clear exactly what those are yet)-- twitch stream integration (of no interest to me)There's probably other stuff. But that's what I got.AD</blockquote>
