[QUOTE="Enevhar Aldarion, post: 7720178, member: 6818233"] I just want to say first that this is not directed at you, Dire Bare, but this was a good overall comment to use. :) What a lot of people here wanting, complaining, whining, etc, about this seem to forget is that this would involve WotC and THREE different companies that WotC has no ownership of. They are only licensing the game material to those companies. While I am sure their approval is needed before anything goes live, they cannot just tell these other three companies to work together. Maybe if everyone had gotten their licensing deals at the same time, something could have been included to that effect, but I am sure at least one, or even all three, would have said no to this because they may feel it would hurt their profits. As for D&D Beyond in general, I am not going to put money into it right away. I am going to wait and see what the offline functionality is like. Will it only let me have the program and purchased material active on one device at a time? Or will it let me have it downloaded and usable on multiple devices at the same time? Will being usable on multiple devices be done as part of the $6 rate, the same as with sharing purchased material with 11 other users? Or will we be able to do that at the $3 rate or even the free membership? If this system is included, I would have no need ever for a pdf of the 5E books. [/QUOTE]
