This means that on the 19th of April, when Heroes of Shadows hits shelves, the material will also be available in the Character Builder and Compendium. Going forward, we intend to sync up our DDI updates with our printing schedule whenever possible. Also coming next month we have some improvements on how equipment works in the Character Builder, a summary page, a fix to the A4 printing issue, ritual book information, and we hope to have a new way to view your characters when offline. Last but definitely not least, on March 22nd we'll begin rolling out the new web-based Adventure Tools to all D&D Insiders - starting with the launch of the web-based Monster Builder. At launch the Monster Builder will have 3,700 monsters, including Dark Sun Creature Catalog and Monster Vault entries. DDI members should expect a broadcast/email later today with some more details.
