[QUOTE="Liminosse, post: 4638417, member: 82177"] I tried DDi for one month only, just to see if it was worth the money. At this point i figured it probably has very few useful features and I wouldn't renew my subscription. I expected to be disappointed, at least until the game table comes out ( 42 LCD tv im gonna be using as an in house program as opposed to an online), after finding my way through some of the features like the monster creator and the encounter creator I began to see why DDi was so useful. I still didn't think it was worthy of my 5-7$ a month, then i found the compendium. Nice, i thought, all the rules in one place, then i realized it even contains all the information for pretty much every 4th ed book and magazine published to date, even the ones I have yet to purchase. That sold me on it at that point, a search engine capable of pulling all the resources from all the books together without having to turn a single page or search for a specific book. To be able to see all the feats available to a specific character at a specific level in one easy list, it is a dream come true. Stack that on top of the upcoming completion of the Character Builder and i for one can say that DDi is most defiantly worth more then 5$ a month to me, even without the gametable. It has really improved the quality of the game for myself and my players. Liminosse Starstone [/QUOTE]
