[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 5344085, member: 115"] I'm meeting this news with guarded pessimism, for a couple of reasons. The big one is that WotC doesn't have the greatest track record with digital offerings. Aside from the CB and Compendium, I've found all the rest of their offerings (including the MB) to be quite buggy. Their non-Compendium tools are particularly bad, and even the Compendium I've had issues with. So when they say they're working on web-based tools, that doesn't fill me with the least bit of confidence. More importantly though, from the tone of the post, it sounds as if they've decided to scrap the CB/MB completely. Aside from the fact that I think the CB is a good tool, the very idea that they've (apparently) decided to change course this far in is yet another sign to me that WotC's digital department is experiencing serious problems. I would very much like to be surprised by WotC. I would love a web-based system in addition to the offline programs. Barring that, I would love a web-based system that was as good as the current tools. However, very little WotC has done, especially in the last year, gives me any sort of hope that this will happen. Hence, guarded pessimism. [/QUOTE]
