[QUOTE="Bagpuss, post: 5372584, member: 3987"] I'm confused, do you mean they no longer need to do updates or they no longer need to produce new tools? As it is they haven't produced new tools they have just redesigned an old one. Seems to me they still need to... a) update the web-character builder (ongoing). b) finish the web-character builder (just to get it somewhere near as useful as the old builder). c) redesign the monster-builder to make it web-based (not what I want but obviously what wizards want). d) update the monster-builder (ongoing). e) work on new tools. Wasn't me that said that, WotC did in their podcast, pretty clear that was their main reason. Guess we'll have to take their word for that, seems the Dark Sun update wouldn't be any more challenging than the spellshard stuff they all ready added. Fair enough a redesign might well have been needed for Essentials as that changes the basics of how characters work. Perhaps for one package, but they have three, and they can't even seem to manage those, they are also meant to be developing new tools. [/QUOTE]
