[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 7666815, member: 18182"] In my post, I was unnecessarily harsh, sorry about that. I just came from the same discussion on Reddit, which was filled to the rim with histrionic complaints, and I overreacted on your post. Not an excuse, really. I've gone back and edited it, unfortunately after the damage was done. After the first, harsh, line in my post, I was more responding in general. I'll continue here. Many of the complaints about price are ridiculous. If you feel that the pricing is too high for the value, that's fair. Or if you feel the pricing, fair or not, is out of your reach, it's reasonable to be disappointed. But many of the complaints I've seen in this thread and elsewhere act like Fantasy Grounds and/or WotC are trying to scam customers with unfairly high pricing, and that's patently ridiculous! FG is a small company and creating data sets is time intensive, and costly if you are paying someone to do it! And, as it's been pointed out already, you can input the data yourself, if you are willing to put in the time. In regards to how quickly FG will release new data sets for upcoming WotC products, I still think expressing dismay towards FG on "how long" its taken so far is silly. Without any special insider knowledge, I feel pretty safe in assuming that FG did not start working on their D&D licensed data sets until sometime AFTER the Trapdoor Tech licensing arrangement fell through. Which wasn't very long ago, and again, it takes time to code a program to be fully compatible with 5E and than also more time to code data sets for the PHB and MM. The rollout so far, in both price and timeliness, is very reasonable, IMO. [/QUOTE]
