D&D 5E (2014) ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

vecna00 · Mar 7, 2018

I've been out of the loop for a while and had no idea what happened. It does suck, but it's understandable.

Thank you, Forged, for all of your hard work on making something awesome!

Thanks Forged for all the work on an excellent product.

Good luck and hope that you can publish again soon.

So sorry to hear that Hasbro hit you with the DMCAHammer. :-( This was a fabulous character creator.

It still is. Nothing is stopping FA from making this tool, as making and using it for personal use falls under the fair use clause (or so I assume, not being a lawyer myself). The problem is distributing it, because it contains copyrighted and protected material. To make it fully compliant with what WotC/Hasbro allows, and yet make it fairly easy for the user to re-add that material, is a huge task and I do not know if FA is up for the task given his RL time issues.

I hope that FA is already talking with WotC/Hasbro to work something out. If so, he isn't talking. Probably can't talk about it IF he is working on something (lawyers, again).

Shoot! Sorry to see this. Thanks for all of your efforts FA!

Darn, sad to see this has gotten hit with a take-down. Guess I'll have to make due with the 1.53 version I dug out of my downloads from forever ago...

Pretty sure somebody can hook you up with the current version, if you want.

Probably not me, though.

1.53 is ancient...that is before I started using the tool!

So sad :/ Hard to find a good generator which is free...

With the emphasis on "GOOD." I wouldn't even mind paying for a GOOD one. I stated previously I thought the 4e one Wizards was very good, laid out well, easy to use, and I paid the yearly fee for that and the other content on the site. The current business model for Beyond is certainly beyond me.
