[QUOTE="D'karr, post: 6099227, member: 336"] I haven't used the online only digital tools for a very long time. Except for the compendium there was nothing that I absolutely, positively needed. Since they are not publishing new "rules", I don't even really NEED that. The tools are an incredibly awesome convenience. However, I don't have a NEED for the online only ones, as I had alternatives. Over time I've become so comfortable with the system that, as a DM, I don't feel a need for the tools. I can use a ready made creature right out of the book, or create my own on the fly by using the table on pg 42 as a rudimentary, and quite solid guide. I've kept trucking with the offline tools. If I did not have the offline tools I could continue without much issue as a DM, as a player I admit that the character builder is too awesome and convenient not to have. So it would be much more difficult. I'm really glad that they started putting the Dungeon and Dragon magazines as compilations again over the last couple of months. When they went to individual articles, without compilation, they lost my interest entirely. So when my subscription expired in February, I did not renew. I've just kept using the offline ones and not looked back. [/QUOTE]
