Message: <blockquote data-quote="DMFTodd" data-source="post: 628243" data-attributes="member: 1202">The latest Dragon magazine has an article on the revised stuff and they call it 3.5 (or at least there is a big 3.5 graphic, don't know if they say that in the article or not).  I see this attitude a lot and I just don't get it. Why do customers look for the "official" products and that's it? Why not look beyond the official? By all accounts, E:Tools is a steaming pile. Yet if you go over to RPGShop you'll see that E:Tools is selling much better than far superior products (not referring to my program specifically). Everyone complains how bad the support from WotC and Fluid is. Meanwhile Chris, Luke and others knock themselves out providing great support. Yet E:Tools continues to outsell them by a huge margin. And I'll make this prediction: E:Tools will not support any substantive changes from "3.5". Campaign Suite, RPM, and DM's Familiar will support 3.5 very soon after it is released. And people will continue to complain about E:Tools while ignoring all the rest. We'll see more threads like this with people saying they are going to quit playing D&D since they can't get "official" software rather than looking beyond the official.I just don't get it. Or maybe I'm just grumpy this morning. So my hope is that people who get feed up with the "official" software will go look at the other software that is out there. There's existing software that does a great job, is fantastically well supported, and is made by people pouring their heart into the product for basically no money. Or they can just continue to whine about E:Tools.</blockquote>
