Looks like the software is free with a free SRD based adventure.

The character sheet is in beta, I think.Just went to demiplane and clicked on "what's new".....April, 2022 is the last entry.
Do they update the tools that often
Anyone use this yet for anything, or is it largely beta still?
My players and I couldn't make a PC w/o a tool at this point.....(exaggeration, but still).

They have more frequent updates in their forums: Latest News & Announcements. As far as I can tell, the Pathfinder Nexus/space is the most advanced one (I'm personally still waiting for them to get to Vaesen and Forbidden Lands in the Freeleague Nexus, so I haven't really tried it out in practice).
I get that....but really, update your site or delete the page. Just awful business practice that makes one wonder about their attention to detail.....and if you've visited my site, I get the irony of this post, but I'm not a business with multiple employees.....
I've considered spending more time with Shard, as we only play 5e......but I'm so invested in Foundry at this point.....Shard Tabletop. A VTT

I understand the cost to the companies, but having to buy licenses for every tool is a bummer if you want to switch tools.

Absolutely get that.
I have hopes that a pdf importer like what Roll20 is working on becomes standard.
It's such a great idea, I went back in time a few years and implemented that in my games as wellWhat a good idea!

Kobold is also suggesting a monster book for Black Flag is in the works. Not sure how I feel about that after buying all their 5E monster books.
You can't fool me. Roll20 doesn't work on QoL or functionality improvements
I'm guessing it is the replacement MM, not something that obviates their Tomes. They have said their back catalog is going to be compatible.

“Technical”. Dear heaven, why did I never think of that before? It’s so obvious, and brilliantly encapsulates skill users. Argh!

Give that orc some green areolas! Otherwise, it looks like he has a very confusing sunburn.

Captain Carrot!!!"Race & Heritage System: Not every dwarf was raised among dwarves, so we’ve split those aspects to help refine character concept. During character creation, choose a race, which represents a character’s biology, and a heritage to represent upbringing in a particular group or society. Choose a standard match of race and heritage for a more traditional character or mix ‘n’ match to craft a unique origin!"
What a good idea!

In general, this sounds great, and I'm looking forward to the playtest.
However, I see some ugly stuff in the comments on that page, and I want Kobold Press to be clear on one thing: if y'all put out a core rulebook which uses the terminology of "Race" in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Twenty-Three: No Sale. Period.

Yeah, the staunch defense in the comments there of "race" being appropriate and the term supposedly being apolitical is an ick.
Truth. Not surprising, alas. I will also not buy a new product using that word. Come on KP.
