[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 3269074, member: 53"] I don't believe it was every supposed to be much more than a character generator/manager, at least initially. Also, I remember that' MasterTools wasn't going to be much more. However, more and more non-character oriented things kept getting added (sounds for monsters) even as WotC personnel were saying that it wasn't to be a tool for online play. It was clear the left hand and right hand weren't on the same page, at least to me. I think they got distracted by side issues like eTools did. My impression was that what became RPGToolkit was going to be the replacement for eTools (since it was too hard to work around eTools issues). As time went one they added more and more systems that it was going to work with. Right now that's looking like a good move, since their D&D support will be very limited. However, if they had kept focused, maybe... My own personal lamentation is the disappearance of the [I]Eberron Interactive Atlas[/i]. In June ProFantasy stated that the maps were done and it should be out by GenCon. CMP stated that it wouldn't be out by GenCon. In fact, it never was released because of whatever delays they had.
