[QUOTE="AllisterH, post: 4931385, member: 51325"] It's weird now.... Even if WOTC had released 4e under the OGL, without access to the character builder, I don't think One Bad Egg would've survived.... Similarly, I'm with others with regard to monsters as well. While it is much easier for a 3PP to actually create a monster, the fact that I still have to type it in actually means I'm more likely to just ask myself "Why am I paying to do this and isn't there a WOTC monster I could use instead"? Given how every month there's more and more races/feats/classes/monsters/items/powers/rituals being added to the compendium, crunch is not exactly a demand for me as a DM _OR_ player. I fully admit that both the character and monster builder have made me lazy. The amount of time pre 4E it took to integrate a 3PP "crunch" into the campaign was EXACTLY the same as integrating WOTC's own stuff so I viewed the 3PP as roughly equivalent. Now though? It's not in the database? It's not in my game. [/QUOTE]
