The tools were great. Having the monster database was really fantastic as was the character builder. One month later they switched from a buy increased additions to your tool model to a rent access month to month model. My group at that time decided they were fed up with 4e as a play experience (right when I got into it) and decided to switch to Pathfinder so I was not happy with the new WotC rent model and cancelled. I was glad they provided me with a refund. If it had been a straight continuation of the add on new stuff every month I would have strongly considered keeping the subscription to build out reference stuff I could use in other games or for potential future 4e games.I was on rpgnow from the beginning when they said you can always download stuff you've bought later. Dtrpg.com started off with DRM and I did not use them until that was gone.Later rpgnow merged with dtrpg and I was unable to download a bunch of Dragonlance PDFs I bought when the license went away unannounced, then there was WotC deciding to pull all access to all WotC PDFs I had bought on dtrpg and paizo. Years later they started doing PDFs again on dtrpg, but the ones I bought on paizo are just digital records of my order if I lose those PDFs.I play 5e but have not gotten D&D beyond.I joined a group doing Fantasy Grounds and I have bought both a lifetime subscription and some materials in FG format.I prefer buying PDFs I own. I prefer not to rent access in general.</blockquote>
