New Monster Builder - I'll have to go check that out.2. Oh, I'm reading that it doesn't really do anything yet... what?3. Ah, I see - the one thing it DOES do is allow import to the Virtual Table.4. Since I'm not using the Virtual Table right now, I'm ignoring its existence because it's of no use to me.I agree that the marketing was very poorly handled here. There should have been next to no announcement about this online Monster Builder - just a footnote accompanying some discussion about the expanded Virtual Table beta saying, "By the way, we've added a bare-bones version of the Monster Builder to DDI so that people can import monsters to the Virtual Table. It's not ready for general use yet, but we wanted the people in the beta to know about it, because it can make their lives easier in testing that program."THAT announcement would have been fine. The community would have seen the Online Monster Builder as a preview of things to come, but mostly ignored it (except for those using the Virtual Table, who probably would have been thrilled). That's how I've chosen to see it in the end, but I agree that the communication on this one was a total mess.</blockquote>
