I'm beginning to think the announcement might be Paolo's firing... Nothing up on the site, no update for CB, yet.
 


I'm down with that. While I understand frustrations by players not being able to use it in places without 'net, I couldn't be happier.
 

WotC DDI announcment

Ninja'ed by Scribble. Nov 16 is my birthday! Yea! That is a great B-day presetn. Thanks WotC!!! =)

On November 16, Wizards of the Coast will launch a brand new web-based version of the D&D Insider Character Builder. The current downloadable version will remain functional, but will no longer be available for download or updated with content after the new version goes live. Here are the highlights of the new Character Builder:


New Design: Completely redesigned from top to bottom in Microsoft Silverlight as a robust character creation wizard.

No Download: The Character Builder is served from the D&D site

PC and Mac Compatible: Requires an Internet connection and Silverlight plug-in

Access is easy: Just enter the D&D site, log in, and launch the Character Builder from the Tool Box or the Character Builder tools page.

Characters in the Cloud: All characters you create are saved on our database. No need to save Character Builder files on your hard drive anymore.

File Import: You can easily import your character s created in the previous version to the new Character Builder.

Previous Data: Includes all character-building data you enjoyed in the previous versions.

New Data Releases: Dark Sun and D&D Essentials data will debut with the new version.

If you have any questions about the new Character Builder or your subscription, see the FAQ or contact a Wizards of the Coast Game Support representative.

Me too actually.

this increases the number of computers I can use it on, and allows friends with Macs to access it as well.

Also possibly ipads? Dunno if they can access silverlight stuff?

Agreed. There are going to be some very angry people over this, I'm sure. But I can honestly say I'd never let my players use a computer or handheld device while at the table to play anyway - too many distractions. Print the damn thing out, sit down with your dice, and pay attention like the rest of us.

Couldn't be happier to have this thing online, and accessible from any computer with internet access. BOOMSLAM.
