I still remember the Master Tools debacle with more than just minor anger. That they finally came out with the weak E-Tools just made it worse, for me. Hell, the Master Tools for 2E weren't that bad. I liked those, with the build in (licensed) Campaign Mapper that worked with the Forgotten Realms Atlas, and the way you could plug and play house rules into them with ease. Damn it, they haven't been able to match that product and that's some old stuff. They should just bite the bullet and work on functional at the cost of all else, admitting that they can't do a quality electronic product, or license it out to an actual company that knows what they're doing (and, yes, pay the money that it would take).I still have my Master Tools disc and I use it now and again, just to remember how amazing a roleplaying utility can be when the bar is raised to "mediocre".Er, sorry. Flashback to the Master Tools there. My single greatest 3E hatred was the handling of that thing. Hell, they could have found people to do it for free on the internet as open source that would have done a thousand times better ... after one weekend.</blockquote>
