[QUOTE="Aristotle, post: 4626214, member: 5885"] It is probably too late in the thread to offer a long winded opinion and have it be read by anyone. Too bad. The issue for me is that they've wasted time on minor applications or gimicky elements that I don't think I or the folks I game with even care about. The character generator is awesome. Seriously. I'll use it. If I could only buy each of my players access to it, the rules compendium, and a player's only seat at virtual tabletop for a reasonable price... Perhaps if I had the virtual tabletop I could justify the current price. I've outlined some ideas on the Wizards forums (username Hildy) for what needs to happen to make the encounter generator a full fledged DM's counterpart to the character generator. The kind of app DM's would pay for and spend hours each week using. The last major piece I would need in place is the virtual tabletop. I've been promised it and now I want it dangit. Here is the thing. I never wanted a 3D environment with almost no rules integration. I want a tabletop... like [b]Fantasy Grounds[/b]. That app offers amazing integration of rules without playing the game for you. Seriously, check out the 4e ruleset tutorials. Wizards needs to buy or license it now, complete the integration of the 4e ruleset, and maybe add some support for official Dungeon Tiles and maps from Dragon magazine so folks don't feel like they have to be digital art masters to get a nice map. I'd have to think they could have this ready inside of the year, if not before summer. I'd be using fantasy grounds now if I could figure out how to compile the rules. I'm half tempted to find someone locally who can do it, have them come over and verify my books, and then pay them for their time to generate the files for me. Did I mention that I really want my virtual tabletop sooner than later? *sigh* [/QUOTE]
