D&D General Tools for PCs?

Sure, and if it was just about potential sales, that would make a Harry Potter set seem pretty likely. But they would also have to rebuild the staff who make the cash cow. And, again, they said they wouldn’t in response to this announcement. Like, if you want to argue that a possible future Harry Potter crossover could still eventually happen, that’s not impossible. But the partnership Hazbro was talking about is not an M:tG set.

WotC included. But this wouldn’t be going back on an announcement. That would be the parent company announcing something and the subsidiary saying “they aren’t talking about us” when it is absolutely about them.

I agree with all of that. I'm just not as confident as you are that the it won't happen in the future. I'm certainly not going to boycott WotC for a Hasbro deal.

Hasbro owns DNDBEYOND. That's all I need to know. I don't want to give Hasbro money.

Totally reasonable, and like I said, I support that decision. I was just trying to see if there was something else more specific I had missed.

Anyway, I appreciate your commitment.

I chose the phrase foreseeable future intentionally. It still could happen some day, but it isn’t currently on the horizon.

Nor am I, but I would boycott M:tG or D&D if WotC did a Harry Potter tie-in for either product.

It's just a game, if I can't give that up to fight hate...... I own enough stuff to play forever. Or, switch to Nimble full time works also.....

Absolutely. I wish more of the people who call themselves allies shared that outlook. The number of people I considered friends who still bought the stupid video game was truly depressing. And then to add insult to injury they all ended up complaining the game was bad like a week later.

Looks like I'm canceling my dndbeyond sub, given the relationships with Rowling....

Do you have tools you recommend for creating and managing characters? Legal ones only, pls. thanks,

I might just use foundry, and then print out sheets? Not sure. And no, I'm not going to keep my account at beyond either, so I won't be using the free parts either.

Minimal Character Sheet

Minimal character sheet

Your freeform character sheet for D&D 5e.

minimalcharactersheet.com

Works for 5e CC BY SRDs, at first look. It's really lightweight, but for people of the skill level here that should be fine

Pencil and paper.

Since we're digressing so hard in this thread . . .

How is paper still legal? I could probably buy some Meta glasses and write/read in thin air if I wanted to. (Not that I would.)

Huh? Every post in the thread has been directly related to the topic in the opening post…

Why wouldn’t paper be legal and why would Meta glasses be better…?

Tools for PCs and WotC's relationship with JK Rowling are, well, different subjects.

Well, paper is made of dead trees. Trees are our last line of defense against, well, everything humans do. Cutting them down for character sheets sounds a bit criminal . . . See where this is going?

dead trees I suppose. Deforestation and chemical treatment are major issues in woodpulp paper, especially as sustainable alternatives exist (bamboo, hemp, cotton fibre) and then you have alternatives like calcium carbonate (stone paper) and digital E-paper devices or as suggested Meta-glasses
