[QUOTE="turkeygiant, post: 7655053, member: 6787083"] Assuming this isn't "pre-rendered" or concept animation I am impressed with the UI...but the features still aren't impressing me to the tune of $50, plus monthly fees, plus the cost of new modules... I like the look of the Monster/NPC tracker that is something I could use, but most of the other features presented are things I already do with other apps, or frankly just as easily playing pen and paper. Something else I just don't get is the apparently "groundbreaking" search functions, I think the embedded links might make things marginally easier...maybe...but its not really a problem that I feel was crying out to be solved. I feel like I function just fine using the search function of a PDF, and very rarely do I need to reference multiple books on the fly. In general I think Trapdoor is trying to sell us on the broad functionality of their technology, but the RPG community is looking for very focused and specific things. I almost feel like this kickstarter would have been better off as a commercial service trying to sell their reader technology as a generic utility any industry or business can use. But RPGs are a real kickstarter cash cow so it might have been tempting to try their luck here first. [/QUOTE]
