[QUOTE="daplunk, post: 7710420, member: 6778883"] See i don't get this. I keep seeing the VTT crowd posting with "why doesn't this do anything for me". If you are playing via FG or Roll20 then this tool is not designed for you. You can do this on FG or Roll20. You're meant to do this on FG or Roll20. If you are playing via the internet via either of these tools there is no need to buy this all again unless its your personal preference to have access to your character when you are away from your PC. This is a competitor for Hero Lab / OrcPub / ForgedAnvil / Fifth Edition Character Sheet right now and from what I've seen they want to take on Realm Works / Obsidian Portal as well. This is a tool for the many thousands of us who use digital tools at the table to make the management of our games easier. This is not intended to replicate the whole process, which is what Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds are doing. There are many thousands of us who would never consider using FG or Roll20 simply because it is a VTT. We already have tables and don't need that extra functionality. We do however want character creators, combat managers, npc generators, monster generators, ability to manage PC sheets across the cloud. I have almost everything I need in Realm Works and Hero Labs. Except, it doesn't have a 5e license, it doesn't support android and it doesn't have the ability to view my characters sheets via the cloud. I tell you what though. I will be watching Lone Wolf Development & D&D Beyond very closely. I doubt D&D Beyond will be able to compete with Realm Works in the short or medium term. And for me Realm Works is looking to be the tool that will drive my other decisions. [/QUOTE]
