VT/CB/AT integration coming soon to beta testers

It’s time for the next step in the D&D Virtual Table beta. We’ve been talking about integrating the tools as a big part of our plans, and soon D&D VT beta testers will be able to try out the process and tell us what they think. Starting next week, all members of the D&D Virtual Table beta will also get access to the web-based Adventure Tools beta. This tool will have a Monster Builder, similar in functionality to its classic, downloadable counterpart. Here’s a first look at what people can expect:

Link to picture as it is HUGE!!

Shortly after we get the Adventure Tools beta up and running, we’ll be turning on the connectivity between the Virtual Table, Adventure Tools, and Character Builder so that testers can check out creating characters and monsters, and importing them into the VT for use.

There’s one more important bit of information that I’ll leave you with. At D&D Experience next week (January 27th-30th) we will have a D&D Virtual Table Seminar with some cool things going on. One such thing is the fact that everyone who attends the seminar will be included in this next part of the D&D Virtual Table beta and be able to check out this cool new functionality. For all those not able to make it to D&D XP this year - make sure to stay updated on everything that’s going on with event/seminar coverage on the D&D XP site, and keep in mind we still have plans to invite DDI members at a later stage of the beta.

I cant wait. This will be fun to play with.

"Come, Beta Testers, come! The game is afoot. Not a word! To your computers and come!"

Hooray. Just got notice of the broadcast in my inbox and I have to say, I'm very excited that the Monster Builder is that close to completion that they're willing to start testing it with the VTT. I might have to set something up on the VTT and give the CB and MB imports a whirl.

I am very excited by this news. I hope they add a more organized way to input your feats, features and equipment as well.

I am sure there is a standard layout it will follow since you are importing it from the OCB

It was time for some good news.


Well, it will be good if all this stuff actually works.

Oh, this is hot sweetness!!

Quite sincerely, Bravo WotC!

If you can integrate these tools, their value far increases.

 

[caudor]

Hooray! I'm excited too!

And to think I was getting worried and all that. That's what I'm talking about!

SWEEEET!!!

Now, if they would just develop an iPad app version of DDI...
