[QUOTE="Piratecat, post: 4928865, member: 2"] Well, not exactly. I got a few hints about this when I spoke to WotC's president at GenCon. I'm writing that up, but here's my guess: The previous electronic team tried to create a lot of tools at once, and thus had a badly divided effort. They then decided to suspend development of everything except for a very robus character generator. By taking all of those resources and pouring them into one polished project, they ended up with a real gem. So the question was: what comes next? They chose the monster builder, the first of several adventure tools. I'm guessing that a skill challenge generator will be one of those tools, and I have no doubt that a remote gaming table will be one as well. Greg Leeds spoke quite a bit about how important it is to help groups connect with one another even if they can't all physically be in the same space at once. They haven't announced it yet, though, and they surely won't until it's a month from release. They've learned their lesson about avoiding vaporware. (Also note that this thread is in the wrong forum; I'll move it once we upgrade the software to fix a bug.) [/QUOTE]
