I find it silly that Wizards is so short sighted that they would move against something that actively promotes subscriptions to D&D Insider.
I perhaps shouldn't say this, but my D&DI subscription has lapsed, and thus I have no access to the compendium currently. And yet, after reformatting my laptop last week, and after reloading Masterplan version 8.8, I was able to download a massive collection of library files for it from a certain website. From those files, my new copy of Masterplan was suddenly equipped with the stat blocks of every official monster in 4E as of last month, including even the stat blocks of monsters from RPGA adventures Dungeon Magazine. I never paid for access to those, and yet I had it.
Now, the files I downloaded and imported into my copy of Masterplan weren't created by me -- but they
were mined from D&DI by someone else's copy of Masterplan, someone who must also have had an active D&DI subscription when they did it. After Masterplan collected the data, it was just a matter of that person copying the library files and posting them somewhere online, where anyone could download them.
So, on this basis, I understand why WotC doesn't approve of Masterplan in its current form.
Old ladies and tiny kittens would die in droves if I vented my full anger and frustration over WotC and their lawyers right now.
I really wish this company dies a painful death.
That's harsh. Seriously.
Anyway, I'm an optimist. I'm happy to hear that Masterplan is alive and kicking! I'm mildly bummed that we won't have such simple integration for Masterplan anymore, but I'm also confident that it's just a matter of time before an alternative is found. I don't endorse piracy, but I do like Masterplan -- I just want it to have monsters.
