Where's all the 4th edition stuff online?

[RangerWickett]

Y'know, Character Builder, Compendium with monster stats, etc. How do I find those now? Google doesn't have any links.

Go to dnd.wizards.com.
At the top, hover over PRODUCT INFO, then TABLETOP GAMES and click on DIGITAL TOOLS.
Scroll down for the so called "4TH EDITION LEGACY TOOLS."

dndinsider.com

(which actually redirects to http://archive.wizards.com/dnd/tools.aspx )

Yeah, cunningly hidden at www.dndinsider.com, where it always was!

 

[RangerWickett]

Huh. I never used that link. I always went through the D&D website: www.wizards.com/dnd

They want to promote and sell the new 5E. Why would they want to make the old 4E stuff easy to find?
It actually was completely missing for a day or two, according to one of my usual band of outcast gamers. Take that for what it is worth.

In short: bad marketing decisions combined with bad web-design.

Don't attribute this to some weird form of malice. The Insider tools are accessible both through their main URL and through the D&D site (at a very reasonable location). They're not hidden. They're not hard to find. They're not trying to force people to switch to 5e by depriving them of 4e tools.

Their web design is fine, and I'm not aware of any marketing decisions that have caused them to catch any flak in the last few months.

I have always gone through the main DND site as well, never even knew D&D insider.com existed. Perhaps they should have made that a bit more obvious.

you can also find them here:

http://dnd.wizards.com/digital_tools

if, for some reason, you need another option.

Maybe you are simply much kinder and more generous than I am.
