[QUOTE="LoPaC, post: 3705973, member: 6758"] DDI better have some type of book sharing ability. I play 3 different groups, one as DM and 2 as PCs, and the books change with each group. I would [I]assume[/I] that you can have multiple game groups on DDI, so of course the book sharing would need to be ever-changing. But is WIzards really going to let me give a "free copy" of ECS to all 12 other people just because I bought one, yet I let all the people I play with use it? What I think might happen is that the DDI is a program that will work outside of a web browser, and that you will have a catalouge of books, and when you group up, your catalouge becomes avalible to the rest of your current group [B]only[/B] when your group is together online. Example: I buy Eberron CS and look to DM an online game. My players can only use the book via DDI character generator when we are together and logged in as a game group. Or even better, you make your game group, and all the books that each persson has loaded into their catalouge is avalible for each other person to use only while that gaming group is together, which a log will be kept online via DDI being a stand-alone program that accesses the online catalouge profile of each person playing in the group. So if you aren't in a game group and just want to make digital characters, you would only have your books to work with until you gain a group. Any of this make sense? [/QUOTE]
