[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7179323, member: 20564"] You've got a rather specific target. I used to see those a lot when purchases were to sent to a "fair" bid but they wanted to throw it to a specific vendor and product. The adventures isn't something I've seen - often because many of the tools are fan-made, and the rules are released via SRD or whatever format so are fair game, but replicating someone's adventures is not. Searchable content - sure, that's be out for decades. It's called a PDF. Tablets, computers, phones. Buy once, use in multiple places. Many also have searchable online SRDs, all nicely hyperlinked as well. Character builders, well I've already mentioned Hero Labs. Heck, it's been around for D&D since 3.x with PCGen. Just that the fan-made attempts to bring 5e into the modern era by fans were met with C&D letters or is limited to the SRD rules. But you're forgetting all the rest. Encounter builders, initiative trackers, virtual tabletops, interactive character sheets that can roll and auto-add in modifiers, what-have-you. There'[s lots of tools out there. It's nice that it's in one app, but that's just packaging. This is bringing in some neat stuff we didn't have for 5e. I'm really happy for that. But with the possible exception of being able to buy the adventures as well none of this is new to the industry. [/QUOTE]
