Message: <blockquote data-quote="Herschel" data-source="post: 5379359" data-attributes="member: 78357">I'm disappointed that the new character builder isn't up to some peoples' expectations. To be honest, I wasn't expecting it to be running without bugs for a bit. Maybe because I work in corporate America where all large software undertakings have unforseen bugs it really doesn't bother me that much. I was added to a QA team and have helped root out many bugs but even as an end user of the software I can't find them all in QA.  The Monster Builder and old Character Builder worked okay for me, even with their quirks, but I can see why they wanted/needed to go this direction. Is it a rough transition? For some it will be. That's unfortunate. But it's the way it goes. The new system will probably work well enough for what I need it to do, and I like the new character sheet layout. I don't need custom portraits or vanity additions. Basic updates/upgrades will be coming to fix the glitches they have.  Is it perfect? No. Will it ever be? No.  Will it do what I want/need it to do?Yes. FWIW I couldn't care less about a Virtual Table Top. IMO there are options already out there and I don't have a high opinion of people who rely on them outside of rural areas or as part of a face-to-face game.  Maybe I just don't expect huge digital doo-dads for my game of imagination. Maybe I like old school more than most. Basic, functioning digital tools is all I ask for. Is that different from the majority of others playing the game? I don't know.  I don't play WoW, Halo, Call of Duty, Starcraft or any of the other hot video or online games. D&D is my game of choice, always has been. People, books and a pencil are all I ever need.  And dice. Lots & lots of dice. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> At the end of the day I wish it worked a little more cleanly, but I'm not going to be too upset about it as long as it works. It's a game, after all, and I play it for fun. If I can have fun, I'm happy. The rest is gravy.</blockquote>
