[QUOTE="delericho, post: 3248626, member: 22424"] Agreed 100%. At the very least, the character creator must allow you to create any character that can be created using any book for 3.5e. I would be very surprised if this was the case, at least with the initial release. Even better would be to have the entire text of the books available online, but I have to agree with those who have said this will never happen - concerns about piracy are well-founded. The problem is, I don't know what they can really offer that would compete with the free software, except for the D&D logo. Except one thing... Network externalities. If they have a wide enough subscriber base, it might be possible to place a post saying "I'm starting a game in setting X in five minutes..." (at any given time) and have a group of players assemble. If they can offer that, even without any facilities beyond what OpenRPG offers, that I would consider it worth paying for (provided they remove the "3 games per month" limit). Without that, no. I don't see what they'll be able to offer beyond what the free software allows. [/QUOTE]
