RPTOOLS.NET …

I went to GenCon last year and I too witnessed the touting of this fantastically wonderfull all encompassing program. Sadly it has two problems – the elements which it offers do not live up to individiual FREE offerings other people have on the web (like rptools – more in a moment) and you have to pay for these inadequacies. Why could they not make a product like rptools or better yet do the microsoft thing and buy it? OK – rptools is not as glitzy as the virtual tabletop that they were working on but you can play it on ANY computer that runs Java or basically any computer that uses electricity. Some folks out there march to a different drummer (linux, Mac) so lets include those folks.

Bottom line. they came up with an idea, made a “trailer” and then found that they could not develop a program to live up to their touting. quite sad.

Not to sound overly daft, but that means they have to use my account name as well. In other words just like I was logging in from their machine? I have known these guys for a long time so it is not that I don’t trust them, I’m just concerned with trying to download it to a different address than the one associated with my account.

@gull2112: You have to give your group your account info. Every time the software is patched you get five updates, so the patch can be applied on five different machines.

@gull2112 – Have them install the character builder, then update it with the account password.
