But it won't be available to Macs. Dragon is nice, but you'll be able to get the material hardcover later, so for me it's moot. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Daniel Anands last blog post..<a href="http://www.rolando20.com.br/fantasy-grounds/" rel="nofollow">Fantasy Grounds</a></em></abbr></abbr></em></em> The only thing that could drive me to try the DnD Insider is the tabletop application.

There are several -free- tools out there for 4th edition that seem better than the bonus tools. Since my campaign is played 100% online (with teamspeak and an open source prog called gametable), these tools are a major help...but I don't feel I need to pay for the WotC ones when the free ones suit my needs.

I have a feeling that they will present us with the barbarian class when DDI is subscription-only. Why give the fans something for free, when they can pay? ;) What makes me angry is that they expect us to pay for something we have no idea they can really pull off properly.

Dragon and Dungeon simply aren't worth it to me. I've decided not to support their efforts by subscribing to a hobbled software package. Dragon and Dungeon simply aren't worth it to me.

Whether or not the rest of the DDI content will be worthwhile, I can't say, but I'm fairly happy that we're waiting for a better product rather than bitching about a low quality one.

I don't think I'll ever be using any of the DDI features other than Dragon and Dungeon. Even so, I'm reluctant to pay for them considering the exchange rate. Agreed.
