You can easily include house versions of 5e, having some kind of open standard to be able to create material in a structured way that this character builder could do and make it so it's self-hostable.

It could still be like an online tool, but if it's an open source tool, it would be really great that you could run it on your own website or you could host it on a different server, a different platform and have that kind of open distributed way of managing character sheets in a tool that is open source. So you know it will be around, different people can fork it.

Whoever creates it, turns out to be a jerk, you can fork it and then somebody else can focus on it. I think the industry could really use a tool like that. It would be really expensive to make, It would take a lot of time and a lot of energy from very skilled people to be able to make a tool like that. But an open source character builder for 5E that is distributed would be fantastic.

EN World Publishing is making Level Up Gateway, which is their character builder. That is a really interesting tool, but it is also not self-hostable. We have to count on them to continue to maintain it. I love the end publishing. I love the end world. Morris is a great guy. I think his heart is in the right place with RPGs, but we cannot trust any single online tool to last forever.

It's one of the reasons I really like Foundry. Foundry is really good because it is self-hostable. You own the software, you own the material that you buy for it and download for it. You can take downloadable snapshots, but it is really a full-fledged VTT. And the kind of thing I want is a character builder specifically, i.e.

a web-based character builder you can give to your players so that they can run it. And that usability is really important too. Anyway, so on. He talks about product dependency. And one of the things he mentioned, which we've heard before, is that he was very against.

And this, I think, has been true with the entire 5E team since the beginning, since 2014 for 5E, is that they did not want to make any product that required that you already owned another product other than the core books. And this is why you didn't see like, oh, character options for Ravenloft.
