Whenever somebody says something like, we want to be transparent about where things stand, you know that the stuff they're going to say is not actually transparent. I remember this when Wizards of the Coast said, in order to be fully transparent about the OGL, we wanted to clarify some rumors and stuff. I actually watched my old video about that where I was like, you didn't.
And I'm not saying they're saying that here, but we'll get into it. But over there, it was like, you're going to say, oh, in order to clarify things and get away from rumors and then made up a bunch of rumors, basically made a bunch of lies up about what the OGL actually very much is. So you want to have a little cynical eye.

Whenever somebody says we want to be transparent about what things stand, I would be very careful about what they're going to say next because it's almost certainly not going to be transparent. And they say, when we initially offered to create a TOV character sheet, we did so with great enthusiasm. Yay.

However, once our teams were actually able to assess the work involved, we found that Roll20's priorities on other projects simply do not allow enough time. This is a failure and we have to own and we deeply regret the confusion. What do you mean by own? Like, so own how, right?

We deeply regret the confusion or frustration or actions caused for Kobo Press because Kobo Press, and this is the one thing I would highly recommend to you, is recognizing where this fault lies. And it's not with Kobo Press. Maybe Kobo Press oversold the intentions of something that didn't end up happening.

But you absolutely know Kobo Press would absolutely want this character builder to move forward. They absolutely want a character builder to move forward. And that is a real shame that they couldn't. But this is where the BS lies, right?

So while we have since explored other options and offered alternative solutions to our friends at Kobo, we regret that we cannot deliver the sheet due to many competing priorities. Not many. One, D&D 2024. They have one priority, D&D 2024. That is the only reason why they're not doing a Tales of the Valley character builder.

It's because they're busy focusing their time and attention on a character builder for D&D 2024. They don't mention it in here, but don't say many priorities. You have one, one competing priority, and that is the other big 5E that's bigger than you, which is what they're saying to Coldplay. We deeply value our partnership, but not enough to actually do the thing we said we'd do.
