The Lazy RPG Podcast - D&D and RPG News and GM Prep from Sly Flourish
Independent Spaces for RPG Discourse โ€“ Lazy RPG Talk Show

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.

We empathize with our many disappointed fans, and we appreciate your understanding. I don't know what else you're going to say, right? But there's a lot of like, hey, oh, it's okay. Everything. We love you. Our friends, right? You're like our friends, but you're not doing the thing you said you were going to do.

Honestly, I really haven't been paying attention to Roll20 making a character builder for Tales of the Valiant anyway. But this feels... you know, like the issue is let's be, you want to be transparent. The transparency is D&D 2024 is bigger than global press. That's where we're going to focus our time and attention.

Also, we bought another company and we're trying to figure out how to consolidate because that's what you do when you buy another company. They are definitely sliding into the larger corporate speak that's going on here. And what that means is they said they were going to do a thing. Kobo Press marketed the fact that they were going to do a thing.

A lot of people bought products expecting that thing to be there. So now money was spent by people expecting this thing to happen. And now it's not going to happen. And that sucks. The other thing, though, is like, you know who didn't have this problem? Shard. So Shard is another tabletop, another virtual tabletop run by a much smaller group of people. And guess what?

They have freaking Tales of the Valiant on there, right? You could go buy Tales of the Valiant over on Shard. You could build characters over on Shard. I have players who do it and integrate it with your VTT and it is a web-based character builder. So if you are looking for that, check out Shard. And hopefully if you got it here, there's a way for you to get a refund.

And if you want to have it on another platform that you can use where you can actually build characters and run into VTT, Shard VTT is where you could do that. The other one that I'd recommend is over on Foundry. Again, there is not an external character builder for it, but Foundry does have full Tales of the Valiant support. And when you buy it on Foundry, you can download it and keep it forever.
