#1 CountRogula Jul 29, 2014 17:35:31	Hey   Any news on if/when a tool like the 4E char gen app will be released?   thanks Blake
#2 pukunui Jul 29, 2014 19:25:26	They're working on it right now. They've outsourced it to a company called Trapdoor, and the software is currently codenamed "Morningstar". It's currently in beta testing.

#7 Grazel Jul 29, 2014 23:42:06	Indeed, I think their move to a web-only, online-only character builder was a bad move, and the rest of the tools never got properly developed. I'm hoping trapdoor does a better job with things

#10 Grazel Aug 01, 2014 19:41:20	They've not said anything about having selected beta testers yet, also they'll likely do them in waves, with a growing base of testers as needed. I suspect though we won't see any invites until at least the 19th and possibly later (since the PHB comes out on the 19th).
#11 pauln6 Aug 02, 2014 5:58:49	I know someone who has been invited - possibly in relation to his tablet so maybe they have a smaller pool of those to choose from.  Given how modular the system is meant to be, I hope we don't have to wait  months for them to initialise custom content.  Mind you, with minimal feats and class features that grant static features, presumably most custom content will just require text to be pulled through onto the sheet.
#12 smartboyathome Aug 02, 2014 14:00:42	As a newer player, I cannot wait for this app to be released since I got confused over some parts of the character sheet (as easy as it is). Just havin that little extra guidance goes a long way to helping get people over the hurdle that is their first character sheet.
#13 mboss77 Aug 02, 2014 20:54:27	I'm pretty excited about this. May have a good reason to upgrade from my first gen iPad now.
