Knowing these two things I’ve got to believe that Wizard will keep character builder alive in one form or another. Each player may not buy every book, but pretty much every player pays for a DDI subscription.Īs Wizards continues crafting and refining the rules for D&D Next they have to realize two very important truths: 1) DDI subscriptions generate significant revenue, and 2) character builder provides them with a wealth of information about the people playing their game.

Of the seven regulars in my gaming group six of us have been subscribers since day one and the seventh guy pays for a few months a year as his wallet allows. Between the character builder and the compendium I think that the subscription is well worth the money. I’ve got to think that the majority of us who play 4e D&D are subscribers.

If you’re like me you have a subscription to DDI.
