Jim W. said: Gauss said: The problem as I understand it is that the 2024 Compendium content is not structured in a way that the D&D 5e 2014 by Roll20 sheet would recognize. It is entirely different. The D&D 5e 2014 by Roll20 sheet is a mess on the back end, trying to update it to handle the 2024 Compendium content would probably go badly. With that said, it is my belief that Roll20 should have, and should still, create an entirely new 2014/2024 Character sheet in the D&D 5e 2014 by Roll20 character sheet style. Beacon is so alien to the Roll20 Architecture that I don't know if it will ever be able to do what I can do with the 2014 sheet. But, perhaps someday it'll reach parity. Who knows? The 2024 sheet can import both, so 2014 could. By using 2014 sheet a lot of free expertise and time could be available to sort issues. This. Read source. Drop data. If something needs to sit in between to massage the 2024 content onto the 2014 sheet so the 2014 sheet does not need to be further modified, so be it. It requires extra coding to convert the new format, but it had to have taken less time than what we are currently waiting for. We would have been able to use both existing and new content together in a game now while waiting for the new 2024 sheet. Roll20 made two decisions that I feel did not put their customers first. Roll20 did not make a fully functional sheet before worrying about automating the character building experience. We could not make a working character sheet that handled all the options we are supposed to be able to use with 2024 on day 1 of the 2024 PHB. Instead, features are slowly being rolled out, sometimes available automated before they can be done manually. When the 2024 sheet was not going to be ready on time, making the 2024 content be droppable on the 2014 sheet would have provided the customers with a fully working character sheet while waiting for the new 2024 sheet. Without at least one of those two options completed so a fully-functional character sheet was available for all content, what was the point of buying the compendium expansions on Roll20? You can manually type in everything on the 2014 sheet, but you can do that with the 2024 content coming from anywhere, not just Roll20. Instead, we are in a state of limbo. It has been 5 months. When are we going to be able to drag and drop all our Roll20 2014 and 2024 content, have all of our scripts work, and manually enter the homebrew stuff on one character sheet? When the 2024 SRD comes out? The one-year anniversary of the 2024 PHB? 2026? I really want it to be by the end of the month, but I am not hopeful. I would love to be proven wrong.
