Even if it was easy to sync up while within a Realm and do a push notification to any Player versions out there would be nice.

I also thought the Player Version would do that so I was disappointed to discover that wasn't the case. If I had known I doubt I would have bought it for my players since they rarely if ever look at things between sessions. Even with that disappointment (and the calendars ;-) I do find it a great tool for me. I consider myself a module queen so I take the time to enter the one we going through. I like that I not only can see connections but the links are invaluable. I can also make notes of rules and link to it. All of that is golden for me.

I have wondered about that also but knowing how tight-lipped companies can be I figured I would just have to hang in there.
Funding a Kickstarter is always a risk and a possible disappointment. At least Rob didn't take our Kickstarter money and run. That actually happened on one that I supported. I look at it like the stock market, you invest to help the company and hope for a return. Sometimes the return is really good, sometimes you'll break even, and sometimes you loose your shirt. We didn't loose our shirt so at the very least those of us who invested broke even. We got a tool that I think is doing more than I was able to do without it. I don't doubt that we will get all of the extra items promised for our support. I hope the full dream we helped fund will eventually happen but for now I'll take the win we have and enjoy it.
