No plans for D&D 5e?

HLC only had more due to the community created content if you owned that license. Once HLO also supported custom content, it will be just as good, if not better.

That is true, however, it would seem unlikely and ill-advised to alienate 1/3 of the tools usage by not supporting custom content. That said, we will have to see if that happens. I know for me it will largely result in my continued support/usage of the tool. I am staying confident that it will be there though.
 
LW has said on multiple occasions that custom content (ie .user files) is totally planned.

Based on the importance of the different community packs (especially for 5E) I can't not see them NOT implementing it.
 
Thank you, BJ. That's good to hear. I hope it will be listed when the promised update to the roadmap is posted. :)
 
Imagine the legal hurdles here. Always online requires servers. Servers are hosted by LWD. Which means the way they have legally got around their license shortcomings by getting the Community to fill the void is suddenly not possible. Rob is a smart man so I'm sure he has some ideas but this is dangerous territory.

DnDB won the race here. Both the sprint the marathon and the 2022 Olympics.

Yes, too bad D&D Beyond got a licence from Wizards, which is likely the main reason why LW didn't. Even if/when LW do a port of 5E from Classic to HLO, it can still only be a SRD version, which (almost) no-one will want without an editor to recreate the community pack. Hopefully, that can again work the same way (legally), even being online.

If this was applied generally then they wouldn't be able to offer any form of user data sets, since the data sets would be hosted on their servers.

This puts a massive dampener in their original plans for HLO, to try and replace HLC.
