I do almost all my prep work on my PC (now Mac) and I currently only print off the essentials for actual sessions. I've used Laptops before and didn't find them distracting but I am just quicker with paper. It is nice to have PDFs available if I need to refer to them (and other folks in the group have those if needed).<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17635116929490398699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135227458986433603.post-54806811317938885092010-01-15T01:01:54.012-06:002010-01-15T01:01:54.012-06:00Here at the Rochester Institute of Technology, lap...Here at the Rochester Institute of Technology, laptops naturally show up at gaming sessions. (Not the LAN parties. We bring our desktops to those.) I've seen several groups where everyone at the table brought a laptop. Our GM has experimented with using his laptop to run games, and he's found it very helpful for keeping track of NPC stats, turn order, and other information. He likes it. xwdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12373103637718319653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135227458986433603.post-30745162031830242952010-01-14T16:26:25.945-06:002010-01-14T16:26:25.945-06:00I started off just as you did.

...I started off just as you did. Paper, lots of it.<br /><br />I transferred all of my gaming stuff to digital format in the late 90s. It was a lot of typing and scanning of maps and pictures.<br /><br />It was great. I was able to organize, develop spreadsheets, new software came out - metacreator, hero creator, mapping software, dice rollers etc. Everything was at my fingertips.
