[QUOTE="Madmaxneo, post: 6542927, member: 6716025"] I also prefer that the players to have printed character sheets. There are so many apps available (both paid and free) that are a great help to the game. I have been using Inspiration Pad Pro for treasure generation and a few other things. It is a great program (easy to program at that and is free for the PC. There is a paid android app ($1.80) that you can export your tables to and use on your android device (I prefer to use my windows tablet). I also have an automated PDF character generator that I developed using Javascript, it is a pretty good auto PDF but I still have to write up directions for others to use. I have a few other programs that I own but have not used for the game just yet, one is Realm Works which if I ever get to doing all the data entry would be an awesome tool to use even at the table. As it would give the players access to all the campaign info I allow them to see. Unfortunately they still have not implemented calendar support so it only uses our Gregorian calendar for now. I also have Hero lab but found that having to develop my own code for the game I play was more than cumbersome. I found it easier to learn Javascript and program my own character generator. There are loads of map making programs that can help a great deal in a game, if there is a map you only want one or a few PC's to see then you can easily share or email it to them. I am waiting for the day when someone develops a gaming chat app that allows the GM to have a chat set up at the table and he can send private text messages to individual players and have them make rolls over the chat with maybe a few more extras that may be helpful like saved pre-made chat dialogues for quick access. Anyone know of such an app already developed or in development? Bruce [/QUOTE]
