This is the standard image I always show - my iRex DR1000S: It's very expensive, though. Right now, I would recommend waiting for the QUE by Plastic Logic, since it comes out very soon, also has a large screen, and might be fairly cheap.

You can put on them a short summary, lots of intricate details, or whatever in between you want - it's all up to you. I second Wikidot.Com - basic subscription is free, and it has lots of customization possibilities. I've put several RPG-related wikis on it, such as the Urbis Wiki and the...

It's also possible to customize the appearance of Wikidot.com wikis to a great degree if you have some knowledge of CSS. See my own Urbis Wiki for an example.

Eh, the Urbis Wave isn't all that impressive. All I did was add some pertinent information at the top in a nice formatting, and then made several subdivisions so that participants could reply to different topics.

From my first impressions, the system seems to get very slow once you hit more than 100 individual messages (or "blips"). This is perhaps a bit low for running a whole adventure - it might be necessary to split it up into several sub-Waves. Waves seem to be ideal for relatively focused...

For the record, Mark, weem, and CAFRedblade now have invites. I'll mention it here if I have more to pass around. I also finally figured out what why the Urbis wave wasn't public - instead of adding the "public@a.googlewave.com" address to the participants as the Help files claim, you have to...

Well, I do have a few invites to spare - but I need your email addresses for it. The first three people to mail me at jhubert at gmx dot de will get one.

I finally worked out how to search for open Waves anyone can access. For instance, if you enter with:public tag:rpg into the search box, Google Wave will search for all open Waves with the "rpg" tag. If you enter with:public rpg it will search the entire contents of all public Waves for the...

I got an account with Google Wave yesterday, and I decided to found my own wave here, which is dedicated to discussion of my setting. It should be a public wave, which means that anyone can join. What other RPG-related waves are there? I know of the RPGNet Sandbox Wave, but I'm sure that there...

I've been working on the Random Nations Generator again recently and made a few significant changes. It's still not fully complete - there are still categories missing, and many of the existing categories don't have enough random seeds to truly fill them out. Still, I'd like to hear your...

I've finished reading it this weekend, and it's an excellent combination of Transhumanism and Cosmic Horror. Worth checking out for anyone interested in these genres. Note: You can actually legally download Eclipse Phase from .torrent sites - the creators put the entire book under a Creative...

I've added a category for various economic systems. So far, I have the following: - Grain-based Local Currency - Just-in-Time Socialism - Monopoly By Royal Decree - Resilience Economics - Robonomics

Pretty much the same, yes. You can add bookmarks and then you can go to a separate view where all the pages with bookmarks are shown as miniature pages. But you can't export them, as far as I am aware - or if you can, I haven't figured it out yet. You can export the annotations you made with...

I finally got around to adding a few more government forms. Now the generator has the following: - Consociational State - Demarchy - Exilarchy - Noocracy - Puppet State - Technocracy Is anyone here willing to tackle the more traditional forms of government, such as monarchy, republic etc.?

The ability to decide "I need to do this in a hurry" or "I want to take this slow and carefully" without having to calculate additional modifiers. I never had any problems with the Earthdawn Dice Mechanics - I thought they were pretty cool, actually.

Looks interesting. I'd have to try it out to see how it works in practice, but it doesn't have to be all that complicated as it sounds like. I mean, White Wolf games (and a few other games as well) already use dice pool mechanics, and you don't necessarily roll less dice in those. Presumably...

These three novels are very, very good - among the best gaming fiction which I have read (although that's admittedly not saying much...). The Prism Pentad is okay. I didn't like the "Tribe of One" series much.

From what I've read, for displaying purposes the Kindle DX should work pretty much the same. The Kindle DX has the advantage of having access to the huge number of ebooks at the Kindle store. On the other hand, AFAIK the Kindle DX has no way of annotating PDFs, which for me was a deal breaker...

A page from GURPS Mass Combat: A page from Dungeon magazine: Unfortunately, the lighting was a bit unfavorable for the photo. After all, this is not a back-lit screen. While this is true, it is also somewhat misleading. First of all, you can use the stylus that comes with it to directly...

The Arcana Wiki keeps growing, and I have far more ideas for entries than time to enter them. So any help with adding material to the wiki is welcome - I and the other contributors could certainly use any assistance you can give us. I'd like help with one issue in particular. The Arcana Wiki...
