Just walk away man. Your sanity is waaaaaay more important than this. Just Walk away...

I'm exactly the same way. Just replace the Surface with my iPad and it's the same deal especially since now there's a version of OneNote for iOS and OS X. If there's no PDF support for a game? I'm not running that game.

My players and I use mobile devices in our game all the time and it's never a problem. It's all in the attitude of the people at the table. I can find pretty much anything faster on my phone or ipad (using RPG Books, I play Pathfinder) than my players can in the book. By the time they've...

If the RPG community is a microcosm of the population in general what youre saying simply is not true. The RPG community is just as racist, sexist, homophobic as the general population is. In some cases even MORE because of how niche and insular it is. This hobby being overwhelmingly white and...

Besides, these days as much as I love RPG's the overhead for them is just too much. I'm leaning more toward board games and miniature games to intro them to my son and his friends as well as my brother in law and his friends. Overall I find them easier to learn and setup and you can play with...

I have almost no need for a game store. What I'd LIKE is a place to play that was easy to get to, well kept, clean and professional. The product I can get pretty much anywhere (including directly from the publishers these days) but a service? Good Service? THAT'S hard to find. Somewhere with...

If it matters at all I'd support it, but being that youre posting this in what is pretty much a D&D Stronghold I think that you might get a better gauge if you posted this over on the Paizo boards. Somehow I think there's just waaaay more traffic for this over there...

Also...isnt a new edition pretty much a shoe in to win Ennies? I mean I'm pretty certain back when 4th Edition came out it won a crap load of Ennies not because it was a great game (I'm not saying that it WASNT a great game) but really because people were excited over a new edition of D&D. I...

Hussar I'm not arguing ANYTHING Hussar. Me arguing something implies whether or not I feel I havent gotten my inital point across or am trying to change someone's mind. I pretty much feel that I've gotten my point across in my one post to Zil and pretty much dont care if I change anyone's...

Yeah you just hit the nail on the head Zil. I guess that the RPG industry gets to redefine what outsourcing / not outsourcing is for them while the rest of the world has this idea of what outsourcing is in any other case. For me I consider it freelancing (individuals) to outsourcing...

I'm not sure I'd limit based on size but I guess a 17" laptop might be a BIT much. But I have no issues with a standard sized tablet or smartphone. Also I'm not sure if your use of "toys" is meant to be derisive (and apologies if I'm reading too much into it) but we're playing a game of pretend...

I wouldnt play in a group that banned electronics. That seems like it really over steps a boundary between people. I totally get not wanting to deal with the person who's playing Pokemon or games on their phone or tablet DURING the game. That's just as bad if not worse. But banning my ability to...

Yeah, I'm not a fan of 4E at all. But burning books? Even 4E books? That just reeks of attention seeking, self-aggrandizing stupidity. WITH A CAPITAL S. At best I'm putting my 4E gift set (still in near pristine condition) up on Craig's List.

I have backed this project. Boy I hope that the word gets out and people back this. The timing is kinda crappy though as it's coming out right as D&D NEXT is. If it's theater of the mind then there's no real use for it for D&D fans is there. Pathfinder/4E/3.5 Players on the the other hand...

I run a Pathfinder game. Even in Pathfinder when my players started out (almost 4 years ago) I house ruled that at 1st level they start with max HD + their CON score. Not their CON modifier, their CON SCORE. I have 5 players. Each one has lost AT LEAST 1 PC in combat. Trust me, house...

Im not in on this Kickstarter but I really hope that it does get funded. I hope that Necromancer doesnt get bit with 5E like they did with 4E. Third party support for D&D is a good thing and I hope that it continues. As long as it doesnt affect any Pathfinder releases, more power to them in...

MasterPlan also seems to be both Windows and 4E specific...

I will download the basic rules to look at it. But I have no intention of playing or buying 5E.

There are a couple of things that I find disconcerting about this thread. As a result I'm glad that I dont personally know or game with most of you. Distracted players, because that's really what we're talking about here, existed before tablets and smartphones and other electronics. People...

2 hour "pick up game"? of D&D/Pathfinder? Yeah, huge waste of time and so not worth it. Would rather setup a game of Zombicide or Super Dungeon Explore instead. Or Munchkin or Pandemic. Or even the Pathfinder Card Game would be a better option. Especially if I have non RPG people in that group.
