[QUOTE="Harmon, post: 3668315, member: 24357"] Positive experience- Writing up your adventure and being able to Control F to find things. Scanning in maps and zooming into them so as to see exact locations and square counts. I used Auto CADD for a while with dungeon design, and it really helped a lot. Love the ability to write out Sendings, Divinations, Communes, very quickly and not lose them later (cause Control S is right there). SRD & PDFs are a blessing in a computer, searches for spells and such are quicker with regards to the computer rather then leafing through papers or a book. We have an Excel file for a Gear list and I use it for all my characters, nice to update and keep it clean during the slow moments in the game (when everyone goes for soda, or bathroom breaks, or when you are at -8 hp waiting for the cleric to heal you). There are lots of positive things, Gold Roger might have hit it on the head- the campaign we played yesterday was one of my favorites, but is seldom played (for other reasons). Don't get me wrong, I think that computers are great addition to the gaming environment, it was just a major distraction yesterday, and totally ruined the game for me. [/QUOTE]
