[QUOTE="Halivar, post: 3056952, member: 9327"] It was easier and more natural for me to use the computer as my only DM resource, because I'd already switched to paperless gaming in campaigns I play in. After I got to the point that all I needed was OpenOffice, PCGen, and an on-line SRD, I stopped bringing my books. If I'm using a prestige class, spell, or feat from a companion book, I add it to the PCGen custom list files. After I got proficient with this, I went ahead and switched my DM'ing to this method. I keep a web-browser open with bookmarks to several different NPC and tresure generators in case players leave the beaten path. I also keep the basic plot outline and NPC stat-blocks in an OpenOffice file. When I first switched to using a laptop as a player, I got wierd looks. It's somewhat gratifiying that, after two months, one of my entire gaming groups has made the switch, too (sans DM). Now, hopefully the character sheets won't start piling up on our gaming room floor. [/QUOTE]
