[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 3058503, member: 14197"] I GM with my laptop at the game table and it's an invaluable tool. 1. As others stated, use [url]www.d20srd.org[/url] or another offline version like CMG's PDFs. 2. PDFs as copies of adventures that I use alongside the print version (if I have it). 3. I use DMGenie and I like it a LOT. I'm also a professional programmer and I use it for custom feats, quick in-game combat and keeping track of the myriad of modifiers that D&D 3.5 uses. I find that I can wing it where the software won't work (which is VERY rarely). 4. If players like to use PCGen or a PDF to create their characters, I have copies available at a glance. 6. Tablesmith for name/shop/tavern/town generation. 7. NPC designer ([url]www.rpgattitude.com[/url]) for quick NPC generation (which import nicely into DMGenie) 8. I use inspiration pad ([url]www.nbos.com[/url]) for taking notes. As I get names from Tablesmith, I can copy and paste them quickly into notes so I can keep track of off the cuff NPCs and shops. Basically, the PC is my friend. [/QUOTE]
