[QUOTE="AwesomeOpossum74, post: 6037562, member: 6701142"] Back in the 80's I remember people wrote everything down on school paper, and drew maps on graph paper. There was no electronic technology involved. l) are very common, and I know they've permeated tabletop gaming to a big degree. There are character generators everywhere you turn, and people create maps with image editors, etc. I wrote the beginnings of my first adventure story on the computer, as I really don't like actually writing. On top of that, making changes is a heck of a lot easier. When it comes time to begin the adventure I'll print it out. When it comes to mapping, I could probably draw out a "quick" map on my graph paper, but it wouldn't be too detailed. I'm not very good at transferring what's in my head to "paper", and even worse at drawing. I've seen some beautifully hand-drawn maps that I'm envious of. I've also seen the output of some map building utilities that include tile images and make the map making process a whole lot easier and faster. I haven't yet determined which way I want to go with this. However I decide to develop, the big plan is to print everything for the actual gaming, to keep it as authentic as possible. No electronics at the gaming table allowed. ;) How to you manage the building of your adventures? Do you use electronics while gaming? [/QUOTE]
