[QUOTE="falunas, post: 143557, member: 4108"] In fact, I can't do what I'm currently doing with autorealm in fractal mapper(or maybe I may have missed something): Actually I run my campaign with my laptop computer, I'm using it to manage combat, to manage NPC, and PC equippement(to avoid situation like: how much for that necklace I've found two month ago and I don't have yet appraised?).
