I have resisted for a long time, but my campaign has become so involved that it was becoming an impediment. And with the PCs facing ever more powerful opponents, I was starting to make mistakes.So Saturday night, knowing the PCs would be fighting a BBEG on Sunday, and realizing I was the one that was doomed, I broke down and bought <a href="http://www.dmgenie.com/" target="_blank">DM Genie</a>. Granted, it's not the most beautiful or intuitive interface in the world, but I let my players tweak their PCs and use supplemental materials, so being able to enter all the pertinent stats manually is very important. So I stayed up late keying in the PCs and importing my campaign materials, and it was worth it. Game play, including the big combat, went very smoothly. Plus, since I could take notes right in the campaign materials, I won't have to go through a bunch of notes and synchronize my files with them. Plus, it was so nice not to have a binder and a big stack of books in front of me. One player said afterwards, "I don't think you dropped a single die that session." Scary that that means something. I was a desperate skeptic going into it, but I think I'll be sticking with this for a while.</blockquote>
