Message: <blockquote data-quote="sircaren" data-source="post: 977120" data-attributes="member: 2391">A couple of months ago, I decided to convert my DM style to an electronic one.  I am a Network Administrator by trade (that's right, one of those guys with all the goofy letters after my name in emails that 'arbitrarily' turns off servers for no reason while you all are trying to work <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />).  I'm a real computer geek, I spend a lot of my free time in front of my PCs.  I also happen to have a laptop at work, that dual boots quite nicely.  I thought I'd try using it at the table.  With the help of the great program RoleplayingMaster (<a href="http://www.roleplayingmaster.com" target="_blank">www.roleplayingmaster.com</a>), I was able to move all my notes online for great use during play.  What a great program Luke!  A lot of the program is a godsend during play, especially combat, but...Wait there's a But?!?!?!?  But you just said how great everything was...I miss my dice, and my big 3 ring binders with the taped up covers, and my campaign notes on notebook paper, and my hand drawn(and often printed) maps, and...  well you get the picture.  Just curious if anyone else experienced this?  I really do enjoy a lot about RPM, and it makes it less obvious when I have to come with something on the fly, as I don't have to write anything down, just say 'hold on while i look it up'(all the while furiously typing it up on the fly).  But the game just doesn't seem to be the same to me this way.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />  Maybe I just need a hobby that isn't computer related...On a side note, I love having MP3 access right there at the table; really helps with the mood.  I can even design playlists for that particular session.After all that rambling, I'm just wondering if other's have had similar experiences?</blockquote>
