I am surprised laptops have as large a proportion of the vote as they do.Yes I use a laptop at the gaming table. And it is a great boon. I am not GLUED to it, and shut the lid for most of the game. But it is very useful:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I can write out my game notes in WordPerfect. Instead of cluttering the place up, the files are neatly stored and become a permanent record. I also use WordPerfect to refer to house rules and other game documents I write.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I can keep the SRD and ESDs on the laptop for easy reference; it really cuts down on how much stuff I have to carry around. This is becoming a real boon now that I don't host the game anymore.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I can create NPCs on PCGen and have them on hand for easy reference.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I use other utilities like Jamis Bucks NPC, Treasure, and Dungeon generator for quick encounters during the game.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I use Campaign Cartographer for maps; I can select any of my world maps quickly and easily and can pull up details like distance rather quickly.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I also use a graphic viewer for maps as well as art that I want to show the players.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">I use QuattroPro to track party XP and help figure XP awards. [/list=1] Might I suggest if you don't see how a laptop can help your gaming experience, you really don't know what you are missing?</li> </ol></blockquote>
