[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5151312, member: 19675"] It will all end in tears when someone gets caught up in the game and throws their iTouch while casting [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oWAb5NVALw"]Magic Missile[/ame]...;) In all seriousness, considering that these devices are still pricier than a set of rulebooks, I don't see that becoming the norm for quite some time. If we look at the current costs of CD players and the advancing pace of technological change...lets peg a price level that allows that kind of adoption at...12 years? Personally, I use my ancient (2004) and dying Palm E2 to carry my current crop of PC designs, including the 3.5 one I'm currently playing and the one I'm designing for a potential 4Ed game...and a host of 3Ed, 3.5, M&M and HERO characters. Its fairly unobtrusive. I introduced another guy in our group (a mover/shaker in the tech industry, he's considerably more techophillic than I) to the 3.5 SRD, which he now accesses via his smartphone. Again, pretty unobtrusive...and I may follow his lead when I upgrade my phone, which is damn near death. A Droid may well be in my near future. I can easily foresee guys getting e-readers/tablets or smartphones of some kind with RPG books on them...but I don't see it going far beyond that. [/QUOTE]
