Message: <blockquote data-quote="LWDLiz" data-source="post: 7655805" data-attributes="member: 6748808">Nylanfs explained it pretty well, but let me expand on their answer. We actually designed Realm Works for use at the table (though users have used it virtually as well). You can get an idea of some of the stuff it can do in our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vHw6m35pBI" target="_blank">Virtual Tour</a>, narrated beautifully by yours truly. We also have some Tutorial Videos on our YouTube Channel, which are intended for users, but will allow you to see how some basic concepts work. Currently, Realm Works doesn't have export capabilities. However, it is a highly requested feature by our users, and one we'd like to tackle. We currently have a <a href="http://www.wolflair.com/realmworks/2014/12/20/realm-works-feature-survey-is-live/" target="_blank">Feature Survey</a> that our users (and prospective users) can participate in to help gauge user demand in the hundreds of features we could tackle next. Export is one of the Major Features that our users can rate. To use Realm Works at the table right now, you would need a computer (many users use a laptop). That being said, Realm Works can be incredibly useful at the table. It's actually one of my favorite parts of the software. People are visual creatures, especially the people I play with. That's why so many of us play with terrain and miniatures. It allows use to better imagine the story we're playing in. So I use Realm Works to show them the people they're meeting (pictures of the NPCs), the places they're going (maps and pictures of the cities/adventuring areas), and the monsters they're fighting (pictures of the monsters). You can even play audio and video files. There are also some features that make it easier for me to run at the table, like the automatic links that Realm Works generates. For example, if my players are talking to an NPC that mentions a pirate named "Blackbeard", my players might wan to learn more about Blackbeard. I can just click the "Blackbeard" link and it brings me to all of the information on that character. Printing pages from Realm Works wouldn't allow the user to take advantage of the linking at the table. The <a href="http://www.wolflair.com/realmworks/features/immerse-your-players/" target="_blank">"Fog of World"</a> feature is also really popular with our users at the table, because Realm Works only reveals what the players have learned and encountered. So while Nylfas is right in that Realm Works is useful when preparing your adventure/campaign outside of the game, it's also incredibly powerful at the table. I hope that clarifies things a bit. If anyone has additional questions about Realm Works, don't hesitate to ask!</blockquote>
