Message: <blockquote data-quote="gamerprinter" data-source="post: 5690104" data-attributes="member: 50895">I'm familiar with Virtual Terrain apps, I've downloaded and played with MapTool as well as Battlegrounds. I've designed maps and map objects specifically for use in VTT. I am a pro cartographer and I get that kind of work. I am also not against the use of electronic gaming if that's what it takes to make a better gaming experience for you. Nothing wrong with that. For me and my group only, we're a bit old school in how we play. We all live within the same county if not the same town, and have for over 20 years, so I game with the same group of friends I always have. I know this is not a luxury that everyone has - bearing job and life. So I'm lucky that way, and the luxuries of electronic aids are unnecessary for what I've been used to. I've been hand-prepping games for over 30 years - its what I'm used to. I use a computer every day. I am very connected doing business online. So it's not alien technology for me. However, I don't feel I need any electronic components for my game. I enjoy the natural feel of doing it the old fashioned way. I actually enjoy game prep - second only to playing it. It's part of the creative exercise I enjoy most about gaming - designing the adventure. While I can appreciate using online or offline tools to enhance my game. Too often I am designing brand new concepts that aren't in the game I play rather new mechanics, traits, feats, spells, magic items, etc. So I can't use an online tool for building stuff that currently doesn't exist in the game. Which is the primary reason such tools can't help me well. But I do not discount using electronic tools to make your game better - use your chosen tool per taste. Whatever makes a better experience for you, please do.</blockquote>
