We've taken the game from the dining room table to the living room couch and I've gone paperless except for the game books.I have an older Mac hooked up to a 42" HDTV and an iMac G5, Maptools runs on both with the players controlling their movement via the older Mac and I'm working everything else in DM mode from my G5. I use PCGen to make all the monsters and NPC's and then export them into InitTools format so I can use them in the InitTool combat tracker program. It makes casting Summon monster at the party actually fun since i can create a default version of the creature I need, apply the Feindish template and export it over to InitTool in about a minute.one of the big advantages of this set up is that when the clock runs out I just hit save and then next week (or month as it sometimes goes) I can open my files back up and everything is right there, character positions, spells cast, effects in place, hit points lost, which round it is, etc.. My group plays slow with lots of chit chat (which is fine cause we like it like that) so really massive battles can take two or three sessions. With this set up there is no delay in getting started each session.</blockquote>
