[QUOTE="DMZ2112, post: 7655882, member: 78752"] I'm not sure 'tech savvy' is the right phrase here. For me, at least, the issue is that books, paper, and pencils are still the most efficient means of indexing and modifying the information necessary for tabletop in real time. I'm plenty tech savvy -- tech savvy enough to know that the best tech for this job is still made of wood. When I'm shopping for a new application, requirement A-1 is that it does the job more efficiently than the one I already have. Hero Lab and Realm Works are great for prep, but at the table even they are just too slow. My session notes still consist of a sheet of chaotic looseleaf. Oh, s**t, that's totally my alignment. Chaotic Looseleaf. AND EVEN IF THE TOOL WAS EFFICIENT, this would make it a great big nope for me. I strenuously object to the idea of subscription software. Ten years ago I would have said it was a necessary evil, but the last decade has conclusively proven that a quality evolving experience can be funded by at-will in-app purchases. I don't need to pay you every month for the digital version of a new book a few times a year! So, yeah, the status quo is okay by me. [/QUOTE]
