[QUOTE="Derulbaskul, post: 4781948, member: 1581"] I prepare all my games on one of my computers. I have all my files on a portable hard drive so I just take them with me so sometimes I will work on my adventures etc... while I am on a plane (Emirates has power in every seat now... and my EEE PC is good for four or more hours anyway). My preference is to use my desktop so I do my preparations in my house in Australia and my house in Singapore on the desktops I have there but working from the same portable hard drive that I travel with. If I DM at home I use books and hard copies of everything (although I might break out the laptop to show pictures) together with miniatures, counters and a battle mat. If I DM away from home then I use my laptop extensively taking only a minimum number of books (and relying on PDFs for everything else) but I still prefer to use "character sheets", as in printed stat blocks, for my monsters. Sometimes I use real dice and sometimes I use something on my PC to do that. Typically I use the PC if I am "cheating" (always in the party's favour). I am contemplating playing online soon in which case I will go the "whole hog" and use Skype and some sort of virtual table (but I suspect if this happens my players will continue to use real dice). However, my players are fairly henpecked by their wives so the chances of them being allowed to game online uninterrupted are too low for this idea to really work (so I need to find other players!).
