[QUOTE="cougent, post: 3888843, member: 48665"] I am preparing an old laptop to use as a DM resource for a new game I am starting. I have used a computer as an OOG resource for years but have never brought it to the table before. So I am looking for some insights from those who have done this already. What are the best resources to have loaded, and where can I get them? (Preferably free or cheap) Do you use an electronic dice roller or still use dice? (I like the sound and feel of dice myself, but I can see the advantages of an electronic dice roller for secrecy) Do you use Ebook PDF's? I am not even sure what else to ask, just looking for advice on a good setup for this poor machine. As i said it is old: Toshiba Tecra 8100 P3, 850 MHz, 256MB ram (upgrading to 512) and a 12 GB HDD (another possible upgrade fairly cheap) but aside from the 5 minute boot up for XP it is not too bad. All positive suggestions will be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
