And Microsoft Windows OS to run the Character Builder, eh? But I think there are people who do just fine without all that. The books still work without being plugged in.Luce said:

Yes, lots of us have used personal computers as assets for role-play games since the PET and Apple II hit the scene more than 30 years ago. Along the way, there have been official utility program releases for 1st ed. Advanced D&D, 4th ed. Champions, and no doubt others.
Some people are making great use of them today in face-to-face play. My gang decided a couple of decades ago that it tended more to face-to-backplane-and-cables play. However, not only have we got all sorts of networked gadgets today that we didn't have back then, but many people are accustomed to being plugged in almost all the time regardless of what they're doing.
