[QUOTE="meomwt, post: 5408983, member: 47885"] If I'm writing my own stuff, I use almost exclusively a PC. For 3.xE D&D, there is a huge library of monsters, spells and so on available free and legal which I can drop into the text, plus output from (for example) HeroForge or another NPC building tool. Then I print the lot out and use paper copy at the table. I dislike using a laptop, I can flick through a paper copy faster and easier. I prefer over-writing for a game session if I have time, though I can run from rough notes and cribs if needed. I'm currently running an SRII campaign and once the Johnson has given the runners a lead, they can be very much on their own and able to wing it. Their mission to do an insurance job on a listed building, for example, didn't go as I'd planned: instead of breaking in and committing arson, they dropped an unmanned drone out of the sky onto it (and managed to get exclusive footage to sell to the News-media, to boot).
