I have a tablet pc and find the program extremly useful. Does anybody else have any experience with it? Any tips or tricks you could share? My favorite thing
to do is make quickly tabbed statblocks with highlights.

I do not have a tablet or a laptop, but I use OneNote and Hamachi to connect my game NoteBook to the tablets that two of my players have. I put pictures,
complex rooms, background info that the PCs would know, etc. and have them open up the relavant tab, when needed in game. Since I load most of this stuff as
my friends are driving to my house and they are good about not peeking ahead, it woks out really well. I also use OneNote notebooks not connected to the
shared game notebook to create things for later movement into the shared game notebook.

I am thinking of trying out MapTool or something similar for the next table top game I run, as I have a computer hooked up to the 46 inch flat screen TV -
almost begs to be used for gaming.

We are having ongoing discussions about electronics at the table, from dice rollers to computers. My main rule currently is to have a device that is small so I
can see the players face or has a form factor that does not consume too much space. I use a tablet that I put on a seperate table for Hp and random notes. The
majority of my players use of Iphone dice rollers and this is another part I am struggling with. I love dice and I like to watch players roll but no one else
cares and considers me silly for trying to require physical dice. Oh well to be the oldest at a table.

I did have an iPhone dice roller, but i got bored with it almost instantly. Dice are a tool of the trade. There's nothing quite so awesome as calling out
"don't worry guys, I'll recover this turn and kick his ass", then everyone cheering as your dice just tumbles onto a 20 for your
recovery check.
Or when you instantly regret calling out "Bring it fool!" to the DM, as all his dice roll what you know, terribly, is above your defenses... Notably Unstable,
