(And I do wonder how things might have been different all those years ago if we'd had tablets and such available...)

Despite the size of the book, I have had no issues running the game from it. I have printed up charts and such to help with the criticals, and not with the Judges screen I am pretty set. I do plan to use this awesome app when I get my Skype games going. It is a beautiful companion to the game and I recommend to anyone who wants a more streamline way of looking up charts in the game. If only Rolemaster had something like this back in the day... I don't know what I would have run it on, but it would have been cool.James C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14703699913918871901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-60971472286470979392013-04-11T08:07:55.892-04:002013-04-11T08:07:55.892-04:00This definitely isn't a necessity.

It's a great tool to have though, if you find yourself in a situation where an opportunity to play comes up and no one has books or dice around.Vanguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02787858605708891457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-9582656216748988152013-04-11T06:07:13.769-04:002013-04-11T06:07:13.769-04:00I've never used it in-game.

As a player, you ...I think Jared expresses it well. As a player, you really don't need the app to enjoy the game: DCC isn't complicated, but if you're the kind of person that doesn't want to be distracted by referencing an occasional chart the app does it quickly and seamlessly, keeping your head in the game.<br /><br />Also your 'standard dice' will suffice for most rolls, but you have the app to step in when you need something funky.<br /><br />From a design perspective, I built The Crawler to help me as a GM, and I wouldn't want to run an adventure without it. I'll continue to add features to try and make life just a little easier for those who run games. :)The Purple Sorcererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16845927851512112820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-49703764827343847272013-04-10T22:49:38.522-04:002013-04-10T22:49:38.522-04:00As someone that used Hero Lab for Pathfinder and M...As someone that used Hero Lab for Pathfinder and Mutants and Masterminds, I felt that I needed a program to GM those games. It was the only way I would have enough time to actually run a game.<br /><br />As someone that runs DCC, and has run it with and without the app handy, it's a very handy tool that you don't need, but makes things a little easier at the table.Jared Rascherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05312511493359030139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-9558532772171016052013-04-10T22:03:37.419-04:002013-04-10T22:03:37.419-04:00I've been drawn to DCC by the great reviews an...I've been drawn to DCC by the great reviews and funky old school artwork they use, but hesitate every time I read about the rules and strange dice.<br /><br />It's probably me getting old, but any game which requires an app to organize and filter chunk makes me nervous to try.<br /><br />Sell me on DCC, Tenkar!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09029689845011438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-1309912673326981912013-04-10T22:02:56.967-04:002013-04-10T22:02:56.967-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09029689845011438878noreply@blogger.com
