Good news for ICE fans
« on: December 12, 2012, 01:45:39 PM »
(I know the forum policy against promoting products and services, so I will not mention the product name here.)

I found an e-reader that supports the PDF format.  That means I can put all my ICE books on it and not have to luga bunch of books around.  Since I have arthritis in my spine, this is the best news ever. ;D

Yes PDF's are a big game changer in many ways.

Bacon Law: A book so good all PC's need to be recreated.
Rule #0: A GM has the right to change any rule in a book to fit their game.
Role Play not Roll Play.
Use a System to tell the story do not let the system play you.

Here's what I've done recently as a pre-cursor to GM'ing...

- Combined the RM Classic PDFs into a single PDF
- Added PDF Bookmarks to create a custom Table of Contents in order of "GM importance"
- Put the PDF on my tablet so that most common charts are a single finger tap away. Less common charts are 2-3 taps away

Here's the PDF Table of Contents so far (unfinished). Plus (+) indicates a sub-menu.

+ Static Action Table
+ Move & Maneuver Table
+ Criticals
  Fumble
  Spell Failure
  Resistance Roll
+ Base Spell Attack Table
+ Directed Spell Attack Tables
+ Weapon Attack Tables
+ Claw Law Attack Tables
+ Animals
+ Monsters
+ NPCs
+ ChL, AL, SL, CT, Contents

Typical Sub-menu:

- Move & Maneuver Table
     |_ Maneuver Mods Table
     |_ Swimming in Armor


Things have changed since 20 years ago  ;D
