Realm Works was just becoming viable for me to use consistently again - I love what Farling was doing with the export tools for "if" I wanted to compile my campaign info into a large document I could put on my dropbox or even *ugh* print into a binder for the players that are techno-illiterate. |

Honestly even cell service at most conventions is useless, so online tools are useless for anyone that runs games at the conventions. Gencon it's impossible to get any bandwidth in the convention center. |
You don't need online access to use Realm Works, it has a run offline option.
I do most of my work on the desktop. Then sync to the cloud. Even if the cloud were not an option, I could backup my database. And then from that saved backup, transfer the file to the backup location on the laptop. And restore from backup (the file that was originally backed up from the desktop) onto the laptop. Assuming the cloud works at home, sync the laptop from the cloud. The gaming laptop is now up to date, and doesn't need the cloud to run Realm Works. If you have online access, you can create new realms, but you shouldn't need that at the gaming place/convention. If you have online access, you can sync your changes from the laptop to the cloud. If you don't have online access, you can just boot your laptop at home when you do, and sync the information there, for retrieval from your desktop system. You don't actually have to sync while you're at a place without internet access. Do it ahead of time and then do it after the fact. Or just export the database from the most recently used machine and transfer that file to the less recently used machine and then restore database from there, getting the newest version on the other device(s). |

I beg to differ about bandwidth at Gencon. I'd had no problems with bandwidth including HLO for multiple 5 hour sessions EXCEPT when the HLO server itself was down or extremely slow.

@Farling, I'm not sure what you mean. I was in the the convention center for 11 hours each day and 5 hours on Sunday. @timgray stated it was impossible to get bandwidth and I'm saying I had no problems with bandwidth.
