Is that your preferential order for updates?
I think mine would be export to PDF, spell checker (though I'm finding someone's suggestion of TinySpell to be helpful), journals, calendars then printing. Export to PDF first, because you can print a PDF, at least usually you can. Calendars comes so low down the list for me because both my games use a standard calendar. -- Lexin GM from Gwynedd, Wales - seriously old school - playing RPGs since 1980!

IMO Spell Check is so far down the list, it doesn't make a list, except perhaps "things to do" when we have core things done. For spell check to be truly useful would require the ability to custom set "unknown or unusual words" and potential alternate languages, just to name a few obstacles. If I can get something outside of realm works to do what I want in the interim I'll make do with it (have for years with the calendar). But if there are feature(s) that cannot be easily executed outside of RW, then it is those elements that are paramount to the core worth of RW as a game management tool. It doesn't mean I would not utilize other features, it is simply being realistic with LoneWolf's resources. Even though I have a workaround for time tracking (within a separate calendar) not having it in RW makes the RW tool far less useable than it should be. I don't really need the export of PDF, but can see how others might. Some sort of mass export/import of the data (that I took Numerous hours inputting) if I desired to would seem reasonable and would make large scale corrections or modifications much more manageable than to have RW do it internally.. From my game management perspective, Journals are not high, however to my players they would be very useful since owning the Player version is near worthless without that ability to separate by each character's perspective knowledge.

That thing drove me loopy on a regular basis, which is why (well, one of the reasons) I don't have one in campaigns I run currently. -- Lexin GM from Gwynedd, Wales - seriously old school - playing RPGs since 1980! Tools: Realm Works, HeroLab, Campaign Cartographer 3+ |

Well, that was just a set up for my incredibly original joke. :-)
It was also a tongue-in-cheek reference to the reoccurring and often heated thread-battles over development priorities (despite the fact that RW clearly stated their priorities and the methodology used to rank those priorities). As to what my personal priorities are... calendars Given the fact that nothing is going to happen before the content market is released, because that is where RW's bread, butter, and bacon are going to come from, I'll compromise with: 1. Content Market. 2. Calendars. I also know, however, that calendars is much further down the actually development road map and relegated to "sometime soon, hopefully by end of 2015 but we won't promise." I'm probably misstating that liberal paraphrase, and I'm sure someone will call me out on it, but I've found it better for my sanity to put it in the "long time from now bucket". At least I've become sincerely enthusiastic about the content market and web version. So I have something to look forward to in the "coming soon" bucket. I've made my peace with the current state of custom calendars, but once support for custom calendars IS added to RW, I will love the program to a level that borders on inappropriate.

It would make games so much easier and more fun to have the players have access to an interactive version they can use during play independent of me putting things on a screen, and which works on any laptop or tablet they happen to have. I have not succeeded in making an iPad into a second screen - I suspect it's not possible with my current computers with the limitations that the iPad apps which are supposed to do this have. (None of the apps work if your computer has something called 'dual graphics switching'. Whatever this is, both my computers have it. ) I do have one player who's going to be a hard sell on anything which expects him to use a screen or tablet - he works in IT and complains he already spends far too much of his time looking into a computer screen, so the web version does need to be well shiny. He was impressed, though, with the way that RW allowed me to show a map on screen and reveal it slowly so there is hope. -- Lexin GM from Gwynedd, Wales - seriously old school - playing RPGs since 1980!

Spell checker is probably lower on the priority list because you can just copy/paste fom a word processor into realm works... Which I do fairly regularly.
