Now what I want is data export, not printing, but the steps are the same: create queries, then format the resulting data in a useful arrangement, then present the result to us (the users) in a way with which we can work. |

my whole reason for getting realm works was so i could collate my content and then package it up nicely and export not as digital hosting solution.

I can understand (being an ancient gurnard DM myself) the desire to have the hardcopy of your work, but I can certainly see the appeal to bringing things into the digital age as well. The ability to word search realms consisting of reams of printed data is a nightmare compared to what RW can do digitally. That reason alone is what LWD hopes the user will embrace. BUT, As Parody points out, printing or electronic exporting : the steps are the same. The ability to at least export the data the user has spent hours putting in and arrange it (in RW would be nice, in any program would be satisfactory) as a more finished form than the "database" view it currently resides in is a top shelf need. Implementation of this form of feature crosses into too many in game and off table support elements. From Character backgrounds, gaming summaries, regional histories, who's who list, etc. the need is apparent. |

Why is this even being debated. I've seen other people request features that I don't need or want. While I might have suggested workarounds, I never saw any need to debate the usefulness of the feature. Such a thing boggles my mind. This is one of the top requested features, which means that when LWD turns to user requests, this has a good chance of being on the high-priority list.
If you don't see the need for the feature, then simply don't use it. |

At the same time I agree that if lots of people want this feature then LWD should implement it. Even though I personally would never use it I would not want to prevent a feature from others. Of course I would prefer the features I want to go in first. My 2 cents.

@ShadowChemosh > Like you, I don't foresee a lot of personal use for myself to print, and would also prefer other features first, but I fully recognize not all play (or manage) their games the same. Each experience is different. |
