I do way too much RW work....

And I got a bugged topic on this build 1/2 way through a consignment module.... Le Sigh (start over, or wait for fix, that's the dilemma)

that is big, but I have no big maps or pictures, few tiny jpgs/pngs, rest is all text under topics.

I've got 12 realms at the moment (planning to add another 15 by Jan 1).
Each has smaller images (portraits and whatnot), Maps, some have a 2 sheet PDF character Sheet or two, and that's about it.

All in all, my realms are just text on text on text with a map for a dungeon and an image where it makes sense. I add Hero Lab files where available, but not always. I find that generally a statblock (in a text snippet) or a PDF attachment will do just fine.

Thankfully, mine's nowhere near that big.

I'm getting there.

I figure I'll cap out at 3GB by April (I'm doing publishing work on consignment).

It really starts to add up. I hope to able to start transferring completed realms soon.

3.17 gigs of Glorantha goodness over here. It needs some cleaning up, but I'm waiting for realm transfers first.

How do you tell how big your realm is?
Is there a realm info feature somewhere?

I'd assumed they'd gone into Explorer and looked it up that way.

[Parody]

Yeah, the closest you can get at this point is looking at the size of your local database, which includes all of your synced realms.

[AEIOU]

Look in file explorer for file size of your Realm (which is actually the size of ALL of your realms if you have multiple) and you can also check number of topics from the same place that you delete realms (don't slip and click the wrong thing...). Number of links is nice so maps and such don't skew things, but it counts all links no matter how much (or little) has been added -- so an empty stub is weighted the same as a novel's worth of text.

Two ways
Inside RW, in the realms pane, where you sync you realm to the cloud, click the tool icon at the right of each realms line. Choose manage realm data. Just always cancel out of that next screen.

If you want to know the raw size of your DB file, open a windows explorer window, not IE, into %appdata% into the address window. open the LWD technology, Inc. folder and the Realm Works folder inside that. The MASTER.realm file is your DB.
