I am using it even more than before.
The past is a rudder to guide us, not an anchor to hold us back. |

I'm always amazed by these guys who come in saying this or that was promised by the KS and I go look and it isn't in any of the KS stuff. I'm sure all kinds of stuff got passed around by word of mouth but all you had to do was actually look at the actual feature list and the things that are still outstanding, and I'm not trying to make any less of these undelivered promises, is the CM and calendars.

Maybe some DMs really need those distinct features e.g. exclusive player reveal or calendars. For some items, there are workarounds like tables or exporting the data now with the custom tool.
For others like the individual player reveal - I would think that this isn't really a complete showstopper. Are there that many events that the whole group isn't a part of? Are you as DM spending all the time to setup individual snippets / topics containing the information that only certain players of a group should have? Of course it would be great - but I suppose that it is not necessarily a show stopper. In my group - no player would ever take a peek into the revealed player content I think. Maybe it would change with the web reveal who knows.. Maybe I will try exporting stuff to a webpage to test it, but at the table it would be unlikely to be worthwhile. To sum it up Iam happy with RW and it's getting better and better. I would have wished that I would be owner of this lifetime pass, but heard about RW after the KS edition was finished. Still sad. But monthly payments for a bit of syncing and cloud storage will not make me pay that. As suggested in other threads - Bring major features as paid expansions. Ppl can buy what they need. Provide a basic online storage or synching capability for free. bye bye Join the (unofficial) Realm-Works IRC Chat: #realm-works on the Rizon Network (https://wiki.rizon.net/index.php?title=Servers) -> Browser Client: https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.rizon.net |

There are campaigns built around different players knowing different things. It's not really my thing but it's one of those things that keeps coming up.
But I do really need calendars. I use the history of my campaign world extensively. my Realm Works videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZU...4DwXXkvmBXQ9Yw |

I try not to even think about the fact that I've written an entire additional campaign arc for my main realm that my players will likely never see.

HappyDevil, be glad you are not retired then... I average about 4-6 hours a day inputting data. Have since it came out in beta. The upside is when the 64bit build was released it made things much more nimble. When you have most of the Paizo and WotC stuff in and spend your time whiling away the others on ALL OF THE 3RD PARTY stuff (and there is so freaking much of it!) every little bit of speed helps!

I like doing it. I do something a little different each one I do. The first one is a mess, there is stuff everywhere, but I learned, I improved. Combined with that I can now run it on my surface pro for a whole session thanks to 64bit without it crashing I am a happy camper. |
