Realm Works, however, does not have an iOS version and is unlikely to have one given what they've said about a web client being the solution for non-Windows OSes. Also, from what I understand, interprocess communication is non-existent on iOS.

PbP has also opened up new doors for me, and now I game with folks from all over the world. It does take an adjustment in expectations as far as game pacing. |

Hi there!
I use the GM version for 2 games in which Iam the player. Sometimes it distracts from listening, so actually I try to enter things I want to remember in afterwards. But a few times I got sloppy already. And if I dont understand a name correctly its a bit of a hassle to ask again, so the quality is not that good. But in general I like it. Hindsight it might be too much work handling all this, needing to do even more entries in RW which distracts me from my own world building. Its possible, good, useful, but I discourage GMs from doing it. Enjoy your game. Only make important notes 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 |

I have used RW as a player for a couple of campaigns. The first was King Maker where we were doing a lot of mapping. Everything I entered was revealed and I invited everyone who had a copy of RW. I found it helpful to keep track of towns, dangerous areas that we needed to go back and clear, and people we met and where we met them. And it all linked to each other to make it easier to retrieve information.

The more someone tries to cram in every detail, the harder it is to use at the table as a player.
For Play-by-Post, where the player has plenty of time to pick out pictures and copy-paste text, it is much easier. With that in mind, it may be better to take paper notes at the table, and copy those into RW between sessions -- rather than trying to create topics and type it all without slowing the session. |

That's the plan.
Even the hand drawn maps I made I'll put in as pictures. Hopefully it will help us remember stuff! |
