That is why I keep recommending to buy RW player edition or even GM edition, as one of my players is a GM himself for another system. Maybe they will do so, maybe not. I think ones the story gets more and more complicated, they will want to have their own player edition. For HL, I don't see the need to buy them licenses or even keys to my license. I have a printer. I can print their characters for them, one each session if they want, no problem. Plus, it adds to the pen & paper feeling to actually use pen & paper instead of having everyone hide behind a screen. I as a GM can keep track of everything, I have to anyway because I manage combat with HL. And if they want to use Herolab to create characters as spare or just for fun, they will either have to buy Herolab themselves or come an hour early before a game session starts. I always offer that to give them the opportunity to tweak their characters without being under pressure because everyone is waiting. So, they are free to take some notes at home and enter them into my herolab version to validate them and play around a bit with different builds. I stopped using VTTs, mainly because I don't feel there is a convenient one for Shadowrun. They all require a lot of custom texturing or whatever and that takes away from my time to actually prep a session and built an interesting world. Althoug I have to admit that I really regard with envy some users and their virtual battle map monitors. Magnificent! :-D But for my purposes, a white board is absolutely sufficient at the time and it actually increases immersion of the players because they need to make more use of that thing called imagination ;-) |
