Hey, gang

I haven't GM'd in a while but have a session coming up soon. In the off time I picked up a tablet and would like to utilize it to speed up my sessions and help them run more smoothly (Windows 8.1 tablet).

A while back I seemed to remember seeing people who had put together resources for just such a thing,

Anybody got anything cool to share?

Thanks in advance!

if it can run .net applications, check out OggDude's tools.

I use a Surface Pro 2 for GM'ing. So far Oggdudes toolkit is invaluable. I combine it with One Note, because I can use the stylus to write all over things during play. I also use Evernote to track all the NPC's, Planets, etc.

Yeah. About the only thing I can think about would be a notes database for planet info and NPCs, and maybe a drawing app to bang out quick maps and combat scenes. Maybe the die roller app, but you probably have dice available. Outside of that, I really can't think of anything that would really speed up play.
