I just picked up an iPad Pro 9.7" and will - of course - want to use it for our game nights. It's a slick little machine, and I'm loving it so far!

Here's what I have so far that's RPG-related:

• FFG Dice Roller.
• The Dicenomicon
• Evernote
• Goodreader
• Syrinscape
• Cardflow (the free version)
• Soundboard Studio Lite

I'm open to suggestions for other gaming-related apps, if you have any! I'm usually GM at my table, if that helps.

For myself, I’ve found that having phones/tablets at the table is usually … problematic. People tend to get distracted by them and end up not paying attention to the game. Even if the things on the electronic device are game-related, I find that still tends to happen.

Personally, with regards to finding an actual useful purpose for my iPad at the gaming table, the one and only thing I’ve ever found is referencing the SWRPG Index at http://swrpg.viluppo.net/

But maybe that’s just me.

EDIT: Don’t get me wrong, I love your ideas, and I may well try them again at some point in the future. But I can say this concept has not worked out for me in the past.

I have an AirPort Express (you can use an Apple TV as well) hooked up to an amp with speakers to airplay music through, pick your streaming music platform of choice and go.

www.tabletopaudio.com for ambient sounds and music. I use power point to go through scenes/encounters.

I've been using Scrivener to organize my notes for Out of Ashes—I don't have that much, since I'm the sort of GM who plots as we go, but I do need to keep my NPCs where I can find them.

I've moved from Evernote to MS OneNote. I like how OneNote organizes notebooks, tabs and pages/sub-pages -- it seems a natural fit for game plans and notes.

I'm also a Scrivener user for module building and NPC tracking. I also use Scapple to whiteboard potential plot hooks and threads.

I haven't even been having to write out modules, but Scrivener's been helping me with what I do have and I love it. NPCs, organized by group... and that's about it, since I tend to just keep the rest in my brain. Easier to change things on the fly that way.

I'm gonna shut up before I start rambling about my group again, though.

I would be more inclined to use Scrivener if I hadn't already bought two PC licenses for it... and rarely use it as it is. If I could transfer one of those licenses to the iPad, I'd pick it up. But yet another twenty bucks for an iPad copy? I don't know. We will have to see.

Notability has proven interesting, since I can load PDFs and then write over them with a stylus (or my fingertip), so I can mark wounds, strain, and other game notes on NPC sheets.
