SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Krimson;916600@Estar I don't think I'll be getting a second or third monitor anytime soon. Though I've considered getting a Windows Tablet so I could run Fantasy Grounds and Hero Lab and use them for face to face games. If I got a big enough tablet with a decent keyboard then working in portrait mode would be easy enough.

Get a desktop or laptop and a touch monitor instead. Lie the monitor flat. I suggest this because a larger monitor is a lot cheaper than a larger tablet.

Well I still have an old school HP Laptop with a built in Wacom function, and the thing I didn't like about it was the heat it generated. A modern windows tablet might be more expensive but during warmer months I wouldn't have to worry about using a space heater. :D

I'm picturing a Japanese kotatsu with a cutout to drop the monitor into. :-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kotatsu

Nowadays, at least for the ones we have at work, the LCD monitors produce more heat than our desktops.
