Hello,

I recently saw the annoucement for the new ASUS Eee PC and EasyNote XS - two rather cheap UMPCs and somehow I thougt, that this little toys would make a great GM Helper (as my own laptop is simply to big for the gaming table), at least if there was a good tool for this job (that simply helps the GM bookkeeping)... Of course such a tool should also be runnable on a "normal" Laptop or Desktop PC.

So I started asking myself, what I would like to have as a GM...

- Organize Characters (PCs and NPCs), simply click them toegether for a combat
- Combat Sheet (sort the combatants by Initiative, show damage taken, etc.)
- Organize Text-Notes (Legwork-Info, Notes, Descriptions, etc.)
- Display Images (for example for the "GM Version" of Floorplans)
- Dice rolling (if the GM forgot his own dice *g*)
- Save all Data belonging to an Adventure together

...bundled toegether in one program, especially with the ability to mainly rely on the keyboard (mouse just takes space).

So the big question is: What would you like to see in such a tool? What do you need as a GM on the table?
