a little help with central computer

[vonshavingcream]

after I GM'd last wednesday, I realized that the players can and will rely on the central computer for help and assistance.

I happen to have a little 7 inch external usb monitor and I thought, it would be pretty cool if central could display some information to them, rather than me just relaying it.

so I did just that, I made a up a little background and then using powerpoint or in my case Impress from the open office suite. I made up a bunch of slides that are relevant to the module.

anyway, I wanted to pass on the idea, and more importantly the background I made, in case anyone else wants to use it.

Lovely idea, it could be used with a phone or ipod touch as well.

just wanted to give an update. the players absolutely love this. And they get such a kick out of it.

I also learned that because it is Judge Dredd (not sure if this would work with other genres), the korney the better. I have been having all kinds of fun with this.
