Everyone with laptops are encouraged to bring them to the game once it gets started. Why? Many reasons:
1) I will be updating boards, sometimes mid-game to represent news events and headlines.
2) If you need to tell me something all secret like, you can IM me mid-game.
3) Ron has been nice enough to build a dice rolling program for those people that don't feel like counting up a million dice pips.
4) Having hero-designer is handy - particularly if you decide to play someone with something wacky like a VPP.
Your internet works finally?
