upcoming redesigned Hoosier Hacker House website has released to me a sort
of questionnaire concerning some ideas he's had. I am forwarding it to the
audiences that I am aware of, which include all of yourselves. Please
answer the following. The answers can be very open in form.
PLEASE RESPOND TO ME PERSONALLY AND NOT TO THE LIST FROM WHICH THIS CAME.
If you have any questions, please forward those to me as well.
<begin forwarded questionnaire>
> I have a mildly strange request to ask of you. I am seriously considering
> furthering a small, modular project. To really kick me down this biker
> trail I am in need of answers to a relatively small nonfloridan
> survey. ;-) More importantly than that, I need answers to these questions
> from someone who has been "in there" longer than I.
>
> And I would really appreciate it =)
>
> ========================================================================>
> Do electronic aids assist or detract from the gaming experience?
>
> What informational aids (books, papers, programs, etc.) are most commonly
> accessed?
>
> Are electro-mechanical device an obstruction to game play or further
> enhancement of the experience?
>
> Would "bookless gaming" be a positive influence of a given session and
> why do you feel that way?
>
> Would you find interest in being able to upload a character to a vault
> server for storage and other services?
>
> Would you find interest in being able to download characters and session
> utilities such as NPC generation, inventory generation, or kill
> counting applications, to mobile/PDA devices (not excluding the PC)?
>
> Have you noticed player patterns in the types of data searched for in rule
> books or other information tools necessary for play of given game.
>
> As a referee, are there cases where you would allow players to hold
> and perform outside the normal play session virtual jobs with their
> computing devices that utilize characters that would be used only during
> your session with the assumption that what is gained outside the play
> session could be applied "live"?
>
> And finally, what would you think the life span of an application that
> accesses a database of house rules on a portable electronic device
> (PDA) structured specifically for quick searching extend towards (minutes,
> hours, days)?
>
> =======================================================================>
> Thanks! =)
