ICRPG is not that complicated that you need the automation. IMHO refusing to do the math of a couple of bonuses added to a die roll insults the “Nerds” that we are. (No offense intended).
RE: D&D 5e and other complex games, I get it. It does slow the game down… I don’t play them alot for the same reason, but using software to help is not the same as playing the game at the table. Learning the rules and making yourself a better player is part of the whole experience. That includes the math…
That’s why I think it’s a video game…
This is strictly my opinion… Playing RPG’s and learning the rules by manually making the calculations is part of the investment into the game. I compare it to learning math. If you don’t take the time understand the formula’s without tools, you won’t understand how they work or what to do when the outcome is not what you expected. I come from a different generation that has had to learn things without the use of software in their everyday lives, so my viewpoint make be skewed.
