At first glance the program looked like it could be of some use during gaming for organizing some of campaign's info, however once I started playing around with it, I began to realize this could be a great tool. Since I had a gaming session coming up at the end of the week after purchasing it, I loaded quick links to a number of charts/tables I had also recently purchased as well as entered general info on the campaign lands and some pricing info. When it came time to play, I decided to give it a test run by setting my 3" binder aside and see if I could avoid opening it while using the program. . . It worked great. I was able to call up charts or tables quickly without having to thumb through pages worth of info even with tabs. The time savings the program gave me was significant enough that a couple of my players commented on how much quicker I was able to find things which allowed for more gameplaying. I just wish I had something like this years ago and I plan on getting some of the add on programs later down the road to enhance my GMing behind the scenes. I definitely recommend this to any GM, organized or not.
