Until you realize it runs in a browser and you can have it on your phone, or your tablet, or your chrome book, or your laptop, or your internet of things refrigerator. A cnromebook will set you have about $150. The small rule book will set you back $40+ and you still need dividers and chapter H. I recon chapter H is going to set you back at least $20, but I would not be surprised by $40. Dividers are $20. When they get around to the HASL's, if they get around to the HASL's, I bet they cost at least $50. WRT, I have used my chrome book at ASLOk and it will run for a couple of days before it needs power. With a Local copy of the ASLRB, I don't need WiFi. Add to that, my eASLRB is fully searchable and easy to update (thus it hall ALL errata applied). Since I did much of the work, I also added links next to questions which tie to Q&A and Perry Sez answers also stored locally. It is fully cross-linked (a reference to another rule is one click away). It also includes the ASLSK stuff.EASLRB is great until you drop your tablet..............then you have a very expensive hunk of useless metal and plastic, and no rule book....................shucks should have brought the pocket edition. Also the pocket edition does not need batteries, or a power source to operate. darn ..............my batteries just died. Drop the pocket book............just pick it up easy no muss no fuss. Get it wet...............just dry it out and can be used again, like to see you do that with a 1500$ tablet
My chromebook weighs in at about 2lbs (1 kilo). It also has a copy of every scenario I own (all 4500+), along with a PDF of every third-part ASL rulebook, designer notes, etc needed to play things like PiF. I also add to that, a selection of ASL Articles (Medrow series) which I find very helpful and re-read as often as I read my ASL rulebook.
Oh, and if I lose, damage, drop my chromebook in the water, none of my originals are damaged. And I have everything backed up and fully usable on my phone (chrome works there too). All of my files are encrypted and stored in the cloud so even if my house burns down, VASL will always be an option for me. Do all of that in 2lb's of paper. -- jim
