I have now run 2 events using OPS-Center as the event management tool, ( rather than the ASC Forum)

As an early adopter I get to ride all the rapids .. and hit all the bumps. and there have been a few.. but really very few.

I have found that OPS Center has simplified my life as a Game host, the hallmark of good software is , does it actually make a task easier and free up time for other things, and the answer to that with respect to OPS-Center is an unqualified YES.

As a game host the largest aspect of managing an Event before the day is dissemination of the game details, the rules and the establishment of sides and factions.. then it is the daily management of a growing game thread as people post in , out, sideways and you have to plow through posts about all kinds of things to cull out the people who have indicated they are coming from the people who are just chatting about the game in the forum thread.

With the direct link to OPS-Center from the Forum page people can see with one glance the main details regarding the game and then can click to go to OPS-center.. I don't have to waste time editing the first post of the game thread every day.. again another time saver.

OPS-Center permits me to create the game, set the rules , provide a map to the field and it self manages the sides and factions, players post in , and out as they want and the list is automatically updated..

I intend to manage all my events through OPS-Center, because in a word it works and it saves me time.

If you host games you have to get on OPS-Center, once you do.. you will wonder how you got on without it.

I'm looking forward to more features and refinements on OPS-Center as more people adopt it.
