This blog is like a campaign notes repository for me. Prep is just good old fashioned pencil and paper with a lot of googling to learn more about fun little D&D things. I refer to my campaign notes while preparing, which are in a txt file. Sometimes when I am combining all my different elements and lining them up for the session, I will type up the session outline first and then write it down after. That's because as I plan out a session, sometimes I have a cool idea that I need to insert into the above text, and with pencil and paper that's going to get messy.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07263753821685936593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422181426312081107.post-86491799438558475512016-05-09T18:48:41.013-07:002016-05-09T18:48:41.013-07:00Do you use any electonic or software tools (iPads,...Do you use any electonic or software tools (iPads, Evernote, etc) in your prep or during games?

Sometimes it can feel overwhelming to try to juggle a bunch of storylines at the same time. But if you break it down into a little list that is updated after each session, it really is a piece of cake. Also, you can start with just one side story and see how it goes, and then add more if you want.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07263753821685936593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422181426312081107.post-60048540219241408212016-05-08T22:26:51.420-07:002016-05-08T22:26:51.420-07:00Learned a great deal here.

Certainly rare for published material but so necessary for an imersive ongoing setting. I'm going to use many more of these starting now. Also, I've obviously been too conservative with sub plots. Keeping track of them as you do, there's no reason to scrimp on these either. I admire you're free spirited use of anything that might be interesting to the campaign. I've been much too rigid in my thinking in this regard. Great insights here as usual Sean. I hope you continue exposing your GM secrets :DJason Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10308752560098089761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422181426312081107.post-59667358360346200182016-05-06T21:44:38.879-07:002016-05-06T21:44:38.879-07:00Thanks, very helpful.Thanks, very helpful.Davouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07459830395978067892noreply@blogger.com
