How do you organize notes for a campaign? I’m using OneNote but it’s real difficult to organize in an intuitive way when things could logically be in many different categories. Hyperlinks, maybe? Google docs for pre-planning and Notepad for real-time notes.
I tend to make cryptic little one or two word notes that are of questionable value down the road; hahaha.

I’m eternally locked to printed Word docs and quick link to my dropbox on my phone. Not the best process, I’m sure, but it’s what I know!

I recommend a single 350pg campaign word doc that has emigrated across multiple laptops over an 11 year period, switching without warning between overwrought, never-used prep work and actually-significant session notes that look like they were typed by a sprinting stenographer. My man. <3

I should show you my NPC voice grid at some point. Because I’m ME, I made myself a SYSTEM. Found it! It works GREAT…when I remember to use it. I also throw it into my NPC template for key characters, so it’s on standby. pic.twitter.com/Ofl3DcpWw0

Google docs for pre-planning, a physical notebook for real-time notes and offline ideas, some of which eventually make it into the Google docs. Pinterest for mood boards and visual inspiration.
