to my fellow DMs/GMs/MCs/whatever your #TTRPG noun of choice is: what does your notetaking setup look like, if you keep notes? Pen and paper? Tablet? Specific software? Other?

Also, keeping info available for your players: do you have a website for them, or just remind them of things when they ask, or something else?

@stoppableforce I started out using hyperlinked Tomboy Notes on my laptop, and my heart still aches with nostalgia for those sessions. I eventually came to an analog sensibility, and until the pandemic ran out of a tabbed three-ring binder of adventure worksheets filled out by hand. Probably still my favorite way to run D&D, although I've been using #ObsidianMD since 2020 to run Star Trek, Star Wars, and D&D. It's miles ahead of Tomboy circa 2001.

@stoppableforce I was, for a minute, using folios for a lightweight solution, but neither of those campaigns got off the ground, so I don't know how the setup would hold up under repeat game time loads.

@stoppableforce Oops, forgot to link to the post with pictures. Basically it's a lined notepad with big and little pockets for handouts, character sheets, etc. all wrapped in [faux] leather.

Attached: 3 images @mcruentatus I'm going through a minimalist phase and plan on running my next game with just a folio of a) handouts and b) blank notepad.
