Show us some pictures of your gaming, notebook or binder. I’m getting back into using a physical binder now that my games are more in person, and I need the inspiration!
I just have 2 boring large binder with my "old character sheets" and a small cardboard one I use for my current game. I lack drawing skills to customize it, but now I feel like I should add some stickers
I haven't played in person seriously for many years. We're starting a new in-person group here soon, so I'm going to have to figure something out. I have a boatload of 3 ring binders so I will probably do the clear sleeve thing like you do, Mike. And then promptly pull them all out to spread around the table because I am a loose-leaf person at heart.
Not much to show, I just use a ringed notebook for noting down things that happen during the game.
I've found that I prefer A5 format. With A4 it gets big and by the time I get to the bottom of the right page, the notes at the top of the left one are ancient. A5 is easier to manage
I prefer systems where I don't need so many stats. Savage Worlds is the most crunch I can work with. So for the plot I only need a way to check up on ideas and "arcs" and for that I use ObsidianMD on mobile or PC. I'm jumping around different topics a lot, so even having bookmarks in notebook would be hard to work with
I use a leather journal for GM notes.
My player notes are all on PCs, on character sheets or in my head, so no binder for me.
Can you tell I'm a theater of the mind GM?
P.S. nice username. Are you the real Sky Flourish?
