Ywriter is all I want in software to keep track of my game. However using chapters for notes is much more organized.Īs I’m betting you already have some digital notes in some form or rather you will be happy to know that Ywriter can import RTF’s and TXT files as scenes. The other option would be to add these kind of notes to the project notes tab. Then for each topic, like races or religions creating a new scene. For example I have Gameplay Notes(for custom rules and races) and World Notes(for world building stuff). Ywriter not only gives you a place to keep this kind of info but encourages it.įor your world building notes I recommend creating new chapters for different subjects. Keep track of what your NPC’s want to make them seem like real moving characters rather than only reacting to your players. You can also add a bio as well as notes and goals. You can also add a description if you want to remember how you want to describe them. When you add a character to your game you can give them a name as well as alternates(maybe their secret identity). I make sure that any important locations visited are marked and although I have not used the items tab yet, I could use it to keep track of a magical artifact or anything else I needed to. I make sure any characters that aren’t no named goons and who have a shot of coming back in a following game get an entry in the character tab. There is also a place for notes and goals. For your game think of each chapter as a session, and have a different scene for your prep notes, and then one for your summary of what actually happened.Įach scene has tabs to keep track of what characters, locations and items are present.
Ywriter helps organize a novels chapters into parts and then dividing those chapters into scenes. You won’t have to worry about forgetting your NPC’s or your magic items names any longer. Taking notes helps and with Ywriter, software meant to help write novels, you can have detailed, sectioned notes and plans as well as wrap ups easily.
You just don’t have the capacity to remember all that crap. I’m talking about your job, your school, your family. But it is hard to avoid.Īs Gamemasters we are busy, we have a lot of important things to do, and I’m not talking about the game. Gamemasters know that in between games they are going to forget NPC names, locations, items, and what-have-you.
