These are some good tips for note taking. I always see my players who want to take better notes struggling to balance note taking with being immersed in the game. I'll be sure to share this with them!

[@aLuckyMuse]

I'm really glad you found it valuable. ☺

Our DM is the one who writes the summaries but I am definitely the note taker of the group. We play online via discord and I found that it's easiest for me to have my notes app open on a different device to write down information chronologically as it is happening. I am also keeping track of the session number, session length, the dates we play, my personal goals (like getting stronger weapons or fighting that one guy who dared to steal from me) and the time that has passed in game as we only have a limited amount of in game time to finish the main quest. I often end up with at least a page of handwritten notes for a 3-4 hour session.

Keeping track of in game time is super useful, even without the pressure of a quest it can help with immersion and perspective. In my other video I show my current D&D journal and I also enjoy keeping track of personal goals- having a quest log is just fun. XD

[@indigo-creates-chaos]

That's very true, and keeping a list of the goals helps me to remember the goals we (me/the character) have. Since I write my notes digitally I can just copy the list of goals from the previous session and add to it/remove things as time goes on. I do not however have a specific log of quests the party does in general, that's written down in the chronological part of my notes in detail.

I don't know why but the way you explained the scratterplot method feels very friendly. Thanks

[@jimg1787]

This was really helpful. I actually felt so guilty about using adblocker I turned it off and went back and rewatched the video.(Sorry) I'm really into character journals I just finished one with a Fallout 3 character actually but this method is way better and allows me to take brief notes while playing and the sit down and write out a page in the character journal from their perspective later. Thanks :)

[@aLuckyMuse]

Oh! A Fallout character journal sounds really cool! I'm glad my video helped you out. :3 And thanks for watching the video without the adblocker, that's high praise and I appreciate it!

[@StrayCC]

This really helps!! I’m finally going to try to be a note taker

[@aLuckyMuse]

Good luck! 😊Let me know how you do, and if you ran into challenges, what they were!

[@DaileyDoseOfJoseph]

I love your Big Key necklace ;.; I appreciate this guide, too!

[@aLuckyMuse]

I'm glad you enjoy both! I love wearing subtle game references, and you can never go wrong with carrying around an extra boss key lol.

[@DaileyDoseOfJoseph]

@@aLuckyMuse love that lol I just incorporated Zelda's small and big keys into the loot in my game as a magical key. Small keys will unlock any non magical locks, and big keys will open even magically locked locks.

[@aLuckyMuse]

@@DaileyDoseOfJoseph That sounds fun! I can imagine that DM's could really just take lots of wisdom from Zelda dungeon mechanics and apply them to dungeons in their games.

[@DaileyDoseOfJoseph]

@@aLuckyMuse there's actually really good videos about that if you just search "Zelda dungeons d&d" and look for the animated KZbin channel
