DM organization

Four Levels

Crawl level

Dungeon-specific stuff go in a dungeon-specific place. This means stickies (like “This guard is dead”) in the module if paper, or in an outline file if digital.

The players need to keep track of their character’s own stuff. Their items often have codes, like, “Key SoC23-M” that remind me where I can read more about that item and its properties.

Social level

Town and island stuff go in the A7 box. Rumors and treasure maps and rival groups. Every time I get (or make) a new module, the rumors and hooks that lead into it need to go in here.

How I use index cards for D&D

Geographic level

Domain game stuff and also locations of dungeons and islands go on my huge Inkscape file that has like 30 layers.

The player-facing equivalent go on our wiki.

Meta level

House rules and scheduling go on our wiki. Random tables and DM-facing tools go in my A4 accordion file, which can also house printouts for home-made modules.
