A follow-up from yesterday’s post, though I would also share how I write up an adventure when using the computer (in this case, google docs):
As you can see, I still use colours to highlight things, but the descriptions are shorter.

Do you prep adventures on your computer often? I’ve only ever done that when I wanted to get something published.

I prep on the computer a fair bit, mostly for my on-line game. I tend to write them up as if I was looking to publish them; I think it goes back to my early days when I used to copy how modules did it, and it’s kind of stuck. That said, my notebook notes are very different.

I like to (try to find the time to) write things up fairly formally like this, partly so I overlook fewer things, partly so that when I forget my damn notebook I can grab a copy and print it out.
