[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7943648, member: 29398"] Sticking just to paperwork and ignoring other things like dice, etc. and stuff in player folders... In the binders are: [LIST] [*]infrequently-used charts and tables [*]maps [*]homebrew monster and magic item write-ups [*]stats and records [/LIST] On and behind the DM screen are: [LIST] [*]frequently-used charts and tables [*]game-world calendar including moon phases and major holiday or celebration dates [*]notes pertaining to here-and-now effects etc. on specific characters [*]game log sheets (includes treasure list, xp notes, what-happened notes, dates, etc.) [*]maps and notes on, or the module for, the most recent, current, and potentially next adventure [*]character sheets for party NPCs [*]a bunch of rulebooks (DMG, several MMs, etc.) [/LIST] Elsewhere nearby are: [LIST] [*]character sheets for dead or retired characters both PC and NPC [*]printed 'forms' for player use for character finances, xp tracking, and a character sheet template [*]archived game log sheets and notes, and archived adventure notes/modules [/LIST] Online or in my computer (but would otherwise be paper, and once were) are: [LIST] [*]spell write-ups [*]pantheon and deity write-ups [*]the 'blue book' of houserules that now almost completely replaces the PH [*]player-facing game logs and notes [*]magic item lists and prices [/LIST] There's probably things I missed, but that gives a good idea of it. I run at home; were I to run a 'road' game I'd end up taking a box or two of paperwork plus the non-paper supplies e.g. dice, board, etc. [/QUOTE]
