Message: <blockquote data-quote="Old One" data-source="post: 137399" data-attributes="member: 83">A Little of Both...Valavien,I try to make good pre-game notes, then summarize important happenings in a campaign log after the session.  Corey is our "Imperial Scribe", responsible for taking notes during the game (which he then writes up in journal form from Quintus' perspective).  Tortoise (Rowan) is our "Imperial Quotemaster" and he records humerous quotes and anecdotes.I do have a pretty good memory and if I do the full write up within a day or two of the session, everything is pretty accurate.  Lately, however, I have been unable to get to the write ups for a week or two postgame.  I give bonus XP for postgame journals...Corey and Tortoise are regular writers, with Lew's player submitting journals a little less frequently. I narrate the action pretty much as it happened, although I sometimes take some "creative license" to bring in background elements that either weren't obvious to the players or that they didn't see.  I try to capture all of the major events (who dropped who, fumbles, crits, spell use) and include important narrative by both PCs and NPCs.  Sextus' player regularly spouts awesome lines (for which I wish I had a tape recorder) and Corey has been known to give a good speech or three.I do forget things from time to time or misattribute a quote or action, but the players are good about catching and correcting mistakes (they have full permission to post here to correct me as needed).Hope that helps...~ Old One</blockquote>
