Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jan van Leyden" data-source="post: 5768506" data-attributes="member: 20307">I would separate the NPC descriptions from the event descriptions.The section concerning a NPC should describe her with enough detail that the DM can extrapolate her reactions to unforeseen events.Encounter descriptions have to be complete. Of course NPC descriptions should be referenced, not repeated.Give a timetable of events with the NSCs, so the DM can with one look determine where a specific PC is at what time, something like:"Day 1, high noon, saloon car: NSC1 and NSC2 dining together.Coach 1: NSC3 breaking into compartment of NSC2."You might design these timetables to allow printing out and mounting on a screen. If any of these events is detailed somewhere in the adventure, add a page reference.Provide some forms for the DM to keep track on, like with the relationships between NSCs, knowledge NSCs have about each other and all the minutiae which change during a social adventure.If scenes depend on the result of other scenes or events provide a way to keep track of this info, too.You should cross-reference a lot, so please use hyperlinks in the PDF. By the way, is there a way to have two copies of a PDF open at the same time and design the hyperlinks to be opened in the other version? I mean, something like:PDF1 is named blablabla.pdf, file two is called blablabla_ref.pdf The have the same contents, but a hyperlink clicked on in blablabla.pdf would be shown in blablabla_ref.pdf. This way you could remain at the same position in the text and still see the linked information.</blockquote>
