[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 5768582, member: 2093"] I would go with an overview of the trip, and a timeline of major events. Then I would list each NPC in alphabetical order, outlining how that person behaves each day, or during each major scene, and with a brief statement of their ultimate goals and methods. Then I would go into details on each scene, chronologically and geographically. For example: 9 am in Car One, 9 am in Car Two, and then the Dining Car, the Sleeper, etc...from front to back of the train. Then start the next major time division...if a locale isn't mentioned during a particular period, and an NPC isn't mentioned either, then the DM can decide where he/she is during that period. I like the idea of having a chart that cross-references each major NPC with each major scene. I think that could help a lot. [/QUOTE]
