[QUOTE="GameOgre, post: 6596121, member: 57914"] Ways I shaved off a lot of time(or a little that added up). Wrote down only differences in monsters verse normal monster of that type(like hit points) otherwise just listed a page number, also used post it notes to mark each page in the book, stopped with fancy cool looking dungeons that nobody but me would ever see(my maps now look like arrows and squares with numbers on them or letters in secret door or trapped ect) Instead of tons of background info and descriptions of people places and things now I write short blunt to the point things to jar my memory #22a Sick Torture room, partial corpses everywhere, 1/2 orc cult fanatic(remember to play him cheerful and kind speaking while covered in blood)#345 Treasure- he has 11 gold in his pockets but in his desk there are valuable odds and ends (mementos) 160 gold worth. Will bargain for life, knows this level and the one above. Before That encounter might have taken up a page full of maps and stat blocks and notes. Also if the night is going very well for the party and they are much faster than normal I might reuse encounters but with different flavor text. Use #22a but it's the head Lord's Butler for his personal rooms(mementos are now things the butler stole from guests) Servants Quarters. [/QUOTE]
