After a while, when you have everything going smoothly, look back over your old notes and see what you used and what you didn't. Then you will be able to gradually pare your preparations down to what is actually needed for your style of GMing.As for myself, I make few and scanty notes. I sketch family trees as a quick aide memoir in political intrigues. I jot down NPCs names as I introduce them into play, along with their ages and a few brief reminders of their appearance, manner, and what they do, to help me keep them consistent. For a very elaborate campaign I keep a notebook with one double-page spread for each PC and for each institution or important location, so that I can find my NPCs and sketch-maps quickly during play.Regards,Agback</blockquote>
