Session journals. If you take the time to write up the details of the last session, you can often repeat the subtler clues, and otherwise generally steer the reader - i.e. your players - in the 'right' direction. Obviously, though, you shouldn't be writing a work of fiction, so the journal *must* accurately reflect what went on.Sometimes a clue just doesn't come out right, or the players are distracted by another priority, or they have no in-game reason to believe anything they're told by that NPC, or whatever. When they come to read the journal, they may have a clearer head and see something they missed.Plus you get to stretch your writing muscles and create a good record of the campaign in the process. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
