How do you keep your GM notes?

I continue to use OneNote. I installed a he pre-windows 10 mandatory version because I like it better. One feature in both versions is the ability to have to copies open at the same time. The ability to go back and forth between them is awesome.

Fall of 2023 I ran Nights Black Agents in Savage Worlds. For that game I also used a shared Google doc for clues and leads. I just copied and pasted from OneNote so it wasn’t much work. The players used it so I guess it’s worth using again now that we have started the Dracula Dossier (again SWADE).

For years I kept my notes on Scrivener.

Then I needed a more player-facing approach and tried Obsidian Portal and then Kanka.io and didn't love either of them.

Ended up with Legend Keeper in the last few campaigns and love it. Fast and easy to work with, liked a souped-up wiki. It's great.

The times I don't need player-facing notes, I use Obsidian.md, a fantastic notes and organization app with an amazing user-base. (I continue to use Scrivener I for my professional writing).

Same here. Legend Keeper when I need to share campaign wiki/maps/info with my players, and Obsidian for my own notes depending on the game. I was pretty impressed with Legend Keeper, it was everything I was looking for in a rpg campaign management app.

Notebooks and OneNote (2010) keep files on a USB drive.

I've been using OneNote for a number of years now (both on the GM side and in one of my groups we use it extensively on the player side as well). With the pages and sub-pages it's easy to organize, I can copy/paste images or maps or text or tables or whatever and arrange or re-arrange it as I like on the page, and while text formatting is basic it's enough to make lists, highlight important bits to myself, and etc. Plus it's auto updating to be accessible on multiple devices or directly through the web. (And free too!)
