[QUOTE="Ziona, post: 334592, member: 484"] I keep a journal at the table with me and do exactly as you said...I write down actions and attacks, notable quotes and diologue. It can be time consuming, but I find that it works best. I have tried to record the sessions onto cassette, but I find that it can make people a little nutty (either they don't want to be on the tape or they make goofy comments at the recorder.) So, I'd rather just jot things down (I'm up to 1 1/2 journals now) that way I can also take notes on things I notice as well. It can be tough sometimes when you're trying to write something down & it's your turn, or if you get up to use the lav & missed something, but I think the journal works best. We have a big battle coming up tomorrow, and there are going to be so many people there (we're having "special guests" play NPC's) that we've decided to video tape it. But, the plan is to have the camera aimed at the table with the minis & the Master Maze & not at the players. This way, no one feels awkward about being on tape, and it stays focused on the game. I am pretty interested in seeing how this goes. I'll let you know if it's worthwhile. :) [/QUOTE]
