As a player, I often struggle to take notes, because the table is crowded and the scraps of paper I'm writing on end up getting separated from my book or my character sheet. Recently, I taped my character sheet to the inside of a composition book, and now have a "character book", and I've found it makes it much easier to take and keep notes during the session. Even if it's just simple things, like, which items of treasure did we find and who did it go to. (A backstop in case somebody else forgot to write it on their character sheet.)Any record keeping that players can do at the table is a huge help to the DM, because it takes a little more off their plate. Unless your game is a series of walk into a new room, kill everyone in it, take everything out of it, repeat, it's helpful if more than one person can share the burden of keeping the names, places and facts consistent. Players don't need to be transcribing every conversation word for word, but I do think all players should at least make some effort to take some sort of story notes.</blockquote>
