[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5002923, member: 8835"] kind of looks like a partial adventure, at least frokm what I do. I'm not found of the 2 column approach, but then I never manage to get that feature working in Word... I usually put some general adventure info at the top on the first page. Adventure #, name, date PC names, class and level rough summary of where we last left off (a paragraph at most). Writing this first page usually primes the pump for what I'm going to do next, and gives me reminders on who everybody is... where you started in page 1 feels like I'm in the middle of a module, no clue what's going on. for monsters, I like to put in their HP. If this is going to be printed out, I may even do HP circles, so I can just cross them out. If this is going to be run off a laptop, I hyperlink the monster in from d20srd.org I'll also have the map as part of this file. I don't like things to get seperated. The summary on page one would explain if the party is "in the middle" of something, like exploring the Tower of Terror. and who it belongs to. It will mention the basic plot of "Prince Andar is a lich who lives in the top floor. He has turned this wizard's school into his own personal laboratory. Throw in the basic out line of what he hopes to do, which establishes the default timeline. For the OP, he's been running the campaign, so he knows these missing bits. I like to write them down anyway, it helps me remember, especially if time passes due to cancellation or something. [/QUOTE]
