[QUOTE="Richards, post: 4604428, member: 508"] Whenever we play, I (as DM) have two tracking sheets at hand. One has all of the abbreviated stats of the monsters being used that session (just enough that I can run them), and the other is a PC tracking sheet, that has their various ACs, hit points, box matrices for each of their spells (I tick them off as they are cast), and a large area assigned to each PC where I jot down any spells in effect and so on. The players, for their part, have printed out sheets with a quick description of each of their spells, and a chart showing how many of each level spell they can prepare each day. They make little boxes by each spell prepared, and when it's cast, they check off that box. (As they level up, I updated their spell sheets accordingly and print them up a copy.) As a result, it's generally fairly easy for us to pick up where we left off, mid-adventure, even if it's been four or five weeks since the last time we played. (Sadly, this is becoming more and more the norm.) I generally try not to finish a session in mid-battle, but we always establish a "quitting time" before we start (my players have young children), so I can generally call it quits before we get involved in a big battle that we won't have time to finish that session.
