Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tormyr" data-source="post: 6385677" data-attributes="member: 6776887">I am running a 3.5 to 5e conversion of Age of Worms. So I have to type up pretty much all of the creatures, so take this with a grain of salt.  I have my Age of Worms bestiary in a word file.  Since I am running an AP, I pretty much know what the party can encounter.  I copy over creatures to a new document that is a list of the encounters for a chapter and print that out.  Each encounter starts on a new page and contains all the creatures in the encounter.  These go in a 3 ring notebook.  I then print out spells for the spell casters using my spell card generator so that they are with the encounter and I do not have to flip through the PHB. <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/rpgdownloads.php?do=download&downloadid=1119" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forum/rpgdownloads.php?do=download&downloadid=1119</a>At one point, I kept each encounter on an Excel sheet.  I could include the party members, get XP budget calculated, keep track of initiative, AC and hit points.  However I found that I was missing out on a lot of creature abilities and having to look up damage rolls.  That prompted me to switch to the 3 ring binder.  I now have all of the information at my fingertips.  My typical setup is a tablet opened to the adventure, a laptop and core rule books for looking up various stuff (seldom used), and the 3-ring binder.  I have a small magnetic white board that one of the players uses to track inititiative.  Each character's name is on a dry erase magnet. The player takes everyone's initiative and then arranges the names in order.  That way, everyone knows where they come in the initiative order because they can see it, and someone else takes care of it so I can prep other stuff in the encounter.</blockquote>
