[QUOTE="Jan van Leyden, post: 5039683, member: 20307"] I prefer the pertinent details of an encounter to be concentrated in one place, not scattered through the whole adventure. Yes, I do think WotC's Delve has its advantages. :) The perfect solution for me would be an electronic document shown in two windows: one for the text part, the other for the encounter description. For longer adventures, please give us a DM's checklist: mark off the plot points reached, make a note on the outcome of some situation, reaction of a NSC to the characters - stuff like this, which may easily become lost in the note shuffle. For adventures with lots of named NSCs I want a list of those NSCs with a shorthand description (personality, quirks, goals) and a page reference to the full description. Use cross-references within the adventure, lots of cross-references, and use page numbers for the references. Collect crunch-stuff and your new mechanics in a separate chapter in the back of the module. Personally, I'm looking for a cool plot, variability, and interesting sites in this order. Please present the plot early in the text and present it completely, so that I can read up on it and reference it easily without thumbing or clicking through lots of pages. As you can see I want some help for my DMing tasks. I'd rather have the author compiling the listable stuff than me having to do it. [/QUOTE]
