[QUOTE="Iron Chef BBQ, post: 840721, member: 1844"] [b]ScarredLands Story Writer[/b] Hi! I'm a player in KidC's Scarredlands run, known on the boards as Piratecat's ScarredLands Story Hour, and I write the storyhour. I take notes during the game. I especially note funny dialogue, and usually take round-by-round notes on fighting, but then I don't write the fights like that. I just highlight the key actions. I don’t find note-taking interferes with playing. Sometimes in combat we have to wait when it’s my turn while I finish writing, but it hasn’t really slowed us down. I manage to eat, write and lob magic missiles all at the same time. How’s that for multi-tasking! PC and KidC give great descriptions of places and things, so that makes my job easier. I embellish a lot, and make some stuff up (like dialogue). I have to work hard to bring the other PC's to life and not dwell on my own. I might recommend if someone in your game will write for you that they try to write as their character. Writing would be out of character for my sorceress, but a bard is a likely chronicler. Often when I write something more from memory than notes, I’ll email it to all the players to get feedback pre-posting. Have fun! Looking forward to seeing your stuff. [/QUOTE]
