And the need for perfection crept in and I found myself always adjusting and fixing.Also, not enough of the players are invested on that level to take time to read. I tried to incentivize the reading of those pages in earlier years on the site but that's was the wrong approach. I've made plenty mistakes, but with those mistakes we learn, right? Hopefully.What I think Obsidian Portal is better for is the odd character prose and stories between sessions. Perhaps documenting a change in the rules, but mostly I have found it to be useful as a creative outlet rather than as something that must be done after every session.I found my short story behind-the-scene encounters were more appreciated by the players than my obsessiveness to record everything or anything pertinent session by session.We play in person, usually twice a month, nothing is recorded as one can do via discord, skype, teams etc. I extended my lounge table, and I use my television monitor which is converted into a PCs for notes, music, pics, maps and looking up stuff. At some point we have a meal, either I've cooked or someone cooks. It is a lot more casual with person-2-person than the demands of online play (at least that is my perspective of it). Your summaries provide a lot of detail, probably more so that I feel may be necessary IMO. This is not a critique but rather I am sympathetic because you do seem to go to much effort and trouble for your campaigns and your players and I'm not sure all that energy you give is being rewarded back to you (this is an assumption on my part). That is my concern. I hope you take that in the spirit that it is meant. What I found interesting/entertaining was the commentary by the player in their session summary.I'll get to some of your other posts I'd like to reply on as and when I can.</blockquote>
