[QUOTE="Herpes Cineplex, post: 1594513, member: 16936"] Looking at our group's history for being able to keep track of anything smaller than an actual book, I'd say that within the first half-hour of using props or index cards, over half of the equipment held by three of our players would disappear completely. The remaining half would be "around here somewhere," but would only be findable about half an hour after it was needed. And then six months later, when we're no longer playing that game, a few particular items that vanished in that first half-hour will reappear mysteriously under the couch, even though everyone looked under there before. So no, we're never going to use index cards. It took about a year to get a couple of our players to get an actual folder or notebook to put their character sheets in (and another month to train them to actually use it!), and that's about all the behavior modification we have the patience for these days. -- we have one cleric player who uses spell cards and it hasn't worked very well at all ryan [/QUOTE]
