[QUOTE="ccs, post: 8106953, member: 6803664"] I have a number of binders on the bottom of one of my book shelves. Characters (mostly D&D/PF), npcs, maps, misc*, Ravenloft, "Adventures" (things I've written), & Campaign notes. ●Characters - once I'm done playing a character I'll type up a final, legible, character sheet, a history, & a lv by lv breakdown page of what feats/stat adjustments, etc were made. That way if I ever have need or opportunity to reuse them (and I have).... ●NPCs - this file is much thinner. Most NPCs i save take the form of a page or two long write up, often says stats. ●Maps - a very thick binder.:) I've no problem reusing maps. This thing is full of both stuff I've drawn & stuff I've copied (that way I dont need to pull out/or even buy modules) ●Ravenloft - this binder contains notes from every time I've run I6, I10, House of Strahd, Expedition to, or CoS. ●"Adventures" - sometimes I write someting I'm damned proud of. Or just really like. Or something that will be used/referenced in years & games to come. A copy gets filed here. And updated as needed. Theres only about a dozen entries. ●Campaign notes. Once a campaign im running wraps ill write up a summary & file it. Sometimes it'll serve as future inspiration. Sometimes just a hardcopy glimpse into my gaming past. ●Misc. - a catchall binder for, well, misc stuff. I've actually got a binder of misc for most games I play. Some thicker than others. Mostly they're slotted into the shelves along with the various systems/games they apply to. ●Vampire Campaign- this is the only one that falls into the category of "Will never be used again, but I can't part with it". In the late 90s (mid 97- 98) the group i was running Vampire/World of Darkness with put A LOT of work into building a campaign, setting, story, npcs, etc etc etc. The game is long done. The story it told was played in real time leading up to the change of the Millennium & cannot be retrofitted for present day use. PLAY began New Years Eve 1998 & ended when the clock struck 12:00 am 2k. The real time play, leading to that one real life moment was the schtickt. That particular moment is 20 years past. Most of the people involved are long gone (some even deceased). Those of us left haven't touched a WoD book game-wise in nearly 20 years. But I can't bring myself to get rid of that binder full of material from that final WoD game. [/QUOTE]
