Word Processor or Legal Pad?

[Bloodstone Press]

I used to be strictly pen and paper, but sometime in the past 6-8 years I migrated to the computer. Now I never use pen and paper unless I have to.

 

[Pip-Boy 2000]

I use the computer almost exclusively. I have the Campaign Cartographer suite, so I can work on maps, cities, and vehicle plans any old place I want on my laptop. And i just use MS Word for any and all writing that needs to be done.

I'm using pen and paper right now, which works fine for me since I don't have a laptop or my own computer so getting the necessary hours in is a hassle. I can use either, but right now as I mentioned is pen and paper.

If you do this often enough, I have found that you will dream about waking and writing down your dream.

Don't you dream about posting Crothian?

Either one, though I prefer to use my computer. It's faster. Of course, paper and pencil I can take with me when I go out of the house, so if I'm gonna be on the bus, sitting somewhere waiting in line or whatever, I can do work on my game.

 

[I'm A Banana]

I don't write adventures.

THEY ARE SCRIBED UPON MY BRAIN BY EXPEECLIUS, GOD OF TABLE TOP ROLEPLAYING!

Fully formed, they spring into being! And then I have to go lay down.

I do all of my initial design work - maps, notes, thoughts, ideas, NPC stats, etc. - using pencil and paper. However, when I'm ready to actually write it up into an article or adventure, I start typing on the computer from scratch. I never actually write the article/adventure out on paper - that takes too long, and I've found it's much easier to make corrections/addditions working on a computer.

There are worlds of torture behind any writing medium,and i think that using a comp,is
being a bit timid,.....you know trying to type one's 'realms of fantasy' makes the turmoil of
what lays between the shadow of the mind and composition a more monotonous loop rather than cringing torture itself.However whence the paper is before an individual you can take for granted that the pains of 'adventure world' are layde before you,both as the progresser commited of cardinal knowledge and as the slab of jar creame that awaits the expectations of a mind that is at an imaginative work.

I use a pad for jotting down ideas, although I usually have an text file for doing the same sitting on my PC desktop. For actually writing adventures -- or anything else for my games, for that matter -- I use the computer.

If I'm on a roll, I think faster than I can write -- but not usually faster than I can type. Plus, my handwriting is pretty bad, and I like being able to jump back to earlier sections and add/subtract/change what I've already written.

Eight or nine years ago, I did most of it by hand -- now I can't even imagine doing it that way!

I usually start by jotting down the basic ideas in a notebook. At a later date, I enter them into a computer, expanding on just about everything once I do so.
