Keeping campaign notes in Freeform / Custom

Keep sessions, characters, and notes in one place so your table stays aligned. Use the links below to apply the workflow in Freeform / Custom and keep it consistent across sessions.

Workflow (do this first)

  1. Create the campaign in one tool, single source of truth for the table.
  2. After each session: one-paragraph recap plus any rules calls the GM made.
  3. NPC log: name, faction, motivation, one line each is enough to keep continuity.
  4. Tag scenes with the characters present so you can search by player or PC later.
Roll loop reminder (Freeform / Custom)

Resolution follows your table's chosen system: declare what your character attempts, make the roll your rules call for, and apply the outcome to the fiction and the sheet.

Example: Treat every roll as a decision: success advances, failure changes the situation.

Common mistakes

  • Mistake: Notes in a Discord chat nobody can find next week. Fix: Persistent campaign space, searchable, ordered by session, linked to characters.
  • Mistake: Per-player notes that don’t share. Fix: One shared timeline; private side-notes are fine, but the canonical recap is communal.
