As per having a face for important NPCs, I’ve recently started using a google slide show shared with my party. After they meet someone and learn their name, I post the NPCs' portrait and name on a slide, which everyone in the group can add notes to. Always there, easy to use!
Thanks for the advice and clarification on "Secrets and Clues." I've struggled to add those into the game but this makes it more clear. Kudos to you, sir!
Names on printed out faces - little cut-outs that I have in front of me. Best npc improve tool ever, my players think every person in the world is prepared and fleshed out😎
Great advice, as ever, Mike! I've been DMing for about 40 years, and I've learned that improvisation is the DM's most important skill. Your suggestions and focus on this are most helpful!
i realy love your work mr. flourish! thanks a lot for all you do! and also i wanna thank you for your always positive attitude. it makes listening to you such an enjoyment! love, TheIM[YsawQ]BA
My random character names are from common names for plants (weeds found in lawns at the moment) and the moons of the solar system for more classical names.
I keep my session notes digitally, and the I've integrated random tables into the program I use to edit my notes. It can really streamline the use of these tables, but this technique probably isn't available to most DMs.
