darchildreY'know how people talk about the fact that "collecting craft supplies" and "actually doing the craft" are two different if related hobbies?
I feel the same way about playing solo rpgs and figuring out how I want to set up my notebooks for each different game. Picking a notebook out of my stash, deciding how I want this particular notebook to be organized for this particular game, figuring out which bits of the rulebook I want to print out (or copy by hand) for quick reference, carefully drawing charts or tables - incredibly enjoyable and really only tangentially related to actually playing the game. I probably won't actually get to play my new game until Wednesday, but my notebook looks very inviting.
I also finally did something I've been meaning to do for a while and bought a few different pencil boards in the most common notebook sizes I use. Once they arrive, my games will become playable basically anywhere, regardless of whether or not I have an available writing surface. Perhaps most importantly, they'll then be playable in bed (with the dice roller on my phone), which I'm inordinately excited about.

Date: 2023-02-14 05:30 pm (UTC)Notebooks are one of my greatest weaknesses - I have a lot of empty notebooks lying around, waiting to be written in. Putting a new game in a new notebook means more of them get used (which means I feel better about buying more).
