Using three ...I highly recommend the rule of three. Using three of things helps give choice, but not making for overwhelming prep or overwhelming info to the players. Things like:<br />- three hooks<br />- three factions<br />- three hexes<br />- three main NPCs<br />- there are 3 things the PCs care about in a town: where to buy stuff, where to sell stuff, where to get info on getting more stuff.<br /><br />That's where I came up with 3 Hexes, and it's a rule that helped me to keep things going in my games and campaign world.Michael S/Chgowizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052820400496340137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994971001743872624.post-63851681606646880372020-02-12T06:21:01.316-05:002020-02-12T06:21:01.316-05:00Thanks, great post! I don't know about workflo...Thanks, great post! I don't know about workflowy, but I just started a sandbox campaign and use Zim, a simpe wiki software (someone suggested it on MeWe). It's wysiwyg and overall pretty intuitive, no technical skill required. At first, I thought I had to organize my stuff by using pages and sub-pages, which is fine but not great. <br /><br />Then I realized I could simply use tags (adding @tag). Since I can navigate through tags (and select multiple ones if I want), it organizes my stuff as I go. That's absolutely awesome. Of course, I need to be diligent using them, but it's much easier. I use tags for hex numbers, "monsters", NPC, players, PCs, domain stuff, campaing journal, etc. The great thing about it is that I can easily create new tags s they become useful without worrying about the whole wiki organization.<br /><br />The wiki is meant to be used mostly between sessions, but I used it while we played last time (when PCs went where I did not expect), and it was surprinsingly easy.
