Role-playing Tips Weekly issue #359 is available online – GM Organization – 5 Tips
The bane of most GMs (including myself) is a lack of organization. Being able to find and use that piece of information, whether during a planning session or an actual game session is of major importance and Johnn tackles this topic with five more organization tips for us.
In particular I would recommend you take a look at tip #3 – A place for everything, and everything in its place – some really good suggestions in there about getting your materials organized based on David Allen’s book, Getting Things Done. I would recommend that book to anyone as I have found it useful in getting myself on the road to being organized (I’m not there yet – soon I hope!)
There’s also an interesting Reader Tip about superstitions in gaming – well worth the read.
Enjoy!
