  • I have a “world bible” that I created on onenote with all of my characters, locations, lore, etc. As part of that I have my stories plotted out in rough notes, then chapter by chapter in a table, (this often changes when actually writing but it’s a great foundation).

    Lots of people use Obsidian or Notion to do the same thing. I already had onenote on all my devices, so it was easy just to add notes to my notes section if an idea came to me on the move that I could return to later.

    I’ve tried to move to obsidian or notion a couple of times, but I think I have a certain efficiency now with my crude system, and it just seems to work for me.






  • I appreciate you taking the time to write all this up, though I am aware of all of it. I will vote SNP in a futile attempt to remove the Tories from my constituency, but Labour in Scotland are not the same as the rest of the Labour party. Their only identity here is “anti-SNP at all costs.” Hell, a bunch of their councillors were suspended for creating a coalition council with the the Tories as well.

    They will always be the same party in Scotland, until they change their tact and start supporting progressive policies as opposed to “SNP are the devil and nothing else matters.”

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m not disillusioned to the fact that the SNP have many faults within their party. But they gave me free education, free prescriptions, and mitigate a lot of damage the Tories in Westminster try to force on the public. (Bedroom tax, as an example).

    Labour are just tory lite. And 2019 may seem like a long time ago, but bare in mind this was still 3 years post-brexit referendum. There was still a lot of anger, and openly trying to convince your own constituents to support the Tories (the party they are supposed to be the main opposition to) in that time is still a massive breach of trust, in my opinion.

    Hopefully a Labour Westminster government will happen, and will make positive changes, but considering Scotland only returned 6 of 59 seats as Tories in 2019, its not up here that needs convincing.






  • It’s definitely between Green and SNP for me I think. I’ll wait and see what the manifestos put forward but likely SNP will be the only option for getting the tories out anyway, once again.

    I’m just tired and frustrated of doing this in every single election and having the rest of the UK shit the bed and vote Tory anyway. I’ve put a £100 bet on with a friend that the Tories will win again even though they’re polling real low. I just have no faith in the electorate to do anything but vote against their own interests.











  • Few options available here I’d say, though I’m not aware of Vampire the Masquerade! Do the other players know that this player wants to reroll?

    Definitely work closely with the player throughout the process and have them make the major decisions needed, though it’s an excellent opportunity to drop a shocking moment on the rest of the party if they are happy for the character to die in order to feed the tension and danger of the story. It could be a good opportunity to introduce a huge villain in the story, a taste of what they’ll eventually have to face down the line.

    Other options could include taking something from the characters backstory that prompts them to leave the group in search of their own answers- retiring the character but leaving the option open for the future. Your players new character could be introduced as a prisoner or hostage, or even as an individual on their own mission that aligns with the current group.

    There are so many different ways to approach, but the most important thing is ensuring the player is happy with the decisions. Having a little brainstorming session with them in private and putting a plan together you’re both happy with is absolutely key though!
