Tag Your Pages with Sticky Notes
In July of last year I mentioned that when you’re updating your role-playing character sheet you should note the rulebook pages (see this post) but you could also take this a step further but tagging those pages with a sticky note.
Most folks have access to the typically sized note (about 3 inches square) but you can also get ones that are smaller that make great little flags in your books to make finding things easier – not to mention they don’t fall out like a bookmark would.
When you pick up your pack of “flags” they’re usually in a multicolor pack – which makes organizing things a bit easier – not to mention you could write a short code on the tag to signify what it is. Depending on whether you’re a GM or a player would determine what you would actually tag and in what books, things you might consider:
- Character spells
- Class specific abilities and restrictions
- Treasure tables
- Random encounter tables
- Movement rules
As you can see the list can grow quickly – just be sure you don’t over do it. If it’s something you frequently refer to then mark it but if you only look at on a rare occasion don’t. The important thing to remember here is that you are working to make your life easier at the gaming table, not more cluttered and complicated.
May your dice roll well.
