    Poll: What are you using Campaign Logger for?

    I've started to use CL for various home projects: Christmas/Birthday lists, misc organization projects, longer term family activity planning. I'm still kinda spotty on how I use it for home and Gaming, but I'm settling between three apps. Each does something different. 1- Todoist: my dumping...

    Welcome! Do you usually run campaigns (any length) or one-off games?

    I hate spell slots.

    Escher is a sweet idea! Great theme for a wizard lair, plays along nicely with the underlying "impossible geometry" theme in the campaign. Thanks for the killer ideas mate!

    I hate spell slots.

    Glad you clarified the assured outcome of the spell. I had read that wrong. I like the way you are tweaking the "pain/pleasure/cost" of magic, I'd play a magic user with these changes. And yes, I'm heavily influenced by old school Warhammer. This little Casting Circle morsel I love. I'm...

    I always respect those creating their own systems. Alas I've given up that ideal, but I love digging into various systems for bits and pieces I can steal and incorporate into games I'm playing. It's great you have a group that doesn't mind mind system changes, it makes trying out new mechanics...

    I hate spell slots.

    Hey @PigMonkey , I love the flavor theme of "Magic should hurt a little (or a lot)". My main system is DCC, it's build so magic can produce nasty and permanent effects, if you are too greedy or power hungry. Down side is the power of magic can be really swingy. But no spell slots, so spell...

    7-Day GM Organization Challenge

    Hi @JohnnFour in CL, Campaigns and Logs are described as the main building blocks, but as I'm creating content, I'm going straight to Pages and bypassing the logs initially. If there a downside to this tactic?

    7-Day GM Organization Challenge

    Thanks mate! I look forward to the video. As for the GM Org challenge tools, I'm going to actively pair Todoist (as the task/semi-project manager) and CL as the project support material manager, for a few weeks, and see what, if any, features and flows are missing.

    7-Day GM Organization Challenge

    Hey @JohnnFour , Thanks for the video, it game me a good overview how you organize with CL , with several deeper insights. Proof is in the pudding, so I'm making a daily commitment to add content daily in CL, and see what patterns emerge. At about 12:44 on the video you had a page linking to...

    7-Day GM Organization Challenge

    That's awesome Johnn. I hadn't thought of using CL for day to day needs. This may seem a bit off topic, but understanding the framework will help me with the GM organization challenge. So do you create different campaigns for gifts, writing, journaling etc.? Or do you group several of these...

    7-Day GM Organization Challenge

    Hi @JohnnFour , from the above example, do you actually use CL from writing your newsletter, or was that an example? Either way, it give my ideas on add'l ways to use CL.

    7-Day GM Organization Challenge

    Thanks @JohnnFour, the video was a great help understanding the "To Do" tag approach, it got me thinking. Let me put this into practice and test some variations.

    7-Day GM Organization Challenge

    Hi @JohnnFour , I'm using CL to gather my various campaign ides in Log entries. I just dump unformatted or tagged sentences. Can you put labels on Logs (like we can on Pages). I'd like to label the logs in multiple ways, but the most basic would be: "Process" or "Complete". With the idea being...

    7-Day GM Organization Challenge

    Hi Johnn! You timing is great for this challenge (although I'm a little late to the party), I'm reorganizing my game room and (trying to) organize my various campaigns. I look forward to the next week to give me a kickstart!
