Episode notes

I have at least one note for every session and then more on quests or quest givers or NPCs, characters in the game that aren't the players or places. When I'm a DM, I have very few notes, but that's because I record the videos. And so I know that I only need to take notes on things that are going to happen in that session and everything else I can really go back to later after the game. As a player, I take notes on anything that's interesting. Well, actually only the things that my character knows. So that's another thing. My notes aren't complete in that sense because things happen to other characters that my character didn't know

Nicole van der Hoeven is a YouTuber, developer advocate for k6, and Dungeons and Dragons lover. For the last five months, she has organized her life inside of task and knowledge management app Obsidian. We discuss how she uses Obsidian for her YouTube creation, Dungeons and Dragons playing, friendships, and consulting. We talk about how many second-brainers overcomplicate their systems. All it is is taking notes.
