What I have been experimenting with for my very own notes, that’s thus far working pretty properly for me is:
– boxed textual content with a few of the similar data that goes within the minimal format, quick, clipped, essentials–especially the stuff wanted to explain the primary response to the room.
– common textual content that’s observe up with no matter was within the field, such because the creature stat traces, treasure, or if I would like a extra concerned description as soon as one thing is examined.
– naming the rooms one thing evocative (as most of the minimalist approaches do).
– combining a a number of rooms right into a logical grouping, after which naming that.
The named, logical grouping comes earlier than the person rooms, and in that part I write something I would like about widespread smells, drafts, typical hall dimensions, and many others. Then I additionally put any creatures that routinely transfer round that space.
I feel this strategy helps, as a result of as you’ll be able to see, as a lot as I really like concise writing, I wrestle to supply it. The logical grouping provides me an outlet to throw in some full sentences or different notes whereas being extra disciplined within the particular person room descriptions. YMMV.
