My wife recently got me a "moleskin" style notebook, pink, and took the time to label it "Pink Dice GM". It was a very thoughtful gift, especially since I had been wanting a nice notebook. What I didn't realize when I received this thoughtful gift is how big of an impact it might have on my gaming.
You see, lately I have been struggling to come up with new pieces of "flair" to keep the game interesting. It is fun to pull some interesting pieces from one of my numerous books of beasts and items. Sometimes, however, I like to add something unique -- my own pieces of flair. Through the years, these are the things that really make the game fun.
This notebook has become a place to keep my creative ideas as I come up with them. So far I have captured ideas for unique creatures, items, and even plots in this notebook. It is quickly becoming my treasure-trove of inspiration -- raw inspirations that come from me.
As all GMs wonder, will there be a time I want to put together my own gaming book? If so this notebook will be my key. It will hold all my original ideas, fleshed out neatly and recorded for all time. And, until that time comes, it will be where I go to get those unique little pieces my games need.
