A friend of mine this week was lamenting about another player that just couldn’t seem to let go of past characters. He wished she’d be able to let the past go and go on playing a new character.

Let’s face it as GM, or a player, you only have so many characters in our arsenal and not all of them need to be a beautiful and unique snowflake. And that’s OK.

You have this huge idea for a campaign. You’ve spent countless hours jotting down notes and fleshing out NPCs and now you’ve begun play. Your players love it and stories and characters flow forth mightily. You are filling countless notebooks with ideas and stories!

Now how do you keep track of this mess of paper? What if you want to share some notes with another gamemaster to get their feedback? How could your players contribute to the notes that you’ve created? Better yet, how could they contribute to the world you’ve been building?
