Questions about Game Sessions

BlMage · October 17th, 2017, 09:21 PM

I know that I can show reveal history by game session, but is there a way for me to go back and see the titles I've given the sessions as well as the notes I've entered in the notes field? I've got some notes from the last session I put there and I'm unable to find them.

This is a feature I simply don't use sorry. Will play around tonight though and learn more about it.

It's under Manage/Realm, Game Sessions.

Thank you so much! That is a feature that I think I'll get a lot of use out of.

When I was GMing, I was constantly adding notes to the Game Session box. It's so accessible to add more info about what's happened.

I just wish I could de-dock it and switch to it via alt+tab, but there's already a feature request for this.

Did you know that during a game session you can click on the "Game Session In Progress" button, update your notes, press "Save Changes", close the window and continue your session?

It took me a while to realise that the button wasn't only for ending the current game session.

@Farling:

I for one certainly didn't know that.

Will have to look into that later on.

I did know, but it's still not the smoothest workflow. Especially as it puts a glass pane over the rest of RW, so I can't access my data while taking notes. And I get interrupted during notetaking quite regularly by questions from the players.

This. It is really an awkward way to do things, for me at least.
