The speed of it feels crazy, you can use it offline, and you have so many options for how you can lay out a page.В It's especially great for consolidating everything together, and for letting you find exactly what you want. So my groups are used to me running games in person (if I'm home) or over skype, discord if I'm away. I travel alot for workВ and have never let that stop me from running my games. The only other main tool I use is Obsidian Portal for all my player based information (Maps, Session Notes for Players, Basic NPC Information and Wiki pages of important campaign information) basically anything I think the players need access to. I use 3D Virtual Tabletop to showВ my combats. D&D Beyond should make up the difference that D&D Insider used to provide. I used to use D&D Insider (as it took some pressure off Onenote) when my groupsВ were 4e but have been in a bit of limbo since I made the plunge into 5e. I will add I use Dropbox and sometimesВ OneDrive to store reference data that I use across campaigns but use a different Onenote folder for each campaign I run. Onenote has been my mainstay DM database for a few years now, but I also bought a subscription to D&D Beyond hoping it will alleviate some of that.

(I'm pretty sure you can do a lot of the same stuff with the free version, but I know there are some limitations.) It's probably true that Realm Works does all of this and more, but for now this meets my needs and isn't something I need to pay for, since I have the paid version through my school account. You want it to have a cool background that looks like the PHB? No problem! You want to put in pictures? Format your notes in a way that's reminiscent of published materials? Easy peasy. The other thing I really like about OneNote is that it's pretty easy to make it look aesthetically pleasing as well. Templates are super easy to set up, and so I have made a bunch for all of the various pages I'll be making over and over and over. This is probably the main thing that I love most about OneNote. You'll notice I mentioned templates a couple of times. I haven't really developed this yet, but I think it'll primarily be a place to convert prefab adventures so they are readily accessible and easy to follow.

Lore - worldbuilding, history, deities, calendar, major factions, etc.ДЄnd then I have a section group for specific adventures.

I might reconfigure this a little bit to resemble Dungeon World's 'fronts' system. The template asks for a brief description, key members, goals, motto, beliefs, strength, enemies, typical quests if applicable.

Locations - There's a world map here, and then a template for each major location containing sensory information, demographics, history, and important NPCs, events, and 'sub-locations'.

Encounters - I'm still working on this section, but I plan to add in some random encounters organized by environment, as well as put in some maps, dungeon starters, etc.

Items - contains a template for quest items, a list ofВ magic items from all of WoTC's free content for 5e, and a list that breaks down magic items by rarity.

This section also contains a list of names, random NPC tables, and 'inspiration' (links to content, pinterest, etc.) I haven't worked out my template for Minor NPCs yet but it'll likely be an incredibly simplified version of the major NPC template.

NPCs - major NPCs have a template very similar to PCs, except they also include full stat blocks and a section for information they're aware of and potential plot hooks.

Everything is able to be hidden as well, so I can collapse, say, 'character history' so it's out of the way and then expand it whenever I may need it. I have a template set up so all the information that is most useful to me is most immediately accessible such as sort of quick glance stat block containing Initiative bonus, AC, HP, current conditions, and passive perception, and then the rest of the pertinent information (physical description, history, traits) below that.

General - contains a link to the SRD (soon to change to a link to DnDB probably), some quick links to content generators/random tables, and session notes.

I have mine organized into a number of sections, which then each contain a number of pages:
