Men Sometimes I think a girl is better off

I am about to start writing for Shadow Wars and am wondering how all the rest of you keep track of character traits and how and in what way your character has grown personally? Do you write it down somewhere or do you just remember or what?

Could you pm that to me?

If this were a fanfic I would say I wing it. But I tend to keep track of whats going on better in an RP

I have everything down on both my characters. Otherwise I don't remember it all. I also keep records on things like tasks and the like. But I'm a little short on the game overall right now what with most of my files on my old laptop.

The spreadsheet is a good idea. I shud try that as well.

Awwww Fine fine.

I think I had something like that going. Oh well I guess.

I think I'd set up a simple Database. Excel is reasonable, but a proper Database program gives far more flexibility in search capabiities.

Do you have anything like that on your computer, Swan?

I only have Excel

Same here.

I'll see if I can find a better database program when I get home

Do you have Works hiding anywhere on there - sometimes it comes bundled with the OS, and it has a simple DB program in it. Have a look in "All Programs" from the START button.

I do not. That's why I had to find a translator program to change the format from weps to the proper one.

Pity - I once did a massive Timekeeping and Payroll system on Lotus Aopproach (all macro driven 'cause I didn't undersand Lotus Script) then integrated it into a successful replacement for a bespoke DOS Invoicing system. One input working. Served the company I was with for nearly eight years. Approach is easy for an absolute beginner -- Access a great deal less so IMHO.

I think I have "firebird" on my laptop.

Not one I've come across, Chewie, is it simple to set up?

Yea its open source, mainly linux based, but runs on windows too.

Don't fret Addie i don't save anything either

I rarely save more, and then just by adding to my character profile what has happened. Except for the game where I am a co-GM, that one I take a lot more notes on.

Neither do I. I keep track of it all in my head.

EDIT: Everyone is a ninja!
