i i got it here it comes yeah excellent so back we have said as soon as we started and so old books absolutely

BX, so I grabbed an empty binder and I made some copies of the basic and expert cover art and shoved them on there.

And then I just had this giant three-ring binder kind of organized by type of content, world map, notes, treasure counters, rules, NPCs, and then locations.

And I got in this habit of, okay, well, if they're far away from this location, I can just pull that section out, stick it in a folder, put it in the final cabinet, sub in the new location.

So that last, you know, last, you know, maybe, you know, areas, section six to 10 would change pretty dramatically based on location.

Now, a lot of this is, you know, my style of running a game, what I did is when I first started this campaign, I took L1, Rest and Fert.
