Dungeons and Dragons

Wow. I didn't know it was this easy to get an article made about you. A card and nine paperclips!

I definitely gonna have to post my spell book when I get home...

Spellbook Pictures

First iteration I simply took some small post-it's wrote the spell slot level on it and attached them to whatever spell I used them on. This worked fine for a bunch of sessions. If the glue would lose its tack I could simply write another sticky.

Second iteration I made myself a fancy A5 sized spell book in NanDeck, slots were still tracked by post its but I fashioned little bookmark tabs that were affixed to the pages so I could pull them out to indicate the spell was prepared and push it in to for those that were not. This again worked pretty well. The tabs would get partially pushed in when the book rattled around in the storage box but it was generally not all the way. Biggest gripe was that I didn't actually need to know which spell had which slots used on it. The post it's were overkill in that regard.

Current iteration now has a front page with paper sliders for the number of spell slots I have. It's prepared all the way to max level. All I've got to do is use scissors or an exacto knife to extend the sliders to their proper length. The preparedness of spells is also indicated by paper sliders on the respective page. I originally used bookmarks so I didn't have to browse the whole book but I found myself doing that anyway so they didn't serve much of a purpose. On the contrary I find it quite thematic that my cleric would rummage through his spell book to find the correct incantation for the situation.

Both second and first version had their spine punched in regular spaces with an office hole puncher and then bound with string in my player color. When I get more spells I simply have to print the additional pages and can rebind the book.
