I would love to see examples of how you prepare notes to be useful for you while running the game. How can notes support proactive gameplay? As an example, here are notes I have thinking Twilight (a cleric) might go back to the clinic where she used to work, some reminders of goals, npcs, ...

Hi I'm Michael. I've been DMing on and off published adventures for the past few years until recently. My wife and I created a campagin for some friends thats homebrewed. This my first time doing a homebrew campagin. I had bought a bunch of gamemaster pdfs off of humblebundle and really like the proactive rpg book. I've basically used that as my blueprint to start and really enjoyed the concept of proactive rpg. We just finshed a story beat of the party closing a portal to another realm in a big trade capitial. The lead up was a cult was trying to grow in influcence for their master to help him achive his goals. He was going to use the portal to take infect the natural realm but now has since retreated after being foiled. I'm trying to figure out now how to transtion to a different faction taking the spotlight.

Something that has always been a part struggle as I get older is finding a group. Not just a one shot. But a real campaign group. With my schedule and living on the West Coast. And to be honest I am use to a gaming on every other Saturday. I know that might be old school. But beside when I was in grade school for a sleepover. I never played during a week. For my mind set weekdays is for school and sleep and some TV hehe. When Civid happen Before then I never thought of playing during the weekdays. And boy did I do a lot of gaming during that time. But now we are back to a similar normal life. So my weekdays is too busy or too tired to even think of gaming. So besides solo gaming I have tried. But the thrill of a group it is ok. So I have thought about play by post. But my experience with playing what will is beyond zero. I got some serious questions. How does combat and a social reaction work. I have a hard time seeing how that could work well. I feel like I want it to work but I have a hard time seeing how it works. Help me I want this to work.
