I like to record D&D sessions that I run. For me, it’s way better than taking notes, giving me less to think about during the session. Of course, this means that I have to listen back to a 3+ hour recording afterwards, but it’s good for a number of reasons – self-improvement, inspiration, and remembering small things you’d otherwise have forgotten, to name but a few.
But there’s more that you can do once you have these recordings. One thing I like to do is to make recap videos, and play them at the start of each session:
I think it’s a really nice way to get everyone back up to speed and into the right mindset. It also means that you can jump right into gameplay very quickly after the start of a session.
If you have any other ideas for getting the most out of your recordings, let me know!
