When you take notes for your game, do you prefer to do it on a computer or online, or do you prefer to do it in a physical format?
I don't see much difference between the two effect wise, but I've seen people express very strong feelings regarding how they take their notes.
I personally do almost all my game prep online. I make my prep notes in google docs. I make custom monsters in dndbeyond for D&D - and on gdocs for other systems. I do this because it lets me do it anywhere without a problem. I can poke in on a break at work. I can log in from a friend's house. I don't have to carry a whole bunch of notebooks with me, nor do I have to break out a notebook to do that work.
I have a Surface laptop that I use to review those notes at the game table to save paper and spare the trees. It also lets me have multiple tabs open so I can have more notes up and easily accessible all at one time.
However, I take my notes during game on a physical notebook. In particular I use a rocketbook. This lets me take notes during the game on a notebook, then scan and upload the notes online to use when making my prep notes for the next session.
It works well for me, but I know lots of other people do things differently. So how do you take your notes? And what do you like about it?
