I really think having a laptop with a microphone facing the table and then a program that transcribes everything it hears onto a Google doc would help me so much.

I prefer to focus on building an in depth world and then I just kinda let people loose in it and see what they do and work on the fly.

This is perfect. When I’m DMing, I HEAVILY improv because I know the moment I actually decide to prep, none of that material ends up getting used. Your players will never know the difference!

there's a joke within my groups that I can show them the maps of like the continents and things because my handwriting is so indecipherable that they have no idea what anything is

I have a lorekeeper to take notes and someone that records the sessions. my ADHD hates trying to take notes during DND, especially if I have a full table (7 players) that week.

I do more like an outline and my players are actually the ones that take notes on the session and I have them recap. Creates really good buy in!

Been a DM for almost a decade and I started off writing EVERYTHING down. But now I think I’ve found a happy medium between notes (recap) and improvisation. I genuinely think we need to embrace both to

I build a ton for myself, so that when I need to improvise I feel grounded in what I have created. 😅

me and my DM will often just spit out these complicated plots, storyline, federal crime plans. and everyone will be like "how long have you been working on this?" um, none, it's all ADHD baby

build notes based on the games your party wants to play. Make up the rest as you go along, recon any gaps. Everyone will have fun

I just ran my first session with only my maps and minis ready and the idea in my head and it went really well. It also helps when you're players keep you on your toes all the time.

Our dm rights stuff down in like three different notes placed around the places he goes to. But then sometimes forgets them during game day and wings it on memory 😂 gotta love him
