Typically I use pen and paper, but I’ve been interested in a tablet or similar device for a while and am interested in what other people are using.

The reMarkable 2 seems like a really cool option to play with, but also pretty pricey for trying it out to see if it would even work well.

While it’s not directly related, when playing in games, I usually use a paper character sheet for reference, a notepad for consumables, story notes, and HP, and Pathbuilder on my phone for spells.

    Thanks for the recommendation of Obsidian and Goodnotes.

    I’ve been using One Note, but it’s iPadOS app isn’t great, so having options is great.

    So for the “character sheet PDF that I write on” is that something that only Goodnotes can do? I’ll admit I don’t understand what that means, but I’ll also admit that I don’t own an Apple Pencil for my iPad Pro, and have never even heard of Goodnotes until now…

    For anyone reading this on iOS/iPadOS I highly recommend “PDF Viewer” since it can open multiple PDFs at once, and unlike “PDF Expert” it can easily take you back to your open PDFs without having to open a PDF to get there.

      There are several apps that let you upload a pdf and write on it in iOS, but GoodNotes is very popular and works beautifully! I also have a screen protector that makes the screen feel a bit more like paper.

        Thanks for the info.! I had no idea you could write on top of a PDF displayed on screen.
