I wish I could have this. Two of my players take notes, but only one takes them in enough detail to piece things together. I recently gave a the not-so-great note taker a dream (full text was provided in a message) with a bunch of bread crumbs for their character to follow. It was to encourage them to talk with the other player characters and try to solve this mystery together by utilizing connections that the other players have. In this dream, I gave them:

• A very uncommon first name of an important NPC they can seek out. The NPC is the Empress of one of the opposing countries.
• A description of an area, including geographic markers that they could use to pinpoint its location. This place is very unique. If they ask someone in game that studies any sort of geography, they will likely be told where to go
• A description of another set of the mcguffins that the team had just gathered. This is literally their main quest right now

The response I got back from the player was “Yeah… i don’t know what i need to pull from this”. This is from the player that keeps contacting me after the game saying that they want to interact more with the world and do more RP. When pressed with “well you could ask one of the other characters for help” I got a “nah, I want to do this on my own”.

Please send help…

If you use obsidian, like I do, you can use ttrpg-convert to pull down the 5etools data and convert it to markdown for storage in your vault.
