Our group has been using TW for everything for almost a year now. I have several characters for different campaigns in TW's. With different tiddlers for my Attributes, Skills, and Feats. In addition I can write in specific rules regarding different abilities my character has, so that I don't have to go through the rulebooks to find them during a session. I also use tiddlers in the character sheet to put my session notes, and separate tiddlers for NPC's that we encounter. This way the whole file winds up as complete notes about the campaign. As a GM I made a template TW for writing all my session notes. The TW has template tiddlers for different types of encounters (combat vs. non-combat), as well as a template for NPC stats. I love running my adventures from TW, since I can close and open relevant tiddlers as I need them. I am never shuffling papers to find the stat block on an NPC, or some other piece of information. If you like running your games off a computer, I highly recommend using TW as a way to organize your notes, characters, etc. Congrats Avlor for your entry and taking 2nd Prize.
