Rotational Play - Documenting Your Game

I came back after this topic inspired me to make a blog post again! 😀

So... I said I used wordpress tags to track my characters, but it's not tags - it's actually categories. I also checked and editing them is now working fine, so I can really recommend this system if it's something that picks your interest.

Here are how the categories are edited in the "main editor" with some bits that I've written for my sims. There is a parent category (family) and sub categories (sims belonging to that family).

Here is how the categories look when being added to the posts. So basically I search for the correct family and then add sims that are present in the story and family name if I think that the post is crucial for a certain family. To make things easier, I don't move sims from one family to another when they marry.

Also here is how the categories show up in my blog. It would be ideal if I could have separate tag clouds for parent and sub categories, but AFAIK that's not possible. That's why all the families have "the", so at least they get grouped together.
