Some useful feedback from OSR Pit later, and I want to remember what I want to put in an AAR. I might not write that much for each bullet-point, but I think it’s worth covering it all.
The last point about the lesson is my reason for writing these, but if I don’t include the context, then I can’t be sure it’s the right lesson.
- What did I play?
- How long for?
- What tools did I use?
- What was the plot?
- What happened in each room/encounter?
- What were the characters?
- What were the tactics?
- What did I learn?
- What went well?
- What went badly?
- What would I do differently?
I was going to expand this out a bit, but I think it’s pretty self-explanatory. I don’t read long AARs, so I want to keep them short so that:
- I actually write them
- I feel they’re more readable
If you’re reading this and have a different opinion though, please hit me up.
