I’m still in the process of character generation for my live Twitch-based game, but I’m actually having a lot of fun using technology for background monitoring as well.
So far I have two videos up so far of play here: http://bit.ly/SteelSeraphYoutube

One of the elements one of my players suggested for organization was bringing all of our non-stat information into Trello, so I’ve built out three boards that are working surprisingly well.
The first, open to the players, is a general world board, where I give ideas of what the world in general looks like, based on their descriptions of the corporations, and the world as a whole (picture 1).
The second is my general notes board, keeping a lane for each player and questions regarding their background that I explored in character creation (picture 2).
Lastly is my Plot Radar (repurposed wholly from @dungeonbastard :)), which explores what elements I want to bring to the forefront now or in future missions. I’m looking forward to meshing all of this together!
Stop by sometime if you want to watch, and see my flub my way around running the game 🙂
Not to mention the awesome layout by my friend, ViddWizard 😀

What are the tools that you’re using? Trello is one?

Jason McDonald Trello is my main organizer of information. I’m using Roll20 to facilitate the mechanics, OBS to stream and Discord for day-to-day communications. Also I have a PixelC with an app to do the rolls from the Augmented Reality book.
Craig Brown Didn’t realise how useful it would be until I started actually plotting things out, it’s AMAZING 😀
Quick at a glance information at my fingertips 😀

This is pretty Good. I used trello for my Shadowrun in Berlin Campaign. It was pretty Good, but I realize that I’m using more of my notes when I have ’em in front of me on paper.
King in yellow Admittedly, if I were playing an in-person game, it would definitely lean more towards paper notes. As I’m playing online, and have three monitors to work with, it all plays out rather nicely for me 😀
