My group is starting up Dresden Files RPG next week, with City Creation (New York), and there is one thing that I have been thinking of how to handle Aspects from, for instance, Maneuvers in play.
What I mean by that is how people are handling temporary Aspects, most likely from Maneuvers, in play. It is fully possible that, during a conflict, a character gets access to a large number of Aspects where some of them might be Sticky. Do you simply try to remember them? Do you write them down on post-its? Do you have any ways to keep track of Sticky Aspects that a character have used its free Tag?
As creating Aspects is a new mechanic to our game group, it would be nice to see how it has been handled by other groups.
-
Note cards are cheap and somewhat durable so easily passed back and forth.
-
Index cards. And when they get tagged, a check mark goes beside them so everyone knows which Aspect is left that's not a freebie. Every player also gets a sheet with all the other PCs Aspects on them so they can compel as needed.
-
I bring some dry erase whiteboards with colored markers. Useful for writing down Aspects for scenes, as well as from Maneuvers (and Consequences) and I've also used it to draw maps of zones.

Similar to the others - index card, post it notes, and a spreadsheet (for longer term aspects).

Thanks! I intend to use Index cards (or slightly bigger Post-its).

I have used and/or seen used: Post-Its, Index Cards and Dry-Erase Boards.
