This month The Journal’s newsletter gets a bit esoteric and hobbyist with a new article about how I use The Journal for use in Role-Playing Games (RPGs). I have been playing RPGs since 1989, when I was in college. While The Journal wasn’t originally intended as “RPG Support Software”, it does have a number of features that can be helpful when preparing adventures and organizing your campaign. We also have more writing and journaling exercises, as well as a new tip for using The Journal.

This month we have an article from Stefanie A. Newton, entitled “Thanks for the Memories.” Ms. Newton discusses ways to encourage our parents and grandparents to write down their stories and memories.
