Any OneNote add-ins worth trying for campaign notes?

Asked by Juniper Vale

I’ve just noticed OneNote has add-ins. Are any especially useful for running a tabletop campaign or keeping player information organized? I’m hoping to stick with OneNote rather than switch apps.

I’d start with the task that’s actually slowing you down, rather than browsing add-ins at random. For example, is it awkward to prep sessions, find recurring details, or share player-facing information? Look for an add-in only if it clearly helps with one of those jobs.

Before relying on one, check that it works with your OneNote version and setup, and try it on a copy of your notes. If it asks for access to campaign material, check what it can see and whether that fits your group.

No particular add-in stands out from the information here, so I wouldn’t want to name one as a sure bet. For GM notes, a simple structure you can search and reuse may be more helpful than adding another tool. If you have a specific repetitive task in mind, that would make it easier to judge what’s worth trying.
