====Keep Lists and Use Index Cards==== Keeping list of clues can be incredibly useful. You can tie them to places, people, or scenes. Or you can have a pool of clues that you can draw on and insert into scenes as you need. You don’t have to use all the clues you come up with; your list can be mainly as inspiration. Index cards are a powerful tool as well. When a clue comes up, write it on an index card and put it in the middle of the table so everyone can see it. That way, clues stay in the players’ minds as they play out the scene. If you have a number of clues that might show up any time, you can put them on index cards and draw one at random when you need to add a little extra spice to a scene.
