That brings up the question... Do we need a thread for reviewing role playing games?

Lately my 'go to' pen is the Sharpie Pen,.. But I also like my Fisher Space Pen and the Foray Advance Ink Ballpoint .7mm Needle tip.
For pencils,.. wow.. lately its been whatever is closest, .. but the no. 2 Ticonderoga pencil seems to write a nice deep line. Granted it has to be sharpened..
Mechanicals - I have a load of .5mm lead from when I did office clean outs 20 years ago - but the .7mm is a better line
I have a few composition books I have had cut down so it will match my tablet as well as some Rite in the Rain books
Office work - legal pad,.. and it's nearly an inch thick as I need to review / mark off things that are done -

@coliver Can't go wrong there!

See, I had an issue with the .7 because it was big enough to go dull and start writing lighter. I tried the .3, .5, .7, and .9 and found the .5 to be a good center.
I've moved over to a binder for paper. I was going to go Bullet Journal style, but I go through about 150 sheets of paper a month. A notebook doesn't get me through a month, and Bullet Journal is lined up to last about six. lol.

A draftsman's trick I learned from an old draftsman. Slowly twist the pencil in your hand as you write. It prevents it from getting a "dull" side and keeps you from having to sharpen it as much. Not sure how well it works with mechanical pencils though.

It works very well, and I still need to do this with my .5, but with the .7 it was big enough that eventually you'd just end up with a rounded tip before you fully got through that section of lead
