Nate Whittington on Grinning Rat
Lots of different ways to handle it, for sure. I tend not to play games with a lot of achievements or plot bennies, so I don't run into many situations where the players absolutely MUST write notes. Like in the article, there's always going to be a game that does require a certain amount of notes (diplomatic games, intrigue games, games with plot bennies like you mentioned, etc) but I think notes in trad fantasy adventure games in the vein of DND is (usually) unnecessary.
