Is that pic some kind of online thing or is it just a sheet of paper?

>>52887561
How does this work then? Do you use small icons to represent everything you've picked up? Do you use tokens or the like? Otherwise you're going to be using words all over the place, so I don't understand what quite you mean. Could you explain more how this works?

I use roll20. IF it's a lot of stuff (such as party equipment) I use google documents and share between everyone.

with that said as a GM for my d&d game I make a handout for all magical items currently in player possession (or will be). That way they have a visual picture of what it looks like (I try to find something as it adds more depth to the game) as well as what the item does.

its a sheet of paper, i printed out a bunch and also made little 2x2 centimeter rectangles which you can draw upon and put it in his slot.

>>52887663
yes, small icons. and if that item you just equipped has any bonus to your -anything- then you write it down below. this way you can keep your Charater sheet clean and still can add the bonuses from the equipment

but im looking for better ways.

You could always just write a letter/number/symbol in one of the boxes and expand on it in the inventory. For example:

1. Helmet of Macarena, +1 to Dancing.

If you're playing in person you might use things like Index cards to represent your inventory. Helps with immersion if you stick or draw pictures on it, includes additonal writing space to note down relevant rules and works especially well for consumable items.
If you've got the time and printer money grab the Magic Set editor (which does also support non-M:tG cards) or the graphic programm of your choice and make them look like proper cards that might come shipped with a game.

I mean that's fine if it's what you and your players want to use, but I fail to see how anyone who isn't mentally handicapped would have any issues with keeping track of items on a list
