If I were doing that in orgmode, I think templates would get useful fast to standardize notes formats. That's possible with standard tags and associated fields. Beginnings of records would have tags identifying the record type ((room)1) could be the tag for room 1 and ((player)george) could be a tag identifying a player A date stamp within a player's record and ((room)1) could show where the player is on a particular date. All of that's possible in orgmode. A specific help list for orgmode exists and writing to that list could get a large amount of help if you're willing to use orgmode.
