This is the place for dungeons and dragons to show up a lot along with D&D journaling commentary. An ASMR calming video about nerd culture tabletop journaling that can be enjoyed with pretty dice and an original character helps the Algorithm. Did you know that saying dungeons & dragons in the video as well as girl tabletop aesthetic pretty journaling character sheet and others helps the KZfaq algorithm discern your worthiness? Yes, it does listen to every word such as gamer girl, nerdy, geek culture, dnd dice and factors the repetition of these words into it's almighty equation. Hopefully this offering of dungeons and dragons roleplay game character journal pleases the Algorithm.
You're still here? Gosh, well, did you know the almighty Algorithm doesn't actually care which way your thumb points for likes? 👍 👎 It doesn't matter. Interaction is interaction as far as KZfaq is concerned. Hitting the thumb is the only thing that it cares about. Did you know that?
I care though. I'd prefer the thumb up on my video since I have an feelings and I'm not an evil heartless rob-
Praise the Algorithm. May it show me mercy.

Once upon a time in the AD&D days I came up with this maddening idea of writing my own spellbook. A spellbook for my Wizard. All the spells I knew, components, ranges, durations descriptions etc. 1, So I knew where my spells were to reference. 2, As a exercise to remember spells better when I GMed

I love that! I decided to keep things simple for myself and just use a phone app for quick lookups for extra spell information. I used to use cards, but there's nothing faster then typing with an auto fill search engine at your finger tips. But I love the idea of an immersive spellbook, I also love the idea of having a bit of fun casting spells by describing the look and feel of them being cast into the battle field, especially if it's your characters first time using it.

I certainly hope so! I think sometimes it can be hard to take the plunge into creative or organizational endeavors like this and it's not for everyone. Since I'm an artist, one of my plans is to sketch all the player characters faces and then have those players sign underneath the drawing in their characters name, high school yearbook style. It's all about creating good memories!

Honestly, even if some journeys end sooner than we'd like, it's nice to have mementos of those times shared I think. I'm hoping that's what this journal will be for me. Plus it can perhaps help build new character's backstories lol

@lukeholbrook204 Жыл бұрын
Really enjoyed this and your ideas for what to include and how to arrange it. Like you, I like using pencil, particularly for anything that I update only occasionally. I do use clear plastic sheet protectors, and I use wet erase markers to write things that are updated frequently, like hit points or checking off spell slots. Wet erase doesn’t rub off as easily as dry erase, so it will stay legible even if other things rub against it. I just dampen a little bit of a paper towel at the beginning of the session so I can erase the marker as needed.
@aLuckyMuse Жыл бұрын
I've been thinking about incorporating a cut piece of plastic to do some dry or wet erase for things like HP where the paper really wears down fast. But I've also been thinking about testing out a digital tablet character journal too, now that I have an ipad with an apple pencil, just to see what can be learned.

He had an extra set of clear whites and saw I really liked these in particular, so he made my day. 😄 I forget where they were from, but I think it was a complimentary set from some of the DM gear he had picked up, maybe Paizo.

Interesting that you mentioned your deity as "The Everlight" which given you're playing 5e tells me your probably playing in Matt Mercer's custom setting As Sarenrae is present in no other campaign setting for 5e. It is also unlikely that this is a fully home brew world as only former Pathfinder players are likely to include Sarenrae in their campaign, and almost nobody who plays Pathfinder refers to her as "The Everlight". Just something I noticed that my OCD demanded I mention.
@aLuckyMuse Жыл бұрын
We are playing in a Critical Role world setting yes. Most of my table got involved in watching Vox Machina in the early days and they are big fans. I'm not sure I've had any play time in a purely vanilla D&D world setting, its always been at least a slightly homebrew world.

@aLuckyMuse ah cool! Not making any judgements I just found it very interesting when I heard it.

Online groups are a good way to start. There are people that post on Reddit subs looking for groups that can meet on discord etc. If you want to meet in person, if you have a local gameshop you should try talking to the owner and seeing if there are any organized shop games or local groups you could try to join. Lastly, you could always make a flyer and pin it to any community bulletin boards that your local library or grocery store may have.
