This popped up on my recommended, just want to say that this is one of the coolest things I've seen and something I'd love to do for a character one day
Thank you so much!!! It's nice to hear and I hope you get a chance to do something similar for a TTRPG character in the future!!!
Yass 😭. I'm defo doing this lol 😅
I am a DM who consumes RPG stuff on YT all the time, but I also just started watching a bunch of Bullet Journaling videos for the New Year. I feel like this video is the piece smack in the middle of that Venn Diagram, and I am here for it!!
I LOVE it when a thing is placed in the middle of a Venn Diagram. Activates so many happy neurons in my brain haha. So glad to hear that this thing of mine did that for you hehe
As a DM I long to play with people who are this into their characters and the game. My irl group is great, I love my friends, but they aren't into the game the same way I am and it's driving me a little bit crazy!
I get that! The desire to want your friends to also be hyped for or excited about something the way you are is something I'm sure we've all felt.
I'm new to dnd but if you ever need people for a campaign I would love to play!!
I hope you can find your people!!! I’m absolutely someone that would dress up as my character every session if I had the supplies to 😂😂😂 but I’m waiting to play with a specific group for my first campaign
To anyone wondering where the map is from, google "Banished Lands Map" It's from the Faithful and the Fallen book series.
Thank you! I also didn't know that it came in a scrap paper/ collage package I purchased online! So this is great to know haha
I was wondering who else noticed! I was so excited to see it and recognize where it came from. I love that book series.
I love foxes! Fun fact; Foxes laugh when their happy or meet their favorite person.
I love that fact!
The fact you can write on lineless paper so straight... you've been doing this a while jladkfj
I wish I could take this credit, but the paper is actually dotted fdjkghfgjkh it's really faint but still there - so there is a visual to help me write straight haha
8 years of bullet journaling and only you bring me to the realisation to use a key for my notes 🤦♀️ thanks a lot for this video. Lovely journal and I wish you a lot of fun adventuring!!
"Pronounced how it sounds" is my new favorite bit, thank you for the inspiration!
A colleague of mine says that for so many things during staff meetings and I absorbed it into my brain forever haha
Seeing Memento Mori written in Futhark Runes is really cool in its anachronism
i am actually mesmerized by this... what kind of sorcery is this
If I knew what kind of magic I was channeling, I'd tell you I swear haha
The journal looks amazing and honestly makes me want to put more effort into decorating my character notes as well!
I do want to note that the "norse compass" is Icelandic and came to be around 800 years after the viking age. I know you use it in a D&D setting so in your group's world it can be whatever you want it to be, but I still feel like it's important to know the historical origin (especially since the symbol is so often mistaken as a viking age & norwegian thing).
edit.: I also noticed that you are using Elder Futhark runes. If viking age was your inspo, the Younger Futhark would match that more since it was used around that time.
Definitely an intersting concept. In the game I play (Knave 2E) each individual spell is its own book, and the vids on this topic inspired me to get creative and make little books fo a couple of the spells to test the concept. I did it by folding over an index card, making a mockup cover, then writing the spell's function on the inside. Definitely going to try this!
Oh that's super cool! If I ever play a wizard I have thought of making a spell-book so I can keep physical spell cards. So hearing you make one via an index card is something I never thought of!
Your DM thanks you for being this organized and into their campaign. 😘 Excited to see how it fill out!
I am currently DM-ing my first campaign with all beginner players, and I think this is an awesome way to help newer players keep more RP aspects in mind as well as really get into their character, thank you for sharing this is amazing! :)
That journal is so cute! Thanks for sharing, now I feel inspired to make my own one for an upcoming campaign. ☺️
My wife and I have the same journal book and I can say that it works soooo nicely. We have inserts with different types of papers, blanks, lined and dotted, with deviders as well. We each take part in two different campagins as of now, so we each have two journals. one for each character, in a different colour so we won't bring the wrong journal along xD
Good idea using different colours haha 😆
This just popped up on my feed and omg!!! As an artist, avid writer and scrapbooker, and of course D&D enjoyer, this is the perfect project for me to do in between campaigns! I absolutely loved all ur characters and thanks so much for including the materials and the voice over!!
If I ever get a chance to play irl, I'm definitely doing this! At the moment I only ever play online with my friends but my OneNote almost already reflects something like this so I can imagine making the transfer wouldn't be too hard for me. This was really cool! thank you for sharing your process!
Well thank you very much for enjoying it! I hope you get to experience an irl campaign one day! Online ones are just as nice but irl ones are fun to experience.
I actually have a piece of advice, use a bit of parchment or crepe paper between the acetate so the things you write don't rub off and the acetate doesn't stil together. Its a lovely D&D journal❤
Wish I can also make entire journals for my characters and campaigns...
It certainly does look like a nice(and a bit therapeutic) way to exercise creativity and develop your artistic skills.
This is such an awesome idea. As someone with trouble staying focused in game and having a really hard time with note taking this might be exactly what I need.
For such a small channel this videos incredibly well made, I love the whole aesthetic of your journal and I now have a bunch of inspiration and ideas for my next character. Channels adorable best of luck with the campaign!
Love this idea. I was our Campaign note taker and filled many pages with nonsense. It would be nice to get myself organized.
god this makes me want to do an irl campaign so i can make a lil scrapbook binder for my character
The process is so fun. Getting to lose yourself in every detail of character of your own making and letting certain parts of your current interests and niches bleed into the final result. It may be time consuming but it feels like less of a chore when you enjoy it and each part of this new chapter and person. I love how you make something physical and intricate for your character. It’s super cool.
This randomly came up in my feed and to be honest? This is what I needed. This helped so much for me and how I need to keep my focus with my PC and the campaign. I always have issues focusing during sessions. What's happened in the previous session. What and why my PC is doing anything. Thank you. Thank you so much!
I'm touched to hear that my self-indulgent video was able to help you with your own PC and campaign! Hopefully, you feel more in the zone with your future sessions!!
Lief is used in dutch/flemish too as “beloved, dear, sweet and lovable”
Interesting! I love that!
Ooo! I really love your setup for your character journal. I really wanna see the progress on your character. Reminds me of my ranger from a campaign that is on hiatus at the moment. Though I have been needing to fill out her own journal fully. I really should be doing that at some point soon. I also do digital notes of every character I do so I remember what all happened at each session. It's fun making a journal all their own though. :3
Why in the world have I never thought of this forget about one page about a character imma go make a whole book!
RUclips recommended this video and I can honestly say this is the content I want more of! ❤ I love scrapbooking for books I've read or games I've played. And DnD has been hard to avoid as of late.
Thank you!!! I hope to make more in the future, whether an update for this character or more similar videos for other games that also aren't just DnD.
15:00 Combat flow chart. Very cool. 👍
This video popped up in my recommended feed and I cannot believe this wasn’t shown to me sooner!!
I have been tinkering w the idea of a dnd journal for AGES bc I always end up becoming party note taker - I also love running beginners oneshots and mini campaigns, and sometimes the character sheet can be overwhelming to new players. This is such a great layout! Thank you so much for sharing, so inspiring ❤
(And i would love to see how you fill out your journal notes, too! Have so much fun on your new adventure!)
loved this! please keep us updated about your journal and your campaign 😊
super interested in the actual little journal book you used, it turned out so cool!
Thank you!
Ahhh watching this while doing my own!!! Been character journaling and scrapbook all my notes since 2021-ish, it’s so relaxing. Love to see some inspo. Enjoy icewind!
I look forward to seeing how this journal evolves in future videos!
I know I'm a couple of weeks late on this, but it just came up in my recommended and I love this. ;) It's such a nice little thing for yourself and the character you're going to be spending so much time with. Thanks for this!
Totally we need see how this journal will evolve
We just wrapped an icewind dale campaign. Id love if my players were this organized and into player background and creation.
As long as your players are still super excited about the campaign I hope that balances you wanting some organization and PC creation haha. Without spoiling the campaign (for me haha) did you enjoy running it!?
This popped up on my recommended and I’m very VERY new to DnD and I absolutely loved watching this! I’d love to see a completed notebook and see how your journey went in the campaign!
I didn't know the word "Lief" had a norse origin. In Dutch it means sweet/ kind/ adorable/ cute/darling(beloved) and is kinda pronounced as Leef in English
My group is currently in icewind dale too! We’re well into our campaign now but seeing this has made me want to do this for myself, it looks so much more fun than the notebook I’m using for session notes.
i loved this 🤍🏹 and yes i’m here for an update !
Love the art of your character and gave the artist a follow! definitely feeling inspired to illustrate something similar color scheme wise in the future with that bright hair, it blends super well and ripping up the map paper was just- the cherry on top. I just wish I could get my little hands on that beautiful binder / character sheets. I think I found the same one on amazon but I don't think Everything Dice sells the sheets separately outside of their campaign journals unless if I just can't find it xd I'll have to do some digging for a journal of my own for the 2+ year long campaign my buds and I have, as well as the new one we started on fridays and my own on sundays.
Love this journal idea! The character art is so good, and I'm really digging the layout.
Thank you thank you!! Can't recommend Jess enough for her art, she's wonderful to work with.
This came up on my recommended, and I'm so glad it did! I've always wanted to do something like this and it was so interesting to see how you put yours together.
Thank you! I hope it inspired or provided some cool ideas for if and when you get to do one for yourself!!
I'm definitely using this as a template for a character journal! This is such a good idea, and it looks so pretty!
Thank you!!! It is a HIGH compliment to have when someone else wants to use a layout of anything really as a template!!
Love your d&d reminders! Especially the ooc part. That's something I'm trying to practice more, too.
It's hard! The fear of metagaming can be a bit too present when I know what I could do to help the party or move things along with the GM.
Amazing video!!! I loved the journal
Wooo!!! Self indulgent character journals ftw!
I’m starting my very first campaign soon, and this was a very insightful video into things that I have to keep in mind (I will not be making one of these journals for my first campaign 😭)
How funny! I’m preparing an Icewind Dale session for my player for tomorrow while listening to this :D
What a fun turn of events!!
Omg this is so cool and now I wanna do it for my new character as well 😍
i’ll be going into my first ever campaign next month and while i have developed my character, i think this is such a cool idea & i 100% want to do this!
Heck yeah!
Thanks for sharing your amazing journal with us! Your note taking key is way better than mine - I‘ll have to steal it for myself! 😊
Please use it! I'd be stoked to hear my note taking key is useful for others!
I need more stuff like this omg.. I’m currently working on a Wings of Fire dnd campaign with a friend and I’m super pumped! This totally inspired me
Thank you for the comment! I'm happy to hear that my little (haha 20 minutes isn't that small I guess) video inspired you for your DnD Campaign!!
As a dnd player and artist who also makes journals for my characters this is so nice to see!!! I'll have to add the tattoo ref into my books because i forget that i have them constantly especially since they do something mechanically haha!
Thank you! And oh gosh, cool mechanically useful tattoos? Big fan of that!
Omfg yesss I've been looking for a video like this!! Tysm
You are so welcome!
This is literally inspiring me to do better and to make it easier to play as a pc! ❤ Thank you for being such a good role model!
Oh my goodness this just warmed my heart, thank you 😭
I think the winter landscape image is from The Long Dark video game? The game has a bunch of awesome designs. The wolves always felt beautiful and powerful and so deadly!
such a cool and inspiring journal!
Thank you so much!!!
This is so cool! I might try to make one for the next campaign I’m in!
Thank you! And if you do that's awesome!
Loved the journal, very cool. The map is from John Gwynne's series "The Faithful and Fallen", it's amazing I'm reading it at the moment would definitely recommend. I've ran Icewind Dale and it's a lot of fun, a ranger would be great for it. Hope you enjoy
Oh wow, now I actually want ribbons 🤩
DM watching this: damn I better not kill this one so fast…
😂
I loved every second of this! Thank you for sharing. Do you have a video on your old journal? I couldn't find it on your channel
Of course! Here! ruclips.net/video/moJR8oygvwM/видео.htmlsi=LngFJGcpve9fnUds
@@easyminds13 Idk how I missed it, tysm! It made me start digging around for my old disc journal as I prepare for a solo RPG adventure 🥰
@@raenbeau a solo RPG adventure!? That sounds fun.
Absolutely loved the video
I’ve only played online dnd games, but when I join a in real life game, I definitely want to do this!
I love this so much!!!!!
Thank you!!
mam, the proficiency bonuses go in four level increments, just remember that and you'll be fine
Bro is underrated!!! Your channel seems cool wth🙌🙌
🫣❤️
My DnD group is just about to finish up Icewindale! It is a great campaign! Hope you enjoy playing it :)
Oohh!! I am currently having a good time, thank you!!
watching this after having run icewind dale, this is *so fun to watch*
!!!!! Thank you!?!! This makes me more excited to play haha
Ranger Danger 🦊
Ive never played DnD... But... I do have a character.... And this looks so fun to make so i may have to make something like this! 😂
This is such a great idea!! I’m definitely doing this for my next campaign.
Question though, I can’t seem to find the character sheets online. Do you know if they were removed?
I got them with a journal that I purchased. It came with 2 PC sheets, and I'm using the spare one that I never ended up using. When I bought it, I never saw an option to only purchase the character sheets. I would maybe send them an email and reach out? Perhaps its a private listing you can purchase from them!
@@easyminds13 Thanks a ton for the reply, and advice! I'll see about looking into that! I'm dying to put try D&D scrapbooking haha
Love this
Oh wow this is amazing. I really want to do something like this. I wish I could find some dnd people in my area, how do I do this😩
I loooove the pages of Everything Dice!! Is there a link for the digital pages so i can print them like u did?
I do not have a link for the digital pages. I am using the extra's that came with their Journal that I purchased a while back. As far as I know you can't buy their pages any where specific, but maybe they have a listing somewhere else and I just don't know. I'd try contacting them to see if they themselves have one.
I don't play DND but I wanna make this for my Skyrim character lol
I LOVE THAT
0:55 WAIT I HAVE THAT SAME BINDER FOR MY GREMLIN!!
This is awesome!
Thank you thank you!!
Baby: low attention
James: that’s not my fault. I wasn’t here.
My dnd group just started a new campaign and I'm so making one of these for my Orc barbarian! how did you make the combat flow chart cuz I need one of those? as a noob to dnd I struggle with the combat systems😂
I totally get that! My first thing is I actually didn't make one until I reached level 2 for my current character and my previous rogue. As that's when I started getting a lot more class actions that I wanted help with. From there I made a row for ability combos. For example, what CAN you do on your turn with all your action economy. So for me, with my rogue who had a lot of options, I wrote "Bonus Action Insightful Fighting - Then Attack" or "Attack - Disengage - Move" or "Move - Bonus Action Hide - Attack". Basically I wrote down all the combos I could and wanted to do in combat. Which helped me the most. Outside of that I had a row for breaking it down even further; listing all my attack actions, all my bonus actions, and all my reactions for combat. And I also had a row for class features I would forget often like evasion and uncanny dodge. I feel like - the higher of a level you are the more there is so one page might not work but I got up to level 10 with my Rogue and only needed 1 page total.
If only i had a game i was *playing* in to do this with
*cries in forever dm*
I feel for you the the forever dm curse.
Sorry if I just missed it, but what cover is that? I really like the layout of the pockets!
And Ranger Danger is the best thing ever :D
The journal I purchased at my local Staples, but I know (based off of other cool TTRPG journals on YT) that you can purchase very similar ones off of Amazon.
@@easyminds13 I'll have to check Staples out!
Hey !
Sorry for my bad english,
I'm starting DnD (never played yet) and i LOVED your journal, would you mind sharing with me a link of where i can get one like yours ? I found one on everything dice but there isnt a great amount of choice for colors.
Thanks !
Hello! First of all, that is so exciting!!! I hope your first dnd experience is fun and welcoming! In regards to the journal, I purchased it from my local Staples but I have seen so many others who have purchased very similar A5 journals off of Amazon. The inside pages themselves I got from Everything Dice when I first purchased their journal for a previous character and campaign.
I did provide links to whatever I could in my video description, hopefully those can hellp!
@@easyminds13 Thanks for your reponse !! I will check everything in detail. And for the moment i havent found any one to play with me 😂. I'm doing my character, his background and everything it's a lot of fun
After watching this I feel like I need to restart my journal!
Hopefully not a full restart haha
@@easyminds13 I kind of shot myself on the foot by getting a hardcover journal but I’ll do my best with it!
wow that fox sticker is SO CUTE i wonder who made it! ;) ;)
Oh whom EVER could it be!
where did you get your pages for you npc tracker, quest logs, and character info?
All of those pages I received with the Everything Dice Character Binder. These were extras that I didn't use from the previous journal.
i dont even play dnd and i want to do this w my ocs
Where did you find the templates? Especially for questlog and such? Im new to this.
I had purchased a journal from Everything Dice off of their Etsy, and it came with their own 5e pages inside the journal. I do not know if they sell the template separately, but that's where I got them.
is there a place to just get the pdf files for the character sheet layout? i just need a whole notebook
I am uncertain. You would need to connect with Everything Dice and see if they have the PDF for sale separately. I don't actually know if they do!
This makes me want to play DnD soooo bad, but I don’t really have a group to play with 😭
Oh no! I feel like that's the case with a LOT of people. I do hope you can find a group, whether online or in person, so you can get your DnD needs met!
13:00
eh female lief erikson! lol. i knew the word "lief" sounded familiar.
I find it interesting how you chose to spell it as Lief rather than Leif (or it‘s just a misspelling, which is fair)
I also had a mini heart attack because of how rare the name is, especially outside of Nordic countries
It was 100% a misspelling which I caught only after I uploaded the video, have plans to address the mistake and update in a future video haha
What is your experience of the paper quality
For the Everything Dice character sheet paper for the amazon dotted paper?
Hey just FYI that "compass" is actually a wheel iirc. not 100% sute it's a wyrd wheel but it's definetley not a compass.
and runes (elder and younger furthak ) are not letters,. For norse sthings from a NON-religious standpoint, Jackson crwaford is a decent source. Not great but he is not bad either
I know that there are two different Norse "wheels" or "compasses". The one I did a lot of look into (Jackson Crawford is very knowledgeable) is the Vegvisir which has been used as a type of compass iirc. As I learned through different podcasts and readings that it was used as a signpost or way finder. Which is super interesting, but yes I know not a traditional compass.
Wait, you must prepare? I have everything in my head and I never got problems in my story.
What if your character dies in session 1?
If that happens, I'll reuse her again for something else in the future :). I was already told to have a backup character for the campaign haha
@@easyminds13 That's the right attitude! I think I'd be heartbroken if I'd put in half as much work as you have!
