just discovering your channel because I'm starting to prep for my first game as DM (for mothership) and everything was super useful, would love to see how you prepare a one shot in miro :)

I'm loving this channel.

almighty engagement

How long, on average, would you say a single one of these guide cards took to design?

I would love it if you could share that d100 table of questions you ask at the start of the session

Please please PLEASE POST A TUTORIAL ON HOW TO USE MIRO AS A GM. I am a new dungeon master, and I want to learn how to use miro from the perspective of a gm, so that I can get tips on how to organize, things to put in, and how to arrange them.

do you make a custom d100 table for asking characters questions or did you source one from somewhere to start yours?

When you try to overprep, but fail to manage your focus and start your first session with a lot of really detailed notes but the important stuff was scribbled out in the hours before the session This video will definitely be helpful for the main campaign I'm working on! I've got some stuff written down, but that's mostly just fleshing out the initial idea for the world. Now I'm stuck unsure where to focus next. I'm so grateful I came across this today!

I have a version of miro for my campaign. Its a collection of loose papers of various sizes and quality of legibility. Oh and some of it isnt canon but just chaotic planning

Man, Miro looks pretty good, but I am not a fan of how much it seems to be using Generative AI with its features. Does anybody know of an online digital whiteboard that a group can collectively view and edit that doesn't use AI?

I would love to see miro in practice

Comment for Dio

This is so cool! Can you show us how you made these brochures, please? I think it's neat! :D

The content is nice. I want to say the following to help you make content: the video contains a looooooooooot of lingo that I don't understand as a new GM, player, and someone who doesn't know a lot of ADHD terms. I'm also not tech savy. Defining terms would be helpful. I am not a therapist or understand a lot about ADHD symptoms despite having it. Resources in the video need to be linked in the description. Good job pointing out theory vs reality! A lot of KZbinrs don't talk about this. :D

I used miro with my group in the pandemic as an improvised battlemap thingy but i never thought about organizing with it, the collaborative player board idea is so great! i would love a miro prep video for sure!!

Gotta love it when the advice one gives is actually auctionable, focused on the practical tools. You have no idea what a rare treasure that is (okay, you probably do, I'm just trying to say that I appreciate ya). Getting another take on how to categorise information is probably something I could use, too, some of us have a hard time gauging what their players want or need to know. 😅 Never heard of Miro before. I'm not that much of a visual type, I tend to produce text and tables and occasionally a database here and there when I organize information for myself, but I can see my players taking a shine to it!

I would absolutely love to see you organize an adventure on Mirro.

Thank you, space mammal, this vid is what my neuro spicy butt needed to help organize. Great work 🎉 👏

My mind is blown by the idea of a player-facing collaborative digital white board! I will have to present my players with this idea and see how it works but I am sure that it would be a hit after the initial learning curve since it makes note taking more engaging and less stressful on one person alone.

Another banger. Good job marmot.

hey hey, anyone here got thoughts on normotim for adhd? been considering it for better focus, but not sure if it's the move 😅

Oh man i forgot to ring the bell! i missed so many videos XD

Wow just wow, i need this Miro in my life right now the fact that others can use it and collaborate is so epic, thank you for this wonderful video. Also yes i would love to see a video of you doing dnd prep on Miro i love seeing other Dms process it helps me understand new ways i can stream line and make things work better for me

awesome video as always!! would love a miro prep vid.

Do the one shot video!

Nice 🫵

I'd love to see this prep, I'm always tinkering with prep techniques and your content is great for me

Love this vid! Yes, please do a Miro vid. Thank you for your channel!

curious about miro, I've used obsidian a little and the way you describe it sounds related

I love the idea of a digital whiteboard, and would be very interested to see how you go about doing a one shot preparation using one.

I'm so happy to see a new video from you! These tips are amazing. I'll definitely use them. Earlier this week I was wondering if I should use Miro to organize a Pathfinder campaing that I want to GM (first-timer). I'd love to watch a video about that. Hugs from Brazil 😁

Shout out from Brazil, btw :D

I was so glad when I saw this thumbnail! Was already expecting for a new video to come out lol. Your content is amazing, thank you for the effort you put on it

Never been this early. I better watch the video before I put it in my watch later lol.

Another home run video! I think I speak for everyone here when I say that you should definitely do that one shot build video on Miro soon!

Great video!

That with google forms looks like something I could use. It's hard for me to gather people because I'm aware of my limitations so I become so careful that I don't even reach out. But if I write out questions where people can click answers then I can get information without getting too drained before the actual session.

I must thank you for bringing up guides offering different points-of-view from different factions, and reinforcing the idea of the guide being in-universe. This not only solves some problems I'd been agonizing over for a while now, it's inspired a new opening session. In brief (yeau, right!) I'd wanted to open with a holiday/festival scenario (because I've used them before with good results), but couldn't choose what kind of holiday. While watching your video I decided to combine the weeklong county-fair "Honing Days" and sacred "Day Of St. Esquellon", with two short guides: one for locals & secular/peasant folk, and one for the upper-class/cosmopolitan gentry types. Each guide can then represent a specific world view, the dichotomy being a major focus of this setting. I have more than enough content for each (and a couple others, to be honest!), now it's just a matter of separating serf information from nobility. Thanks again! [edited for clarity & to say I've subscribed]

I've been really enjoying these videos. They're very thoughtful, but also very succinct.

“Last time, with the Executors…” is how I start this campaign’s sessions. It gets a recap going and is a clear delineation.

So happy to have found your channel. I'm going to try out some of your advice in my main game. And that "and unclench your jaw" always catches me right when I'm grinding my teeth. 😂

I think that this video has sat in my Watch Later for like 6 months. In that time, I have reworked my game system, shifted campaign ideas, "finished" a test module, and started on a new one that is my current campaign plan. None of this has anything to do with the video but I came back and watched it anyways and yes, yes I needed to hear this.

Spooky, but I too had a history teacher named Mr. B who was a balding German man with 4 fingers. The highlights of the stories he told us about it were: lost a bet with the shop teachers and they took it as payment, infection after top secret art heist went sour, and my personal favorite: Shark Attack. The man was also obsessed with cats and all his art history presentations were absolutely riddled with them. I miss that crazy man.

I have recorded a one-on-one session where my player was running 4 PCs, and afterward I was able to use Whisper SpeechToText to turn it into text, and it did a really good job. I was even able to then have chatgpt summarize and itemize stuff for me. Sometimes playing with those tools is enough to get me excited to do book-keeping.

Your channel is a godsend among all these other youtubers that focus on all the embellishments and not enough time on the real meat and potatoes of tabletop rpgs, thank you!

Nearly clicked away at baseball but the "stay with me nerds" kept me 😂

Thank you for this series of videos. This episode has been particularly helpful in my own campaigns, as I generally play solo games, to play test new ideas for my players. Most times I have some difficulty explaining to the Players what is in the randomly created journeys that have been created for my solo characters. The suggestions that video expounds upon Related to "Travel Guides" has solved a lot of problems to make travel and exploration in a sandbox campaign more appealing to my Players. I am grateful for you great ideas! wishing you peace, light, and love, and barring that, A shiny new +2 weapon that will be useful to your adventuring travels!

Love your content!

So, what if my players won't even engage enough to open the survey? X'D I love these suggestions, hope to try implementing them for myself as a player if nothing else ^.^
