As a DM I always appreciate players who keep journals like that one, very helpful and super pretty too🥺

[@alieninabox]

It's definitely handy to keep track of everything! Especially when you go a long time between sessions And thank you! ❤

[@swampghost835]

the little charm that doubles as a death save counter is genius and SOOO cute!!!!! i'm obsessed!!!

[@alieninabox]

Ahh thank you!! It has fallen apart literally every time we play, but I keep remaking it because I love it so much 😆

[@MakerFishmeal]

I love this journal! Having your stats as stickers is just perfect.

[@alieninabox]

Ahh thank you!! 🥺❤️

[@Nshshbbe817]

I've always loved DnD but I get intimidated by it everytime😭 it's such a fun way to make stories tho! And your dnd sketchbook tour proves it!! This so nice looking😭😭 it's making me wanna do one of my own just for funsies

[@alieninabox]

It's definitely a lot to take in all at once 😭 I'm loving it so far though and I definitely recommend making a journal of your own! It's a lot of fun!

[@HamiltonIsLife]

I reckons d finding easier games, I like Tiny Dungeons! By Gallant Knight Games :) pdf can be found for cheap or free

[@melaniescribbles]

Thank you so much for posting this: Honestly, I had this old leather journal lying around that I didn't know what to do with, and I've had that thing since high school. You just gave me a reason to finally repurpose it. I'm pretty new to DnD as well: only did 3 campaigns and never finished one, but I love drawing my characters at some point. And I'm pretty much a note-taker, so thanks for inspiring me on ways to make looking back on old campaign memories more fun. Also, from my experience, wholesomeness like players gifting each other stuff is pretty standard in the DnD community: I know that the community as a whole is pretty noob-friendly, and my old group all pitched in to gift me a dedicated DnD notebook for my birthday. A little word of warning, though: if you continue the hobby, then that love for dice is going to get out of hand REAL quick, and that's okay. Our inner dice goblin eventually takes hold of us all. I have barely ever played and I already have like 6 different sets, so just saying... You might want to actually get some kind of storage for your dice at some point. Some people even use these lazy susan sort of spice racks to put them in little jars, so it doesn't have to be expensive. Also, you might want to check the r/DnD subreddit, people there are really helpful, and there are no stupid questions there. If you're ever unsure about something, then never be afraid to just ask someone in the community.

[@alieninabox]

Ahh thats great to hear! I'm so glad my video inspired you ❤❤ Ive already been looking at more dice online! There's so many cool ones, I can definitely see why people end up with huge collections of them 😭

[@minzyGG]

this si EVERYTHING to me, the little sketches are SO CUTE this has massively inspired me for my own dnd journal

[@ghoste3991]

MADDOX IS SHORT. -sincerely, an 8 ft tall spider woman in dnd.

[@misakimanjoume]

Amazing ideas for a DnD journal, and I already love your character :)

[@alieninabox]

Thank you so much!!❤

[@katiesmith8900]

This is such an amazing character journal, everything is so cute! Your drawing skills are amazing!!!! I love the death save beads-that is so cleaver, am going to make one for my druid.

[@alieninabox]

Thank you so much!!

[@thearchivemermaid2033]

Just started this video with the tiny inventory IM OBSESSED 🤩 😍

[@figaeroth]

came from your other video!! so interested in your dnd journal. i've been obsessed watching these kinds of vids!

[@alieninabox]

Ahh thank you so much!

[@jessiyleel3736]

D&D journals are the best and truly make the game more enjoyable (I think at least). I have one too and use it all the time. Keep doing what your doing But PLEASE double check your stats!! Idk if ya’ll are playing a homebrew version but some of your numbers should be higher, some lower, and some just don’t make sense 😅

[@alieninabox]

Sorry for the super late response 😂 We’ve just started playing again so I still have no clue what I’m doing, but my friends helped me make a character profile for Maddox on D&D beyond, so his stats have changed and make a lot more sense now! 😅

[@lavender-hearts]

i don't know if you've figured it out by now, since i'm commenting so late, but your hit dice is what you roll for your HP when you level up! I do love Maddox's little romance though, it's super cute and a great way to get on good terms with a rival group!

[@alieninabox]

Ohhh that makes sense! I haven’t played in a while so hopefully I’ll remember that next time I do 😭

[@meganpilz623]

Idk what's wrong with me, im literally crying because of how cute this is. Great Job! I love this so much!!

[@alieninabox]

Aw thank you!! ❤

[@StillCraftyClub]

Omg! The dice page!!! Genius!!! I've been playing for years and don't know what dice to use for what scenario.

[@alieninabox]

It definitely comes in handy! It’s a good idea to put it in the front if you make one though. I can never find the page when I need it 😭

[@sheliad4165]

I saw the first of DND journals for a character the other day, and I've been working on mine, I keep opening these themed videos and they all look so good

[@kaimera5163]

The little props are so cute omg 🥺

[@Madebysg]

The best D&D journal I've seen so far!

[@alieninabox]

Omg thank you so much!!

[@thiccboicory9964]

As a DM I love this so freaking much ❤❤. Shows you truly love the game and have a true passion for it. Its a lifestyle game. Thank you for sharing I been working on my character journal myself and this gave me lots of ideas. Cant wait for are first session coming up!!!!!! Havnt got to be a player in years and very happy I have somone thats wants to run a campaign for are group.

[@alieninabox]

Ahh I’m so glad it helped you with ideas! Character journals are so fun to put together

[@lunecakes]

i think i love your character

[@fleaasmcgee1271]

About to play dnd…I need a tut for this shit dawg I love how you did so much of this..

[@alieninabox]

A tutorial may or may not be coming very soon 👀 👀

[@patricianorwood1075]

A very cool journal. You are not bad for a new DND player.

[@LadyCastlevania]

I’ve been playing for just over 2 years and I’m only just now feeling like I have a hang of it. I still need help with the dice though lol

[@tiredfrog308]

This is amazing! The video inspired me a lot. I’m also so very jealous of your op shop find-I want to get my hands on one of those kiki-K organisers, but my favourite is $99 AUD. 💀 I’m going to try and DIY customise/reskin a cheap plastic officeworks one instead. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@alieninabox]

Ahh thank you so much💕 This one is getting super full now, so I picked up an A5 binder from officeworks for $5 and did exactly that! It’s super fun to customise it and add as many hidden pockets and things as you like

[@IcsulX]

Love your art style

[@alieninabox]

Thank you!!

[@0fluu0]

love the journal, love all the artistic interpretations like the death saves charms.. but I gotta be honest, it broke my heart hearing that you "hadnt played in a while cause the car broke down" AAAAAA the downfall of all dnd parties - people not showing up QAQ I hope your car got fixed soon C: is there an update? On the journal as well

[@alieninabox]

We started up again yesterday and it was so much fun! I’m playing as Maddox again, so we’ve updated his stats a little bit, and now I’m working on writing out/ drawing what we got up to during the session 😊

[@Traumatizedartist]

Im also new to dnd :D And i love my character dicer

[@triangleDAYS]

Dude. My brother’s online handle is “Alien with a Box” and we’re also Aussie!!! LOOOOL

[@alieninabox]

Omg that’s crazy! 😆👽

[@strawbs0da]

I’ve had such an itch to play dnd again omg this is not helping- I love this so much tho

[@alieninabox]

You should definitely play again 👀 👀 👀 And thank you!!

[@Shadowangel691]

omg i love this idea and ur art!! could u clarify how u made the blue & pink sticker spread with ur stats and stuff? did u use regular paper on sticker backing? sorry i can’t get over how cleanly that peeled off LOL. i am also guilty of wanting to chomp my clinky clanky math rocks.

[@alieninabox]

Thank you!! 🌈💕 And yes! I just glued old sticker backing to some card stock to make the actual page, then used washi tape to stick the coloured paper down which makes it super easy to take on and off

[@Shadowangel691]

oh that’s brilliant, thank you!

[@thearchivemermaid2033]

Okay explain to me your page bases, they look too shiny to be cardstock… I must know to make my own!

[@alieninabox]

Most of them are just really cheap card stock 😆 The folder did come with some inserts that are a shinier cardboard, but I mostly just use whatever scrap paper I have lying around!

[@GreenEyedFlower]

It's so cute. But you need to update your skills.

[@qithrax]

This is SO pretty!

[@lumimelseter8988]

This is so cute, I love the way you organised it, and how easy it would be to look back on and remember. Learning how the game works comes with time and you've set yourself up for success with this. For the charm for death saving rolls it may be smart to have broken heart ones on the same loop and remove one depending on if you fail or succeed the roll.

[@alieninabox]

Thank you so much!! It’s definitely a lot to learn so I’m glad my journal seems to be working so far 😂 And the broken heart charms are a great idea!

[@ronstrocity]

Do you take commissions for characters??? Your portrait of Maddox is stunning.

[@alieninabox]

Thank you so much! ❤ My instagram is alien.in.a.box if you want to talk through some ideas!

[@sasha_marie_13]

I’m having a hell of a time trying to find that paper that you’ve sticked your stats to - does anyone know what it’s called? 😅 beautiful journal you should sell them honestly! ❤

[@alieninabox]

Thank you so much ❤ The paper the stats are stuck to is the backing from a piece of contact paper! It’s just what I had leftover, but you could definitely use the backing from something like label paper, or an old sticker sheet too. I just glued it to some card stock to make it a bit sturdier 😊

[@sasha_marie_13]

Thank you so much for your reply! 😊❤

[@EyeClops-art]

This is so hecken cute, this whole video made me so nostalgic for when I first started to play. Keep this enthusiasm it’s so contagious 💕

[@sailorainbow]

THIS IS SO SICK IT LOOKS SO COOL OMG I LOVE IT 😍 😍😍

[@antsy._.artist778]
