Creative Method: Mind Mapping!

[@titlowrockstar]

Liked this video because LOVE is not an option. Ya know, that’s really indicative of fatal flaws in our modern world. Why is love not an option? I digress. Thanks for your influence and realness, HF!

[@johnwhite2412]

The most intellectually stimulating thing I did today was watch this video. Enlightening.

[@xaosbob]

You are a brilliant man, but your editing is pure, inspiring genius.

[@alamos52]

Xaos those zooms. I think he levelled

[@powergamers5513]

Indeed. I've just decided to start editing my own videos, and I came back to watch all his videos for some inspiration!

[@maximshchapov2624]

Oh man, I hope you're doing well now! Just want you to know, you are one of my favourite people on KZbin and your videos were extremely helpful both in my D&D games, as well as in life, in my creative work. So I really missed you and glad you're back, just remember there are people literally from the other side of the planet that love and appreciate you and your work. Keep it up!

[@TheSapientity]

Seconded, all of this.

[@signalrk]

Ditto

[@oz_jones]

Amen

[@DiscoBarbarian]

Brace yourself Internet.... Runehammer is coming for you.

[@gambent6853]

Mind Mapping - 11:06 Awesome concept that I had not thought to use before. So often I get stuck with writer's block planning adventures and encounters out the 'conventional' way. I definitely have to try this out. Thanks for always bringing something fresh to the table Hankerin!

[@PhilipDudley3]

Thank you. Just looked at the time and was like, oh man. Good talks, but if I need to come back, I don't want to sift through 11min of it every time.

[@PBruno-cm3qh]

Dude, you take this channel wherever the hell you need to go, we will happily follow. The majority of us have joined years ago and live the Runehammer life. From Lair of Knowledge, Fundamentals, Room Design, ICRPG....just do It! Lead this lumpy headed legion onward. For we are Bad Asses and we are many!

[@sundaynightdm2684]

The end of this video proves that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Quick thing; Talomire (my, now published, campaign setting, wouldn’t exist if I hadn’t found your journal videos a year or more ago. It frees up my thinking and allowed me to do a load of stuff I’d have gotten too bogged down in details to ever do. Also, I love the video, and can’t wait to see how things change around here. And as someone getting into RPG publishing, I’m totally happy to learn from someone who’s bosses that realm.

[@Cannonbo]

i'm rewatching some of your old vids and they are still helpful. i have to pause often to write down ideas. thumbs up to you sir.

[@genjiglove6124]

My notebook is open right now! You're the best KZbin person, thanks for your insightful and intellectual lessons. Strength, honor, bullet points.

[@TheSpatch0]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who hums the “ I dream of Jeannie “ theme song when drawing or writing an adventure.

[@zacharygrafman4760]

Looks like I speak for most everybody in saying that I'm just here for whatever you are putting out there Hankerin! Glad to see your continued success and wanted to add my voice to the chorus. Its been awesome watching the channel and Patreon grow, go do more cool stuff!

[@kathyevans3251]

I am also a visual thinker I appreciate this video..Some people I know have criticized me for doing it.I accomplish more by mind mapping and I am spreading it to others

[@TFconfused]

Found your channel about a year ago, when the last Zelda just came out is how I remember. You have been one of the standouts of all the crazy awesome DnD creators I watch. Whatever you do publicly, I will do what I can to support you

[@AcornFox]

For what it's worth, I found your channel a couple years ago and stopped looking for creative inspiration and DM tips content. One man's opinion: there are lots of other tabletop creators on youtube, but you're the best. I'm excited to see where this channel goes.

[@brettwaddingham3296]

Absolutely love mind mapping. A few years ago, I didn't see the benefit. But one day I was having trouble sorting my thoughts out. I decided to try mind mapping. It felt so good to 'brain-dump' and sort through thoughts with this tool. Thanks for exploring the topic as it relates to DnD/RPGs!

[@mouseysmak]

Love it my man. I came to d&d as an artist to see if it would help me with my art, now I've gotten to the point where I want to do more writing and world building and just general creative things. Good luck to you!

[@2000TalesRolePlaying]

Oh my god thank you. I've been doing my GM notes like this for years and always tried to find a way to get people to understand what I'm talking about. Now I'll just show them this.

[@AltusNoumena]

Hands down the best D&D KZbin channel. I really yearly appreciate you brother

[@Dieguilloeltunante]

Such an alchemist! I never knew wine could be mixed up with beer.

[@ItsOopsy]

I will never quit watching these. Gods speed good sir!

[@Meeeeeeeestery]

Hank, you are the best! Most fun, most creative and most inspiring. You make my day, always.

[@Finkeldinken]

I can't believe I'm part of the majority for once! \o/ Also, I almost don't care what you do here. I just really enjoy your energy. To me, you're a inspiration catalyst, and I love hooking my mind and eyes up to your videos for that reason. You do you, and I hope life stops throwing curve balls at you faster than you can catch 'em soon. Cheers! *Sips Snoremark æblemjød with rosehips*

[@callindrill]

I honestly can't imagine who would dislike this video... Hank, you're awesome, and a constant inspiration to me as a DM. Hoping to run into you again at GenCon this year. ;)

[@amdnable]

So happy to see a new video Hank. Although, I didn't feel at all you were gone. You've being pushing out so much content lately! I really appreciate the improvements of the video while keeping the Runehammer details like Bloodwine (+1 WIS), the Fire Painting (+2 INT) etc. Keep rocking Hank, cheers

[@claybass3631]

Dude... I'm really late to the party, but, I'm HERE! It was either DM Scotty, or Professor Dungeonmaster, cant remember which, that brought you to my attention. I've got 2nd edition, so far, read it several times, amd eager to play. I'm having problems with Drivethrurpg getn the cards, so I've been doodling my own.... but, your artwork blows mine out the toilet. Maybe I'll eventually get thru... anyway, I've never really had much interest in bookkeeping RPGs, but, something about your take on it just resonates with me. More fun and story, less math! Thanks a lot. Looking forward to many years of adventure and mayhem! All the best.

[@bravesirrobbins4849]

Thanks for this video, Hank! I so appreciate your ability to go from nutzo goofball to legitimate psychological and historical researcher without sacrificing pace or tone. That’s a skill very few have. Peace.

[@Xigmus]

I'm currently using this to plot out my Eclipse Phase game. So much easier to set up scenarios and plan things out this way.

[@Kevin-Peter]

I love the mind mapping, love the evolution of the the show (I love writing and creativity so this is really awesome) and I love the Froglings of Durathrax...I'm sure they are quite scary! Cheers, bro!!

[@ricklongley9172]

You're a constant inspiration!

[@colonjack7573]

Good to have you back, I'll watch anything you push out. Love your content

[@vincentcleaver1925]

What R U doing? Booting up the crazy!

[@LandvaettrsLair]

So glad to see you back man! Your energy and methods fuel me up each time I see your vids. In any case , you do the stuff you wanna get done, even if it means the channel gets less regularly updated, you don't owe us a damn thing. Strenght, Honor and Beer!!

[@NYRanimaciones]

Runehammer videos always filled with gems of knowledge. Love iu Hankerin

[@mattsikatar8498]

These components are the reason i would watch your videos in the first place. The direction you're going will only increase my view counts.

[@aliasgimpy]

I love the way your mind works Hankerin. Stay classy.

[@dorksteelcitadel8976]

Never thought of the fur table. Cool idea!

[@chewbaccavader6538]

Bring these type of videos back!

[@ddesouz6]

Nice to have you back! Strength, honor, beer.

[@drummachine1901]

Hank! I work for a beer distributor and I have some news you might enjoy with your IPA likings. Sam Adams just hit the shelves this week with a New England IPA. It's amazing. Go get you some!

[@FalkaRiannon]

You perfectly encapsulated why I like ICRPG. The visual part for me is way better to understand what the text wants to say than the text itself. As long as you keep loving what you do you will find people who will be willing to watch no matter the subject. I for my part am more interested in the actual design/publishing side of RPGs since you barely see any of it on YT. Even though DnD is trying to bring more to the forefront with Mike Mearls Happy Fun Hour and there are a ton of google+ communitys where they discuss it but almost nothing on youtube.

[@PaladinMthe13th]

You're awesome and this video is awesome! Hope you keep on enjoying doing what you're doing!

[@seangrimm1865]

If you ever want to do Motorcycles AND talk D&D, it sounds like a trip to Leavenworth is in order!

[@ricnosfe]

Man maybe a little later, like internet explorer! jejejej. Really love this chapter, you´re the best. It´s curious but the main enemy of the visual thinking is ourselves! I try so hard to make this exercise, concepts coneccting, drawnings, schemes, maybe a song lyric... BUT your brains starts to sabotage and wants to take you in the trail of "good linear thinking". THanks man you made me like to play DnD again. Keep shapeshifting, old drunken doppleganger!

[@BraxtonSharkboy]

Good ol Hank, havent caught one of your vids in a while man but oh boy do they always put a smile on my face. Cheers brotha

[@nealsterling8151]

The amount of creativity here is absolutely fascinating!

[@calebsmith2131]

Asom content. I love how you present your ideas with a direct and simplified way.

[@emilylindstrom724]

Sounds cool, you do you man, we'll happily watch.

[@TheKodiak72]

Is it weird, when you raised your glass to toast I also raised my beer I was drinking to toast to. To Runehammer, my your light guide us onto more delicious ale.

[@brendanmurray4538]

YESSS! old school Drunkens & Dragons Runehammer goodness! Shield Wall Assemble! Plus live CR tonight best day ever

[@nathankelley1466]

I learned a lot about drawing from that book you presented, "Drawing from the right side of the brain", over 30 years ago. Great suggestion.

[@Luckebojchanel]

Nice to have ya back! Looking forward to your new content!

[@FrankMonday]

You’re so freaking awesome Hankerin! Good man, looking forward to see what the ongoing metamorphosis will birth this time round.

[@KarasSteiger]

Nice to see you again! I hope you're back on track and well! This video was awesome! I am doing my journal this way, but I still really shy away from the drawing... have to work on that. And the metamorphosis sounds great - more stuff about ICRPG and the creative process that is essentially the core of our hobby (dreaming stories), well... sign me up! And once my finances are allow it, I will see you in Patreon.

[@greenzfingerz]

missed you man, I love me some mind maps

[@sargondp69]

Brain Science, new monsters, crushing your enemies: the joys of life. (the dragon in your sketch book looks good).

[@erezamir7218]

This seems like delicious ol' crazy running without pants down the street Hank madness for my mind fuzz.

[@wesharman7002]

Hey man, im new to the Channel, looking into getting into fantasy RPG’s on the table top period, i love your vids cuz to me your explainations span so much more then a single system! Take Runehammer to whatever place you feel you want!!! Im sure the great content will continue to flow woth your interests!

[@scarecro652]

Love icrpg and cant wait for more awesome stuff from you

[@Bogrin]

Gotta say I’m super pumped for the metamorphosis! What strange beast will emerge from the drunken cocoon??? Mind mapping makes total sense to me as everything I do I draw/write in a book! The biggest thing I struggle with is coming up with names of characters/places/monsters! Any naming advice?

[@ExplodingMarmalade]

Dude, you blow my mind every time I watch one of your videos. One question for you, where do you find those big honking journals you use? All I've been able to find are the Moleskine journals, which are cool but they're too thin to truly feel like a tome of bewilderment and wonder.

[@Runehammer1]

ExplodingMarmalade barnes n nobles

[@AcornFox]

ExplodingMarmalade Look into Leuchtturm journals. They are not cheap, but they are wonderful. Edit: Also, Ive been looking at Code & Quill journals, but can't vouch for them yet.

[@bigbossignition]

All I care about is D&D but I love hearing about what excites you as a creative person. You do you and I’ll watch what I hope will be enjoyable and helpful to me :)

[@samanthalacroix2687]

I just stumbled on to this channel and I am glad I did.

[@StarshipsSteel]

Woah. This is like old skool Drunkens&Dragons. Love it!

[@Raven7744]

Even if the content of channel is morphing your great personality is still the same ;) Keep it going man!

[@UndeadBrony88]

Dude your funny outburst, Crack me up🤣🤣🤣🤣 local bistro🤣🤣 if I lived where you do I'd have a ton a fun playing with you in your games.

[@jello195]

Gregorian Dragons O_O what a brilliant idea. I'm so stealing this for my games.

[@Pompo5]

i didnt understand half of what you said on the first half but im always interested in your proyects, not only dnd. i still hope you keep doing rpg stuff every so often tho

[@8Sagittarius8]

I love your stuff man, please share more with us

[@FRVNKX]

Nothing to say perfection!

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

Like a big ol' badass.

[@gabrielortizmachado9030]

keep it up man, awesome videos!! This is pure RPG theory! I think you train BJJ

[@hjorhrafn]

Looking forward to the new vistas you want to share with us

[@patricktaylor9142]

no man! we want you! fuck those other channels youre the only guy thats real to me as far as all the DnD youtube personas go. I definitely love the change and the forward momentum but dont think that with the absence of you we can find it somewhere else on youtube. we need you bro. we need real shit and we need more beer mixed with wine someone who isnt afraid to be themselves. we need cool nerd rolemodels like you bro. da fuck

[@sethchapman1425]

Okay I just found you. And this video spoke to me.

[@MDJButcher]

"This looks like sewage!" *Drinks* If that's not the perfect encapsulation of his antics, I don't know what is.

[@MrDowntemp0]

Where can I learn about wine/beer mixture and the 'rouche' effect?

[@Runehammer1]

google?

[@Artynos_YT]

Where do i find the shirts?!

[@RollforDamageRFD]

Good stuff my man! Drawing in the right side of the brain has helped me a lot as well. A good buddy gave it to me As well as a book on writing from the right side. Glad to see you feeling better! My mind mapping is very similar but I tend to be a goal driven dm. Like in place of the two entities you wanted to incorporate I would have a sacking of a city or the destruction of a sacred place. Then bullet point causes and repercussions that could play out. This helps me have more paths to follow if my party goes of the beaten path. Do you think end goals are less important and can be changed as needed? And that the characters of the world or campaign should be paid attention to more? Since those are the things that stick with players the most?

[@NightWatchersPet]

*raises mug o' mead* good to have you back

[@kapittsalt]

Condolences for the IRL crit. We are not enlightened beings yet, so we must continue to be natural beings. It ain't easy. But we love you, so:

[@tommyd2235]

Is it a dry or sweet wine ?

[@Bungwirez]

gibberish. kinda sorta. but yet. something in my own journal stirs.

[@alfieparker1579]

Where do you get all these cool figures? That dragon was so awesome!

[@Runehammer1]

i make em!

[@weaselrampant]

Just add whiskey, and that blood wine could be Spodeeodee

[@BillWiltfong]

4:43 nope, this is the first time I've seen one of your videos. I guess YT wants to promote your new direction.

[@Stickman6O2]

Hey Hankerin! As always this is amazingly useful insight. I have a question. What dimensions are your void box? I made one a couple years ago that is way too large (that's what she said). I am thinking of making a new one but can't decide on dimensions and yours looks really handy yet adequately large (see previous). Give me this BOOOOOON!

[@russellgardner5485]
