how I use notion as a dungeons & dragons player! ✨

[@shapingshan]

I had truly no idea that everyone would be so excited about a template for my setup! Thank you for your patience as I got that set up: a template is now available here: tinyurl.com/shapingshannotion ✨

[@sarahsfieldnotes]

not even a d&d player but from a fiction writing perspective, this is such a useful way to keep my characters straight! love it!

[@shapingshan]

thank you! It’s definitely a helpful tool for all types of storytellers ✨

[@magnoliidae5794]

I am fully obsessed with this and am so excited to go implement some of these ideas for my own characters. So wonderful!

[@xravenite]

absolutely love this, thank you for the inspo! As a D&D player and notion girlie, I need to do this asap haha!

[@sunnsetteaTTV]

im legit OBSESSED with this- I have notion boards for all my characters but i really want to make it functional as well as pretty ;-;

[@littlereading4528]

Love. Love. Love it all. I can never seem to find a way to organize all my characters because I'm soo indecisive.

[@shapingshan]

thank you so much! 💕 a lot of work went into it but I’m so happy with how it runs now!

[@brubafc]

cannot get over how cute this is 😭 i'm gonna have to learn how to use notion now

[@amountainofbooks4732]

Really excited to see Bellamy’s character journal! I have been watching the character journal set ups on repeat!

[@SuperPuper000]

It's so cuuute ♥ Especially character's arts

[@firiwrath9224]

This video was such an inspiration! 😍 I spent a whole Sunday afternoon setting up a similar page for one of my characters after just having watched the first 3 minutes of your video, and since then have continued watching to add bits and pieces to that page based on what you've created for your characters. Thank you for sharing this!

[@sle_amuj]

thank you for the template, seeing your video made me really excited to dive into my new dnd-campaign!

[@Elfmain]

Damn I really love how this is all set up. I've subscribed in case you ever decide to share your template! (I'm so new to notion so I can't even begin think about how this all works right now lol )

[@omgits_paxton]

remind me to come back to this when the template is up - super cute!! and i absolutely need this, i suck at keeping stuff together

[@oliviaashleighkillion4873]

Omg, I absolutely ADORE this! I never knew about Notion, but I absolutely have to sign up now!

[@shapingshan]

thank you! It’s really helpful to organize life stuff as well as creative and d&d stuff, I use it all the time! ✨

[@hadassahdanerd4772]

ITS ALL SO BEAUTIFUL! 🤩

[@aneesadavis8300]

Is it possible to send a link of this as a notion template?

[@shapingshan]

I am working on adapting it into a template in the future! I'll definitely make a community post if/when it goes live and link it in this video description as well!

[@somatteson]

@@shapingshanI’d be thrilled to be able to access this template as well! Hoping you do make it available in the future.

[@Pastelnyan]

I have been trying to get my head around how this is done but cannot for the life of me figure it out! Would also love this as a template! Do hope you share some say!

[@lavndvrrart]

I love this! I'm using notion to dm and I was wondering how you did the playlist thing? I want to do something similar for my players but I can't figure out how to get it set up

[@phoebeknight3802]

if you're wondering about the layout, it seems to be just three columns with the text written with the quote function. if it's the button you're wondering about then the function is under advanced blocks if you scroll all the way down (or just start typing /button).

[@lavndvrrart]

@@phoebeknight3802 Tysm! Do you know how to make the three columns? I managed to set up the quote thing with the button but I can't figure out how to make them in collums

[@lavndvrrart]

@@phoebeknight3802 ooo never mind I figured it out

[@Necrowemancer]

Your set up is amazing! Definitely inspired for my own DnD notion. This would make a wonderful template. How did you do the greyed out bit with their basic information (name, background, etc.)?

[@shapingshan]

Thank you! Those are text blocks that I highlighted and changed the background colour: if you highlight the entire block (rather than just the text), it changes the background of the full text block! ✨

[@bookmarkyourthoughtsblog]

This is adorable and I totally plan to make my own using your template, so thank you for sharing! I'm so sorry to pester, but would you be able to do a how to video of the dashboard and gallery set up? I'm making a very pathetic attempt lol! Thank you again for sharing everything!

[@iiarsenikvz5109]

hi how do you manage to have several characters at the beginning of your videos? because when i want to make another one it makes me another page but not a home page with all the characters like you have.

[@wild_egg_bush]

This is so clever and pretty! Would you mind if I used this style of notion pages until I figure out how to make it more personalized? I am a notion noob, haha.

[@shapingshan]

Thank you! Absolutely- definitely feel free to copy and follow the same layout I use and customize it as much as you'd like! ✨

[@laurahermeling2213]

I've been obsessed in the last few days about this - How do you add the border animations on the gallery sites? ^^' They are adorable! Thanks for the inspo - It's a great way to revisit some old characters.

[@shapingshan]

thanks for watching!! those are actually graphics I added while editing to make them stand out for each character- I wish there was a way to integrate them into notion itself!! ✨

[@laurahermeling2213]

@@shapingshan Thanks for the answer, lets hope they integrate it one day :D

[@tuvasaldert4069]

wow really nice! Do you have a template for this?

[@oliviaashleighkillion4873]

Terribly sorry for a second comment, but I had to ask! What format is used to make the 'navigation' portions with the image blocks that pop out? Thanks for your time!

[@shapingshan]

It is a database! I didn’t explain it in the video in full- it’s set to display inline so it can fit within a page, and I have it set to gallery mode and make sure each page has a photo header! ☺️

[@Sayurai91]

@@shapingshan And how did you make it hide the database lines etc.? When I create a database and use gallery mode it still shows the lines between the entries and I can't get the images to be shown fully. Would be awesome to get a notion template for it :)

[@figaeroth]

oh my god, oh my god. i just had this exact same idea the other day! (because i've been watching a *lot* of d&d journal videos, but my primary mode of playing d&d is - digital. so i've been searching for alternatives!) and it's so exciting to see someone else has done this!!!! thank you so much, you don't know how much this has saved me so much trouble
