Love the video. So many people just lecture on how you should run sandbox with high level concepts...so few show how. Idea for a next video, how do you prep with example of the material you produce. This is so useful!

Thank you! I try to do a mix of concepts (with examples) and then some actual prep style videos.

I don't want to hear about the Notion program unless you get paid for it. Get that money.

I personally use Obsidian for keeping track of my campaigns and settings. It's like Notion with a lot more customizability. Thousands of plugins, a ton of themes, and you can always make your own plugin if you're a programmer. I think it's very important for your notes to last longer than the service or application you're using. When Obsidian stops being supported, I still have all my notes readable and usable, since it's all written in the fairly universal Markdown format. In a few updates it'll be much like Notion out-of-the-box, but for now all you need are the Dataview and DB folder plugins to make it almost identical to Notion. Also, this is helpful! I'm working on my first sandbox setting, so your videos have been very useful.

I just found your stuff today and have since watched pretty much all of it and subcribed. Your videos are well written, easy to understand, and address the nuts and bolts of running games that most advice videos gloss over. Thank you for making these. You're the man, Randall!

I tend to co-create a setting with my players to fill in the "Knowns" of the setting. As we create, the players develop their characters and visualize their goals and motives in this world. My players are proactive. They are not the types of players that sit back and have the GM do everything for them. (my players are vetted) I'll be making a video on sandboxing (without finding ways to railroad/multi-choice the players, as you are technically suggesting in this video)

I've tried using notion but bounced off because I didn't find it especially intuitive, I would love to see how you structure your world building on that platform!

Yes please, make a video on Notion. Good video. As a DM getting back into gaming after a long hiatus this helps a lot.
@aidendon41274 ай бұрын
Thank you for making such a detailed yet clear examination of your process. I may not be ready to implement a sandbox game as a first time DM, however, you are heavily influencing how I approach the game conceptually. I look forward to implementing your advice in my current game, and eventually transitioning to the more challenging sandbox style in the future. I greatly appreciate your instructional videos. Kudos to you, sir.

I would actually love to see what you've done with Notion. I picked up Sly Flourish' Notion setup and I've been tinkering (poorly) with it since to get it where it's as streamlined as possible for me. I think the process of doing that is actually been pretty good for my prep streamlining. Things like, what is a good rhythm for me to get everything I need covered, what do I actually - Actually - need? That sort of thing. I'd love to swap campaign setups for notion with other DMs.

Is there a chance of you doing a notion video? I'm getting started working with it using the lazy dm template but I'm finding it difficult and I don't think that template is working for my style. I would greatly appreciate seeing how you do it as your content seems to stick better in my head.

With your method of building a sandbox, is it possible to get started on the left foot instead of the right?
