This is great, thank you. I definitely picked up a couple tips that I can use.

Gustavo Campanelli

nice, I normally bring my dice, extra fudge dices if I'm gming fate for the players, my notes on the phone with campaign logger, some blank characters sheets and plain paper for notes an ocasional sketchy drawings/maps.

Stashravens

I like it. Maybe a "The DMG is underrated" is a good video topic?

Victor Navone

Where does Notion fit into this? Are you bringing a laptop too, or just running it off your phone? Do you ever print out your Notion session notes?

Michael Shea

I actually printed my Notion notes yesterday and that worked fine! I exported my notes to PDF and the. Printed them two pages per sheet horizontally and two-sides so I only needed one sheet of paper. It worked well.

Dan Ebert

100% agree. People bash on it for opening with multiverses and pantheons - admittedly intimidating - but otherwise it has very useful content.

Michael Shea

Yeah, I bash it for starting out with the multiverse and pantheons but it still has a lot of great inspirational and table-usable material in there. It's just not good at teaching people how to DM.

Stashravens

In D&D Next - they briefly talked about "tools for the DM" and such - and I always felt that is where they are lacking the most. Also haven't seen much in the way of official guidance in this regard. Their adventures certainly lack in this area. Give me the old Adventure Builders Guidebook type of sourcebook... But - I guess if they did all that - I may not have ever stumbled on the Lazy DM! :)
