Howdy!

Here's a preview of a fun little YouTube video I put together. Enjoy!

If the video is marked "private", that means it's scheduled to go up on YouTube shortly.

Thank you again for your support!

Need to Ponder Your D&D Game? Go for a Walk!

Mike suggests going for a walk to ponder through your D&D game. Often disconnecting is the best way to let your brain explore your campaign and your world.

Thanks for the video, Mike. I've spent a lot of time walking during the pandemic. While I often walk while listening to a podcast - the Lazy DM Talk Show is a go-to, of course! - I think your advice about taking out the headphones is wise. Cutting down on input to process frees up the brain to work on answers to questions more efficiently.

I often think about my game when I'm riding my bike back and forth to work. Great video as always!

I often walk and listen to something. But if I start thinking about my game in depth I stop listening and just walk. I try to do it everyday, it is needed when working from home with a 6 year old doing virtual school for 9 months this past year.

I live 20 miles from anywhere. Literally. In rural Mississippi. Drive time can be very profitable game-pondering time.

Michael Shea

I've definitely found that to be the case. Sometimes I listen to books or podcasts but I try, at least once a day, to have 30 minutes of just me walking.

Sara Shepherd

Thanks for the video! A good reminder to have some "passive" planning time away from the screen/notebook to ponder and let ideas come to you.

There is some reasonable research from Stamford that supports the idea that going for a walk helps with creative thinking (Opprezzo & Schwartz), as well as all kinds of anecdotes from history about how being alone and not thinking about much at all can lead to moments of inspiration. In addition, going for a walk is just good for us. There is a great deal of evidence that supports the claim that walking, and particularly walking in woodland areas, is particularly good for mental wellbeing, not to mention blood-pressure etc.

I love the green-screen in the video. It captures the jungle adventurer metaphor of exploring our fantasy worlds!
