EXPOSED! Every page of my DM's Book 

With a little luck, this will be found by a future civilization, and they'll think the myths were really real.

I love hearing this guy talk, he's a true RPG lover.

if henry rollins played dungeons and dragons...

man love these older video's.

Minute 12 onwards just knocked me out completely. You hit something deep in me. Thanks brother, you are beautiful soul man!

I myself am not a drinker so when I stumbled across your channel is was rather iffy, but I am glad I subbed. In the few videos I have so far watched I have gained some insight on how to run a game better and how to treat the game world itself. Thank you, and keep on rolling.

Me and my friends are having our 2nd session of DnD ever tomorrow and your videos inspire me to be the best I can be. You seem to be a very passionate person and I truly appreciate that, not many people have that level of passion for something. I've always wanted to play this since I was a child (21 now) and I finally am getting the opportunity. Here's to the future and thanks for your videos they mean a lot.

I love your illustrations and how you're so passionate about this!

This is the first video I saw of yours. Been following you from when you were drunkens & dragons. This is by far the best tome you've shown and the reason I got back into d&d. You show so much investment in your campaign. Then you changed your name and focused on coming up with new games. Miss the tutorials and drunken rambles.

I'm not always sure what I've watched here, but there is gaming insights, philosophical narrative (heartfelt), Limes as currency and sometimes a touch of what I would describe as a touch of Mighty Boosch - like right at the end... It all went a bit 'Howard Moon'. Great stuff.

Man, I really enjoy all your videos, but this one has a special something, thank you so much for all the hard work

I loved taking a look at your DMing journal, man! Very inspirational! I'll probably start doing some stuff like that in my games.

The world map you showed at 1:44 is super awesome! It's very detailed. I don't know if I can become a Dungeon Master since I'm not as artistic as I used to be, but I can try. 🙂 This video inspires me. Thank you. 😊

This deserves more views. WAY more. Good stuff, my man. Roll on. Imagine greatly. And thank you.

This was fun to watch because you were like "and here you can see this thing" and I was like "no I fucking can't it's all blurry and shit" until I realized this is what it feels like playing Drunkens & Dragons, everything's a blur but it's fucking awesome!

To any of the DMs out there looking for inspiration for a challenging session for your players. Canibal forest gnomes. They look cute and cuddly, but then you realize they are intelligent trap makers with the minor illusion cantrip at will. Players get trapped on an island with these things and they will never trust any boulders spot of ground rock wall, barrel of ale again any of them could have a gnome waiting nearby with sharpened teeth waiting to nom some fingers.

Hi, love your videos. This is just a suggestion but your camera is very slow to focus, which can be good but it takes aaaages for the camera to focus on your books or small details that you show the camera. This means we only get a tiny glimpse of the content clear on the screen before you take it away. The slow focus is good so that the depth doesnt jump around, but if you could somehow speed up the transition a little it will help when you show the camera something. Let me know with replies or thumbs if it is just me or if others agree. Cheers mate.

Well done. I have been DM since I was a kid in the 80s. Usually I keep a folder full of this kind of stuff. I never though of just using a premade book or journal to keep each campaign organized. Well done. I plan to start mine tonight. Especially nice for those times when ideas just pop in my head and I can pencil them in and pull from those ideas later. I am subscribing after seeing this vid. Great channel. Also too many times I come across games that are drowned in rules and semantics. It's nice to see other players who understand its about getting together and having fun. Not about following every rule to the tee. Keep up the great work brother.

As a newly d&d player I love seeing how organized you are!! I really hate that you guys don't have over a million subscribers you deserve it! You have encouraged me even more to make more research on characters!

You have some amazing content here, my friend. Absolutely wonderful watching this.

Wow, another video that knocks me over. I too see RPGs as a "cultural movement" as you put it, people want to tell their own stories to their friends and loved ones, or travel table to table to meet other story tellers like the bards of old traveled town to town to bring the news. Good work

I think i should start a book or "tome" of my Dm ideas and story's and crap. Thanks for the video, love your crap!!

Me watching Runehammer videos I have never seen even though I watch Runehammer for 2 years now almost every day 😂

the things i'd do if video games didn't consume me... lots of great content Runehammer.

I really appreciate that tangent at the end. We are the future.

I love your style bro. The artwork and concepts are legit. Keep it up!

12:50 I did something similar, nobody in the party was an elf, so I had it so that the elves disappeared hundreds of years ago and the whole end goal was to find them.

Great content on your channel. This is only my second video and I was compelled to hit the subscribe. Really, just hilarious delivery and also very useful material . Your insights into why we play were very timely for me. I was thinking about that on the commute home from work. I came to the same conclusion that you did.

Man, your group sounds awesome! I love the idea of everyone working together, bound by love and stuff. The group I was in was full of people who had no loyalty, they would attack each other over stupid stuff, and there was one guy who was just a total douche, worst paladin ever.

I am pleasantly surprised every time I watch one of your videos. I wish you lived in the suburbs of Chicago- my weekly group would love to have you guest DM -All the booze you can drink of course! Kidding aside, your artistic talent in your notebook is ...erm...noteworthy. I myself have been playing and DM'ing since high school in the late 80's and into the Marine Corps in the early 90's- yup, I am old. I spend a ton of time on painting the miniatures, and would consider my terrain and props weak. I will use some of your guidance on these to help raise the bar. Keep up the good work, and if you plan on going to GenCon this year- let me know I will buy you a few shots!

Awesome book of knowledge! Awesome background music!

This is kickass. Reminds me of Zak Smith's DnD stuff. What notebook are you using, if you don't mind me asking?

I very much like your approach to your DM book. Mine at the moment is all word processed with hand written notes in a binder but if I took noted like you did with illustrations. Then wow I could finally make my groups adventures into the comic book I would like to make.

Nice to se Alfheim in its' infancy at 1:48. I see Greyhawk in the center of the map.

Dude, do you do any artwork or sell any? Your sketches look really fucking cool

Rewatching some of these older videos because they have awesome tidbits throughout. Like "Boot Myron" lol

So awesome. I hope to propose starting to play D&D with my group of friends soon. You should definitely do some timelapse videos of you building your encounters... just turn the camera on, speed it up and upload. would be so cool to see everything come together.

that guitar solo at the start... masterpiece. rewatch for a few minutes.

That is awesome. I'm really digging your videos, man. Keep it up!

This reminds me of when we finished our 2 year campaign. I let the players look through my GM journal, and their minds blew up at all the details that they never even had a hint at. they though GM'ing a long story was like GM a 1 or 2 episode game.

Hi! I am really appericiating the content on this channel. Most of the time the pages are blurred and it isn't on every page the cam gets time enough to focus. Just to let you know, we are watching closely!

You are an inspiring human being.

I don't comment at all on RU-vid, but you just earned yourself another subscriber. Great content man! I bet you're an awesome DM.

Pocket Featherlight.Halfling Thief.He'll make your pockets light as a feather.2nd level .Poodle,The dandyBARD.Fish stoolford,too old to stand Mage,scoot.Large thing Jim.And so on.

Your recap flow chart has me burning through you videos. This is great. Do you keep a separate note book to record what actually happens in the games?

not a fan of low or realistic fantasy but you and professor DM seem to love it.

I recently discovered your channel and immediately loved it. Congratulations. All of your work (videos, scenarios, drawings, good mood, etc) reveals that you do your best in everything you working on. Besides, I loved the background music. What song is it? I want to use this song in the background of my city in my campaign. Thanks for the tips! Hugs from Brazil.

The last few minutes of this video is the best advice for DnD

Completely awesome bro. Fantastic work.

I'm really impressed with you book of sketches & notes. What Forgotten Realms book is that? I've never seen that cover.

Omg, that's a inspiring video man. Gonna check more of your vids ^^

You are a really talented artist! Very cool book.

Your artistic skill is amazing!!

Your drawings are fantastic bro. I have literally zero artistic ability. I wish I could draw like that!

When you said you were an artist you were absolutely not kidding.

this is my fav video of yours...i decided i want to make a book too...love it! i have kept journals since 1983 and still have them all, but i want a special one to make bits and pieces of a world in...so maybe one day i could have an adventure framework for people too...one question, what goes on in Noop? (1:53)

Wow, I'm stunned this is amazing!!!!!

You should try to do some drawing videos to help people attempt to make stuff that are interesting, and visual aids help a ton.

I really like your drawing style.

Dude... Epic, roll on!

Hank. Can you make the segment of this video from 13:12 to 16:15 into a separate RU-vid video? I would like to share that segment on facebook. I'm stuck on a remote military base on the ends of the earth. I haven't seen my wife and kids (2 and 3 years old) in 3 months and won't make it home for the foreseeable future - due to Corona Virus travel restrictions. Your videos get me through the mornings and my tabletop gaming group gets me through the evenings. Please keep'm coming. Thanks ya Big Ol Bad Ass.

I'd love to know the brand of notebook if possible?

Would have been cool if you would have had secret messages in each frame that you pushed the journal to the screen!

Lets Call this Dm's Tome Of Pride!

dig your art style. Can you give a little back round on yourself, do you work as an artist? How do you balance work /wife/girlfriend with the time you spend crafting and gaming? - thanks,

Chim Richalds lol. A fine homage to the good dr. himself

what a big and long Big Decker u have there

Btw, the music in this one is completely embracing

You know.. I should get myself a notebook and an ink pen too.

Funny yet very educational :D

i guess he didn't get his annotations right

At 8:40 you are talking about Monster A.I., scripting the actions and reactions to situations and such. Do you (or anyone else for that matter) perhaps have that fleshed out somewhere? It sounds like it would give encounters a more organic feel to them and speed them up as well.

Hankerin. Hankerin'? Is the apostrophe needed? I'd hate to mess up the name. Regardless, you're one cool dude. I've been binge watching your videos today, and it makes me desire. Desire to bring something more to the table. Both as a player and a DM. How does it start, though? Do you just raid your next electronic purchase of the styrofoam and start carving? Huh. I think I just answered my own question. Alright. Good talk. Point still stands, you bring awesome inspiration, and I thank you for it.

Don't trust your gut-trust your trust. LOL

Hey brother, I absolutely LOVE your channel! What type of ink pens are using? I'd like to be able to keep a similar account...and I really like the feel you get. Reminds me of old-style fountain pens.

Give me even half of your talent ;_;

Thew island off the side of your map looks very similar to kalimdor lol

Is that the Fiends Folio Tome from 1e I see back on your bookcase?? I still have mine and it's in excellent condition.

My 2 players are new and spoiled little shits so the real life shit, poverty,no work, real life proplems is a life lesson.Thats why I'll use the things your talking about as the storyline as well.You nail this shit man.

Just revisiting this to try and find out what yer favorite pen is. Needle in a haystack. Pens Matter! Frustrated with my current normal.

Hankerin where do you get your inspiration for naming things?

Damn I really wish I could read all the sayings on page 2

Your drawing is great and a little intimidating

looks great. wish i could draw like that

I know this video is from nearly three years ago now, but I've gotta ask: are you, by any chance, a fan of Michael Kirkbride? Your art-style reminds me somewhat of his.

Say man, I noticed you mentioned heading down to Portland, are you in the Pacific Northwest? If so, are you familiar with Odin brewing company? They brew a mean batch.

Awesome videos dude Ive watched all and subbed this hobby has me interested as shit

I recently was inspired and got a fancy-lookin' book (I think it's supposed to be a journal in its intended non-badass use) to put DM notes and stuff for an upcoming campaign in. How the hell do you draw a map across 2 pages like that? Did you draft it on 8.5 by 11 first or just exercise all the caution of a goblin space program and go straight in with the pen and hope you didn't make any mistakes or decide to change stuff later?

cool book

Your art style kinda remember me of Morrowind concept art and i think is freaking awesome. How did learn to draw like this though?

where did you buy that book? I wanna have one like that tooooo

I'm wondering: Your marvelous sketches are made somber or drunken? xP

So far this is the only video of yours that I couldn't finish. Focus too strong.

no idra if this has been answered before, but what do your Rune tattoos say? they weren't ever still long enough for me to read.

Also where did you get that notebook?

fuck yeah jägermeister, grüße aus deutschland

can someone please make a song or remix form this 2:23

How to build a dice set... Coming soon he said.....

You don't happen to live in Arizona do you? I really want to player in your games.

Could you possibly tell us the story of some of your best or worst campaigns?
