[OC] Took our online campaign journal from my players’ ToA campaign and made a book out of it! /u/Insomniacs_Ink DnD: Roll for Initiative!

My players and I started a DND campaign for Tomb of Annihilation back during COVID, and we thought it would be a lot of fun to take what we did in our game sessions and do a “writeup” of the session, complete with cartoony art. This blog campaign has seen my players through Tomb of Annihilation, Descent into Avernus, and now we begin Dungeon of the Mad Mage.

It’s utter nonsense and chaos and exactly the type of shenanigans that exemplifies this game.

After each session, I take what the players did and said (often through notes I type as they interact–i can take dictation pretty fast) then draw silly images of key scenes. I then post them in a blog as a way to create a fond memory that we can always revisit. 95% of the dialogue is word for word what the players are saying.

Well for Christmas I took the first eighteen episodes from the blog and turned them into volume one of our ToA campaign. There are four more volumes… Totallying 180,000 words… 300+ drawings… 600 pages total. I used Lulu to print the books.

And that’s just our first campaign!

I think anyone starting a campaign session would really enjoy documenting their journey this way–even if you just draw stick figures and type five hundred words.

The volume is formatted with the PCs and their bios listed on the back cover, and a new full art cover page drawn for each volume. This one features Eku from ToA enjoying the sunset over Port Nyanzaru.

I can’t really sell these to people–something something IP and something something logistics–but you’re more than welcome to follow our stupid little hijinks on our blog at my website’s Episode List
