Disc Bound Lazy DM Template
I have mentioned many times how much I love the Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master by Mike Shea, what I probably haven’t mentioned is how much I also love the Campaign Planner and Journal from the Rook and Raven. Their disc bound journals are beautiful and amazing. Their latest Kickstarter however was for a print on demand service, which got me thinking, could I make my own pages? It turns out I could. The Campaign planner is half a legal sized piece of paper (8.5″ x 7″) and the Campaign Journal is half a letter sized piece of paper (8.5″ x 5.5″). So I started googling around looking for disc bound accessories, boy that’s a rabbit hole.
I decided I wanted to make some Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master Campaign and Session planning worksheets. I got a disc punch, a paper cutter, and some legal printer paper. I could not find high quality legal sized paper, so I have to use regular 20lb paper, which isn’t ideal, but it works well enough. I then made the templates and figured out how to put them onto a single legal sheet of paper so that it would print out right. Which took some trial and error. If your printer can double size a legal sheet of paper you will be in much better shape than me. I have to print all of the odd sides and then all of the even sides. Once I print out the pages, I find the center of the long size, on each side of the paper, at 7″ and cut the paper. Then I arrange the pages in order and punch them. The punch I use is a Create 365 punch I got at Michaels. The discs are about the same size as the Rook and Raven’s and the holes are spaced at 1″, which works. I just had to figure out exactly where the bottom punch had to be. Then I put a bit of tape on the punch to mark where to line up my paper.
In any case, I’m making the template available to you. The file is available in LibreOffice/OpenOffice format, I tried saving it in Word format, but it told me there were some incompatibilities, so I didn’t. I don’t have Word to verify the format, if you port the template over to Word, let me know how it goes. The idea is that you can add some inspirational images to the first page and then print out the pages. The pages are paired 1-2, 3-4, etc. so you probably don’t want to print pages 2-3, that wouldn’t make sense. I’ll probably update the files periodically as I work on and use them. I have also put the file in PDF format, but that won’t allow you to edit the first page.

GM Resources for Conan
I have updated my Conan playmat and created an improved character sheet. The character sheet does some really good things for new players. First of all, skills are listed alphabetically. Second, skills are noted as either mental or physical in the unfortunate event that a character gets a wound or trauma. Skills are also labeled as skilled or not, and the final note at the bottom is what happens when you roll a 19 or 20 and how to get extra successes when you roll under your Focus for the skill.
I actually play tested all of this at the local game store one Friday night while my son played Warhammer. I had a group of 5 totally novice to Conan players and they managed to figure it all out and were pretty proficient by the end of the night.
Hopefully, you find them useful.
