I have countless small notebooks with scrawled esoteric diagrams and all sorts of stream of consciousness ramblings written in them. #USING FREEMIND FOR FREE#Subscribe to our blog via RSS feed or signup for free Campaign Mastery email update alerts.Ģ0 Responses to “FreeMind Tips for Game Masters” What about you? Do you use mindmapping? Have any FreeMind tips?ĭon’t miss any game master tips and advice. Go to Preferences > Behavior > Selection Method. As maps grew I found I had to weave in and out with my mouse carefully or accidentally select nodes, but choosing By Click fixed this. I found it difficult to work this way and prefer, when not using the keyboard, to select nodes with a mouse click. FreeMind installed by default for me with node selection via mouseover. Change selection method preference to By Click.Use SPACE to toggle nodes on and off quick. For example, only open the node you are working in and leave the others closed. Toggle nodes on and off (open / close) to make the view simpler to look at and digest.Use the linking feature to hook two related nodes together (click on one and get taken to the other – great for huge maps), link to files, link to your campaign website, link to DDI and other online references, and so on. Other options include image maps, JPG, SVG, and PDF! A great method is to export your maps to HTML for posting on your blog, website, or wiki. I found with my Carnus campaign that I had more blue than yellow, more yellow than red. It also creates a neat metric: what is the balance of alignments in your cast of NPCs. This simplifies your mindmap (one less node for each NPC, one less word per NPC). For example, give NPCs red, blue, and yellow bg colours for evil, good, and neutral alignments. Use node background colours to communicate more at a glance.Paste or write all the details you want here. There’s no shortcut for this unfortunately. Just keep creating new nodes as required and then organize them later. Don’t let mousing slow your flow of ideas. Use INSERT key to create a child node.You could mouse around, and maybe I’m old school, but my vote is don’t make my hands leave the keyboard until necessary. ![]()
