Happy Halloween to all who celebrate! I've been thinking about doing a multi-system review; I'm particularly drawn to games that do something exciting, unique, or masterful, and I'm thinking about tossing all my favourite mechanics into one video as a "Check out this awesomeness!" primer. Thoughts?

With how many isolated ideas I come up with but don't have a surrounding framework to slot into, you would think I would start to note them down in a big "Ideas" folder already for future use. However, the twist: I have done so. Many times. I just keep forgetting it's there and not using it. T_T

This is one of the biggest and first tips I teach anyone I see trying to get into GMing— it's a healthy, more absolute extension of the more general, more malleable "Don't tell the players what their characters do.".

Welcome back to "So You Want to Make an RPG?"! This episode: Burnout, scope creep, and how to actually achieve something! Really proud of both this video and the system behind it, Expeditions RPG, which I hope to release at some point before I die of old age~ youtu.be/LWr9qoK6kIU

Guess who just finished the first playtest session of its new TTRPG system??? Meeeeeee!! :33 Even better? It actually played well on a first draft-- Holy shit I did not expect that. I'm gonna try to get a video out on this at some point.

I GM'd #Lancer for the first time! Come check out how it went! #ttrpg #CampaignDiary www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT26...

Hey hey! I decided to sit down and put out whatever I got for my Starfinder 2e review 'cause I've been majorly stalling on it. It's been a difficult one to put together because I'm not one to be negative, but I have a lot of issues with the system and felt I need to share. youtu.be/2lWQd94eIR0

I don't know that this is fair— discussing design incentives in a game doesn't automatically then include an opinion about people who play the game. Minecraft's design incentivises you to rush endgame. That doesn't mean everyone does or that those who don't are playing wrong, but it's still a fact.

I wanted to add an addendum and unofficial third segment to "The Good" and "The Bad", called "The Contrary"; comebacks to common criticisms I've seen levied at the game that I disagree with. I'll add more as I see fit, but here's two to kick it off.

I'm almost all of the way through Silksong, and I figured I'd post my own mini-review, because I've been seeing a lot of (what i feel to be) unfair backlash to the game, something I want to vocalise my own pushback against.

I've got a couple projects brewing— I have some Pathfinder and Starfinder stuff to catch up on, and then I was recently exposed to HOLLOWS, a game with some extremely fun mechanics I want to talk about! I inquired about the prospect of a review copy so I can put out something early, so stay tuned!

Check out the Magic+ expansion, Even More Magic! I was a writer on this project, and everyone's contributions are amazing- my personal highlights are: - Essence Oracle~ - Aspect Summoner~ - Tons of Illusion spells~ - And my lightning Caller archetype! www.pathfinderinfinite.com/product/5314...

Uploading and processing, should be up ~3 hours from post time- check out Magic+ with me! A third party expansion to magic in Pathfinder 2e. I've been on the playtest team for this and excited to share it for quite a while! Summons, resourceless casting, and archetypes oh my~! youtu.be/gaTbgY3dH8Q

Status update: I have a Battlecry!, Starfinder 2e Player Core, and a couple other videos in the works. I was hoping to get some of them recorded this week, but I've been sicker than a dog for going on 8 days now, and I'm only just starting to get my voice back. So, look forward to those! xoxo

A grand return! No promises I'll be sticking to a schedule anymore, but I don't want to turn into one of those creators who uploads once a year. Check out Mothership with me! I've been branching back into the narrative RPG space and really enjoying it. youtu.be/Fg2CNGhP42c

It's real! I might take a couple days to actually put this out, depending on when I can fit the time in, but I properly sat down and recorded something usable for the first time in almost 3 months. I can't wait to release it for yall. Hope you missed me~

Should be a new video within about a month— I have something exciting I want to share, but I unfortunately have to keep it under wraps for now~ In the meantime, take this photo. Thanks everyone!

I actually suggest doing this in my series on how to make an enjoyable boss— I've found the sweet spot is to have extra high AC and saves for a creature of party level, average offensive options 3-4 levels higher, and about 50% more HP than recommended. More here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi7H...

New video! Who said dropping weekly uploads meant I would disappear forever? Mechanic and Technomancer are very interesting classes that seem to both have some small holes- But let's hear your thoughts! youtu.be/51WLC7oZcHY

Hey everyone! I think I have to make the call— no more regular schedule for my videos. Weekly was fun and possible for a while, particularly when I was able to just focus on my art. It gave me a schedule and an outlet. But now it's weighing on me like an obligation.

Won't be able to get a video together until at least Saturday! Don't be surprised when noon rolls around today.

Check out my build & tactics for @skoll-veneon.bsky.social's excellent Gauntlight Tournament Invitational series in my latest video, released on time today! Optimisation thoughts for lower level characters, and general tactics overview all in a tight package. youtu.be/WibG4hVmtcY

Me, right now

And thanks for the wait! Welcome back to the Grand Tournament! Kicking it off strong with some spiky contenders- who will go on to round 3 and who will fall by the wayside? Excited to get back into this series and whittle down who's really the... strongest? Luckiest? Hah! youtu.be/S--NSBpGnWk

In a startling turn of events, local YouTuber releases video a day late— (the youtuber is me. need a bit more time for this one. look forward to it~)

@lexchxn.bsky.social vs Max

Triangle Agency S&P is currently analysing the full review to ensure it is up to company standards. We thank you for your patience! In the meantime, enjoy this simple review of a physical product from a recent corporation acquisition. youtu.be/pph2nhqClQg

A new video : youtu.be/yQXhBZP9g_0 And a new homebrew supplement alongside it! : www.pathfinderinfinite.com/product/5160... Balanced magic users without using scrolls? I have a few big things cooking, including a new system review and PGT (Pathfinder Grand Tournament) Season 2, so stay tuned!

Only a couple hours late, but on the right day! Check out what YOUR spellcasters can do today! Jokes aside, I think people undervalue what a spellcaster can provide to a party even without being involved in combat at all; this is meant to show that off. youtu.be/lTGSMWFfHkY

100% I'll add that declaring your character's intended result of that action is equally important. If the GM knows what the player is hoping to accomplish, it's far more probable to happen and also not cause confusion of intent.

And we're back! This Season 1 Finale of the Pathfinder Grand Tournament has Monk, Commander, Rogue, and Swashbuckler bringing this first round of fights to a close- eager to spend a couple weeks releasing other projects before getting into Season 2! youtu.be/09Ye0ZgHM6I

I've always disliked the implication in " #fix-a-feat " that the original writer's design is shoddy/wrong— So I'll be tagging this and future feats with #pathfinder-rework; This is my rework of the Force Barrage spell, with particular attention paid to multi-action versatility and full-game fun. 🧵

Hey what's up! New video's out, and I mention at the end but figure I should toss in here- No videos (at least promised videos) for the next two weeks (through the 28th)- I'm moving, so it's a big hassle to get these together. See you in the next one! youtu.be/AWese8iuWiU

I forgot to announce it yesterday, but I will likely not get a video out at all this week— I'm in the middle of a move, and things are a bit difficult to fit in already. I'll still try to get something together, just late. Thanks everyone.

In the final steps of uploading now, this week we have Inventor and Psychic facing off against Guardian and Runesmith! Four enter, two will leave- We're getting close to the end of season 1 as well! Looking forward to the ever-narrowing pool. youtu.be/P5jzT6PPOlA

Apologies for such short notice everyone— today's video will probably be delayed by anywhere from a few hours to a day. Thanks for your patience!

Check out this excellent new video by my peer, @skoll-veneon.bsky.social! It's all about re-tooling the Abomination Vaults AP into several different stories, modes of play, tiers of play, and even Starfinder 2e. Inspirational, and fun to imagine even without actually running. youtu.be/T8pfwR1R0JM

We're slowly but surely making our way towards the second round of the tournament! This week, wizard & summoner face off against champion & necromancer. Enjoy! youtu.be/a1ZIz8PoZCM

Hello everyone— serious message here. I try to keep real-life politics off my channel and other socials. I like my art being a place people don't have to worry about anything other than fantasy. It will remain that way, going forward. But... [1/3]

Episode 3 of the Pathfinder 2e Grand Tournament! We're on a roll here- Look out for that Barbarian! youtu.be/POnW6i1PzyU

I've been considering putting together a full system review for Pathfinder 2e, what with my immense, longstanding, and extensive experience with it. But for now I want to talk about what I view ad one of the biggest flaws it has. It's been on my mind for months, but it's front and center now.

Episode two! And only two and a half hours late?!?! What will this YouTuber think of next? Enjoy the fight, guys. It was... Decisive. youtu.be/aywtV-ZgzX0

Video will likely be coming out a little later than usual this week— It's been a real busy one! Should still come out Friday, maybe Saturday.

Episode 1 of every class in Pathfinder 2e duelling to the death in pairs! Disclaimers about skewed results in the video aside, this series is one I've put a ton of work into and I hope everyone enjoys! youtu.be/OPNQeDpKnnU

AD&D 1e is the only version of D&D that actually has its shit together. Every other version has some major disconnect between what it's trying to do and what it actually does (if it's even trying to do anything at all) borne of lack, incompetence, or bloat.

Alright, basically all but unrelated to the original post, I want to talk about "race" in TTRPGS. [1/5]

Late upload (for reasons I cover in the video), but here's my Year in Review for 2024! It's been a crazy year for my art, thank you all for being here. youtu.be/-GkCCwKN8fU

Happy new year everyone. Channel update coming this week, then back to our regularly scheduled programming. Here's to many more!

Draw Steel! has some really great ideas in it— I'm looking forward to getting more time to dig in tomorrow. Check it out here: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...
