Thank you. I wish I could be more active on here right now.
Things have been stupidly busy lately, but I'll be back at it as soon as I can.
(It will be difficult for this to be before the new year, which I feel terrible for, but that's just how the cookie is crumbling. Difficult, but not impossible, hopefully...)
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Through a Gamer's Lens
I take a look at a Mark Twain classic and discuss ways it can be mined for good gaming inspiration.

I will be following this with great interest indeed.
Wraith holds an enticing and broad spread of possibilities in the stories it can tell, and I'm really curious to see where you folks take it.
Many of those possibilities can be far from obvious to someone at first glance, so I can see this being a very valuable set of recaps. I'm glad to see this being done!

The warning is much appreciated, Brady. =)
I don't know what the odds are of me being first commenter on your next post, but that's mainly due to me not having a great deal of free time at all this month.
Given the video the Gent just posted though... I'll be certain to check when I can.

Thank you very, very much.
Time has made it difficult to keep at this over the past while, but it hasn't eroded my want to continue.
Sorry things have been taking a while, but rest assured, when I do find time to put more up, I'll still be me, and my motivations will be the same.
Thanks for the support and patience!
Hammered's RPG Community Rant - Video Response (shaken, off-the-cuff)

Unfortunately things have become a bit less predictable that way. Work and personal things have been keeping things busy for a while, and to be honest, the darker days where I live have been taking a bit of a toll on my energy.
I've got a bunch of videos I want to make, it's just a matter of having free time and energy synch up. Thank you for continuing to follow the channel though...
I'll certainly be making videos again, but it won't happen with any regularity for a while, it seems.

Cool stuff! Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it for most d20-related purposes. It's not terribly expensive either, and my gaming groups have often been able to get away with using the other side of a sheet in conditions where we can still see the grid lines through the paper. (Which makes a pad last longer. If one tends to whip up spur-of-the-moment incidental maps, it's good to be able to cut down a bit on waste.)

That clock is glorious.
You've got a pretty splendid collection of shells and rocks here, too.
I've got to echo Joonas and Ander, man - it would be awesome to see more of your drawings (and those sweet maps!), especially with their context within your games shared at the same time.
Cool, cool stuff.
I've done some drawings for my games at different times, but not nearly as much as I should have, and from the looks of it, not as often as you do.

Devon, I am shaking with agreement.
I'm really hoping a fresh tide of positivity rolls into the community soon.
Some things lately have left me genuinely stressed out... and it's silly, because we're all just a bunch of people getting together to talk about games.
This hobby is supposed to be fun, and an escape.
If I feel a cascade of dread run through me while listening to someone passionately intone pointed darkness and vitriol, I'd prefer it were because they're running a horror game.
Some Thoughts On the Hobby, and Where We Need To Take It

No, I haven't yet. I've mostly been buying from my friendly local game store lately.
There are a few books I've been considering on DTRPG though.
When I'm feeling flush with cash again perhaps I'll put in another order.
How are you liking New Wave Requiem? I've never seen any colour PoD books in person.
