Next video is up and ready to go live tomorrow!

Videos will be infrequent this year as I focus on other life goals but I'm still going. Lots to do!

I'm afraid no video this week, I've been busy with life and preparing my card game for submitting to a competition.

The undead video is next and I am aiming for the second week in feb

Next class video will be out this week!
And I'm hoping to get the undead video out before the end of the month too but that might be a push.

Ever wondered what Balance even means?
Well I have a go at defining it and hopefully share some useful ideas about it in my latest video!

Well I finally got the video finished and will go live tomorrow afternoon. It's a big one!

I'm really hoping to get this big video finished today, and the art for the second is in so that one might be sorted next week.

My goal is both out before end of year!

In the meantime my channel has seen another small boost in the algorithm so I am just 8 subs off 1k!

Fingers crossed these videos take me over the edge ๐Ÿคž

Realise it's been a little while since my last video.

I've got two videos in the works at the moment, one is waiting for the artwork and the other is gonna be a chonker of a vid so is taking a little longer, but I'm really pleased with how it's going so far, I think it's one of my best video essays

Combat shouldn't be as simple as "swing sword until win", so what tools do players have to be creative and overcome challenges?!

Find out in my latest video about the Verve Combat system!

Wooo!
Just crossed 900 subs, there is a real chance of hitting 1k before the end of the year which would be cool.

D&D's Flaws make it Good? YouTube video by The Verve

I've had some thoughts about the strengths of D&D... But could it's flaws be one of them?

Managed to get the video finished in time! Will be out later today...

Proper little discussion video about D&D.

It's gonna be an interesting one to see what the response is I think haha

Hopefully I should have something for next week!

TCS Live Stream: Death Mechanics | Part 1 YouTube video by Tales from Elsewhere

A while back @talesfromelsewhere.bsky.social and Odin's Key Gaming ran a community spotlight where people from their discord communities discussed their TTRPG's death mechanics, it's a great resource!

This video has one of my best view-to-like ratios in a while which is really nice to see as it's some of my favourite worldbuilding I've done so far for the Verve.

If you haven't seen it yet I'd love you to check it out ๐Ÿ˜‰

Saw this on @masteringdnd.bsky.social and knew it was immediately something I would be into, I have my own plans for something like this specifically for the Verve ๐Ÿ‘€

Really excited to find out what @runicpressgames.com have put together here!
