I’m launching my new Youtube channel today. The first video is Advanced Gamemastery: Mysteries in RPGs, looking at the Three Clue Rule.
The original Three Clue Rule essay was written in 2008. Revisiting the material today in this new format was interesting, allowing me a chance to incorporate some new thinking on the topic and also clarify some of my older ideas.
Going forward, the plan for the Youtube channel is to do more video essays while also beginning to explore unique content that’s only possible in a video format (including a project known as Short Shots™). The Alexandrian you know and love isn’t going anywhere, either: While videos will allow me to reach out to a new audience and do new things, there are still lots of big ideas and tools that are best suited for the essays we all know and love here on the site.
If all goes according to plan, I’ll have a new video for you next week about the Goblin Ampersand. If you want to know what that’s all about, make sure to subscribe!
… okay, I know it’s a cliche, but in all seriousness: Particularly for a brand new channel, it would make a HUGE difference if you take the time to like, comment, and subscribe. That engagement will help push the video out to a wider audience.
Good gaming! And I’ll see you at the table!
You have a far more impressive beard than my readings had led me to assume!
I like your blog a great deal, but I’m sorry to say I won’t be watching your Youtube videos because that is simply Not My Thing. I wish you best of luck with it.
Congratulations on the new channel 🙂
Are you planning on editing or posting current thoughts on the articles as you revisit them? Since they’re so important, it might be nice to keep them polished that way.
Liked, subscribed and shared with my friends. You are my favorite DM tips writer and this is a great new format. Looking forward to watch new episodes.
Putting that stage experience to good use.
Thanks for recording this; you’re a good presenter. Those ring lights make your eyes look like cyberpunk implants though. Not that that’s a bad thing…
Amazing video! Really well presented and with great pacing, keep it up!
I know you are planning new content for the videos, but it would be awesome if you could do a series of videos based on the node-based scenario design articles as well =)
