After Action – Mothership

October 24th, 2025

Mothership - After Action Report

I’ve just released the first exclusive video for Alexandrite members of the Alexandrian Youtube channel.

This is an after action report from a session of my Mothership open table. I’m planning to do more of these in the future, offering a sneak peek into what’s going on at my gaming table in (almost) real time.

We’ll be unlocking even more exclusive video content when we hit 30 members!

Alexandrites on Youtube are helping to get my editors and other team members paid, which is what makes all the awesome video content we do over there possible! I’m super grateful to everyone who supports the Alexandrian — whether that’s as a Youtube member, a patron on Patreon, or buying one of my books. And my team also thanks you!

Alexandrian Youtube Memberships!

September 28th, 2025

Alexandrite Youtube Members Loyalty badges, emotes, Alexandrian Discord+, Members-only shorts, Members-only videos ... and more!

If you’ve been looking for a way to support the Alexandrian without using Patreon — or if you just want your support to be focused on producing more (and better!) Youtube videos — then you should become a Member of the Alexandrian Youtube channel.

I’m launching our membership program today. In addition to loyalty badges, emotes, and Alexandrian Discord+ access, once we have 30 members we’ll begin producing member-exclusive Youtube Shorts. At 100 members, we’ll begin producing full-length members-only videos, starting with the completion of the long-awaited D&D 1974 retrospective series.

Projects like this are, in fact, exactly why I’ve decided to start a Youtube Membership program. There are a lot of cool Youtube projects I want to tackle, but which are prohibitively complicated and expensive. To make them a reality, I need to be able to expand how many hours per month my team can dedicate to Alexandrian videos.

For just $5 a month, you can become an Alexandrite and get all the benefits above. Producers willing to chip in $20 per month will get extra perks, including onscreen credit in the videos and early access to new videos.
