  • There are two YouTubes. One is the “creator” YouTube, algorithms, numbers blah blah

    The other is the actual content creator YouTube. These are the channels that people actually follow. If captain disillusion set up his own RSS feed for videos, and I had the method to subscribe to it, I’d no longer need YouTube

    The argument that YouTube has the algorithm and recommendations etc is moot, that’s the same job that every network does, you could absolutely replace this

    The video content would have to be self hosted probably. How it used to be. So we need all these tools to eat YouTube’s lunch










  • From my limited investigations, I think the modern version from Mongoose is the one to go with

    The character generation system is amazing but from my POV its a bit Star Trek instead of Star Wars or the expanse, if that makes sense?

    My only experience of it is listening to bits of it on the Glass Cannon so I may have a skewed perspective





  • Right on. I listened to a bit of the rppr play through of it and it sounded quite cool. I’m not a huge fan of their play style but they’re obviously one of the biggest names out there for DG content. I just find the BRP engine and it’s derivatives so fluid, and definitely prefer running non fantasy games. Hopefully will get to do a lot more in 24!


  • I played a decent amount of 1 on 1 Mork Borg and Death in Space this year. Great for quick one shots

    Finally ran Delta Green for the first time but just as a one off quick game, playing through Last Things Last in about 2-3h, introducing a brand new player to RPGs in general. Went great.

    I’m putting off reading the campaign book for DG Impossible Landscapes because I’m enjoying the actual play on the glass cannon too much and I don’t want to spoil it for myself

    Only managed a couple of sessions of 5e this year, I’m not that jazzed to run it so waiting for my players to be interested! It might never get picked up which I’m fine with.
