Little glimpse of what I've been working on all day. I've been told countless times I'd be a far more successful YouTuber if I focused on Fantasy TTRPGs instead of Horror and Sci-Fi. Probably true. But those games don't give me sci-fi heroes stranded on a 1950s planet battling robot-zombies. - ThreadSky

This is a reason why I absolutely love your RPG reviews. This just shows a ton of heart and love for the game all summed up in a brilliant recap photo

Honestly it's one of the things that drew me to your channel as a late teenager, and is one of the reasons I have had occasional thoughts of doing Call of Cthullu/Delta Green, or Traveler.

Those Bullet Dice in, I think, best rules to port to other systems were cool as fuck

Play Wildsea so Jack can dress up in a robot spider monkey costume

jim-dawson.bsky.social•23 days ago

Quite right. 😁

The TTRPG fandom needs much more of this level of Roger Corman-ism. Thanks for everything you put into your videos, they're always a breath of fresh air! <3

First seen in highly lethal adventures in the 1930s, and again in the dark future of 2045, and yet despite all this, he’s still in action 2500 years in the future: is Jack the NPC a ghola? 🤔

Somewhere, in a hidden vault, there is a portrait of Jack, hideous with age, riddled with wounds and diseases.... Beside a cask of Amontillado.

Fantasy RPGs don't get weird enough anymore. So much possibility, but it too often either devolves into watered down Tolkien or some generic steampunk cliche.

The thing I love about your content is that you’re not just another dungeon tuber. Sing whatever song makes your weird little heart happy.

I cannot wait to see this episode

awsmd.bsky.social•23 days ago

And, I mean, if that's already the theme of the gear you have lying around the house... :)

sskorkowsky.bsky.social•23 days ago

That was a serious plus

jason-mythforged.bsky.social•12 days ago

Honestly, I doubt it. That market is saturated and people like me don't even click on those folks (Matt Coville, Ginny D, and Bob World Builder are my only exceptions). We NEED YOU! lol.

vormaerin.bsky.social•23 days ago

Well, I for one am glad you focus on other games. Since the only fantasy game I do to any significant degree is Ars Magica. Which, afaik, doesn't get any youtube action :D

thiseffingm.bsky.social•23 days ago

I focus on fantasy and I have almost no success so you do you my dude

cybersmily.bsky.social•23 days ago

I prefer you presenting the other genres of TTRPGs for those of us who aren't playing D&D or one of its derivatives. Fantasy is flooded and overcrowded. Besides you are a successful YouTuber compared to the vast majority of TTRPG channels out there. Hell, companies are using your NPCs in products ;)

donovanl.bsky.social•23 days ago

Sounds rad. I'm in.

balthazar3827.bsky.social•23 days ago

Everybody does fantasy, which means you stand out.

durugai.bsky.social•23 days ago

I watch for a mix of you being great and you explicitly doing very little fantasy/D&D focused content. There is SO much of it out there. I love your unique perspectives and showing us other games and scenarios. Keep on keeping on!

sskorkowsky.bsky.social•23 days ago

Few weeks back I was doing an interview with someone gathering info on the industry. He mentioned how my perspective was very different than the majority of people he'd already spoken to. I suggested it was due to my playing things that were far outside the D&D-sphere and seeing things from there

modhail.bsky.social•23 days ago

Without you, my friends and me wouldn't have discovered Traveller. And there are thousands of Fantasy TTRRP-Tubers already.
You have your own voice and your own, unmistakable charm.

wordfault.bsky.social•13 days ago

I love your reviews for the detailed advice and practical advice. You are the reason I bought Mongoose Traveller (I got burned by Megatraveller many years ago) and Murder on Arcturus station. I also like your analyses of old D&D modules, they are a useful perspective on GMing.
