This is a REUPLOAD! Long story short, something frankly weird and disheartening happened with youtube last week. Reuploading is one hell of a gamble, but I want to at least give this video a real chance. <b>If you’ve already seen this video when it first came out, I’d love it if you still stuck around, played it for your cat, or sent it to a friend.</b><br>Big thank you to all of you who have been hella kind and sweet through this week of ups and downs, and to Homie and the Dude being so supportive and helpful through it. If you want to give them some love, go give them a visit! The link to Scorched Basin and the free sample PDF is in the description!

I love how even when she is in a gritty soldier costume, Val's eyeliner is still perfect

I'm sure you've been told this hundreds of times, but I'll say it again. You have a great style, presentation and interesting material. Thanks to these videos, my games have become more interesting! ❤❤❤

I commented it on the original and I'll comment on the reupload because its true: "Stakes so high they're in melee range with the starts" is a sick as fuck line

Your lighting, editing, set design, wardrobe, and dialogue are just incredible. Apex level. You can't see us cause we're bowing down!

I like it. I always say "5 things to do and only time for 3" and start counting down when the players take too long thinking about it.<br>I design TTRPG systems that purposefully reduce time and cut to the quick of ACTION. I want role-playing to be as REAL-TIME as I can possibly make it. Before I game master a session, I nap or mediate, collecting my own thoughts and imagining which hazards, gags, and gotchas that I can unleash on my players. After a session, I'm wiped out... REALLY happy, but completely wasted. This is the stuff of epic adventures. Yes, I've been doing this for 48 years.

So, as I was saying in the comments of the first version of this video, and because a joke is never as fun as when you tell it a second time in front of thousands of strangers: your videos are already cool enough, you didn't have to drag Indiana Jones into this. Leave some coolness for the rest of us!

Good guy Youtube decided to illustrate your point, by showing you a cool action scene of you going full time with videos, where it then disrupted your decision making process by introducing new variables halfway through like not showing your videos to anybody. So, do you feel like an action hero yet? :D

This video was so good, it <b>should</b> have two uploads! I'm sure YT simply couldn't handle its awesomeness.

Worth a rewatch to hear you say "characters" one more time, that's what I subscribed for :)

I don't normally like to comment on ad segments, but the bit about the guitar weapon with its Face-melting Solo ability being "your jam" was excellent wordplay that needed to be shouted out.
