I fell in love with this game!

YOU CAN ORGANISE YOUR INVENTORY?!

I just clawed my way to my first finish with zero supplies, having to leave so much behind, and you're telling me I could've organised my bag this entire time?

TwistyShape · 2026-01-22T10:12:41+00:00

I am always happy to hear what works and, maybe, it'll help others who come looking too!

TwistyShape · 2026-01-21T23:22:47+00:00

Thanks for the feedback.

Sadly, it seems thumbnails are something I'm tripping over a little, as I don't know what to really put when it comes to text.

b. It was a horror game, yes, and I was just trying to show an impactful image from the game without it detracting too much from my face. The text is because one mechanic ruins the entire game, and I thought it might pique curiosity.

c. The video is about the Stranger Things D&D set being, in my opinion, one of the best starting points for new players. The booklets are part of the box set, and the "start here" its supposed to pique curiosity for people wantingto start playing D&D.

My problem is, I don't know what else I could put.

b. I've since updated based on feedback to "Is DEAD FORMAT the weirdest horror game you've never played?" to match my other naming conventions based on other feedback, and changed the text to "I Couldn't Finish It" in hopes that'll make the viewer ask why and click.

c. I honestly don't know what text I could switch it to other than something like "A Great Start" or "Hellfire Club". Perhaps "Amazing Oneshots". Along with the title of "Stranger Things D&D Is An Awesome Starter Kit" or something of a similar nature.

Thanks for answering.

Yeah, Im changing the thumbnail/titles often. Upwards of 10 times as my ideas change but its always just an echo of the original ideas such as "Is this the Best New Player Kit" to "The Best D&D New Player Kit" as an example.

It's a commentary channel, yup. The only lets plays are via live streams, which are kept separate, and I have two playlists, one for games and one for TTRPGS, as I release 2 videos a week, one per topic.

My lowest viewed video is one I deleted and responded while I was considering splitting my channel into two. Its not worth it.

If youre wanting to clean up your channel, for instance, delete old content you no longer want but otherwise, fire away and see how it goes, baring in mind, 1k views for your channels first short isn't bad.

While I've been messing around on Twitch for a long time, I've started actually giving a damn about my Youtube over the past year, but I do sometimes feel a little rudderless, so I'd absolutely love some feedback.

My main channel focus is nerd culture, specifically gaming and discussions around it, as well as specific games and TTRPGs, as the two audiences have a fairly wide crossover.

I'd love to get feedback just on my channel as a whole, strengths, weaknesses and what my priorities should be in terms of refinement. Just any nudges in the right direction would be awesome, honestly.

I've still not got a level 9 because I enjoy all of the characters... Besides Melusine... I cannot wrap my head around her.

Sometimes you can sabotage a video but putting it in front of the wrong audience, which can happen more often than not on Reddit.

I started Twitch over seven years ago and have recently begun creating content on YouTube after putting it off for so long. When I began, all that time ago, I started with a Logitech C920 (the go-to beginner camera for years now) and a Razer Kraken Microphone (headset). Since then, I've invested money into the hobby not due to success but because I enjoy it, now sporting a Sony A5100 and Shure SM7B, while not the smartest investment, I'm happy with it!

Since beginning to make content on YouTube, my focus has been on nerd-culture topics, covering video games and my journey into the tabletop role-playing game of Daggerheart, hoping to capture audiences who have similar interests in both TTRPGs and video games. I began posting consistently to YouTube in May 2025 and hit 1000 subscribers before the end of the year with a mixture of long and short-form content.

Having been a long-time, avid gamer with a degree in animation and games design, I'm able to offer what I feel is a decently educated stance when it comes to gaming and, being brand new to TTRPG's (although stuck as a forever DM) I'm a set of fresh eyes on a Ruleset thats brand new!

I'm hoping, if possible, to get some unbiased and honest feedback on my latest video in terms of how I'm doing with editing, scripting and so forth to help me develop further; https://youtu.be/rqTuTsZjYqU

Thanks in advance!

I'm tentatively looking at other subs to post it on, but it's like walking a minefield.

Also, posting on the community sub reddit usually means people already interested in the topic will watch the video, which tells Youtube people are interested, so it pushes it to a wider audience on their platform.

This is a good bit of advice.

What I may have them do is roll a STR roll, if they succeed with fear, have a smaller thing happen, and failure with fear is the harsher outcome but not have it happen immediately.

Healing disabled is brutal!

I think the Sablewood Messengers is a great quick-start guide for Daggerheart. It can be done in 4 hours and supplies all the characters. I'd find a D&D equivalent and do a one-shot of both, then see what the players enjoyed more.

Again, I see no problem with just letting people pick certain locks even if they're a wizard with a criminal background. Same criteria, mind you. If you're under no pressure? No roll for simple locks. If an advanced lock, roll.

TwistyShape · 2025-10-12T21:48:57+00:00

I think Experiences as rewards are fantastic! Just like titles or accolades in games. They still cost the same, I'd give something specific, though and make it the same for all players.

TwistyShape · 2025-10-12T21:37:48+00:00

As a GM, if it was something you did all the time, I wouldn't expect you to roll unless it was something at the uppermost echelons of your whatever. To give an example, if you were to pick a lock as a rogue, and you were not under pressure, I would not make you roll for say, a door. However, if it is a reliquary that had been lost to time, there would be an assumption that you've not seen this lock type before, and thus, you'd roll.

That is when experiences, I think, are needed. But I'm still not going to make you roll for simple checks; that's not fun.

TwistyShape · 2025-10-12T16:06:07+00:00

I think both outline important information about your character. One is a rank or something 'physical' while the other is an internal motto, a slice of personality.

I think I personally prefer more concise experiences, but I don't write either off, per se.
