    Experimenting with some new video formats, specifically focusing on miniature assembly and painting processes. Not sure how much I will stick with it, or if I will even like the format, but with the new Swoop Riders for Star Wars Legion, I am giving some time to the effort. My basic plan is to assemble…

    Episode 5 of the Legion battle reports should be live now, recorded in 4k. The audio problems from the prior session are gone (I remembered to use battery). The battle itself was relatively fast and decisive – it was fairly clear after about turn 3 where the victory was going. But it was a fun…

    For quite some time now, I have been streaming and recording our sessions and activities with OBS Studio. It makes it very easy to consolidate and pre-configure a great many things, and it is very compatible with my Zoom H6 audio recorder I use to capture all the audio. However, sometimes it is necessary to…

    It seems that our recent content for Star Wars Legion is rather successful. Not breaking any major milestones yet, but the videos are far more popular than our ongoing RPG sessions. Won’t be stopping those anytime soon, but certainly pivoting for more wargaming content. Legion tends to be more time consuming – the games are…

    Last week, as a filler, we ended up running a Star Wars: Legion game, which I ended up recording and then posting to YouTube. This apparently has been much more successful than our otherwise regular long-format RPG storylines. Which is fine, and not unexpected given recent trends. As such, I am looking to expand this…

    After numerous months of streaming our live games on Twitch, I have opted to drop the parallel effort and move entirely over to YouTube Live. Functionally, Twitch is much more capable and feature full, but there simply is no audience for our gaming materials and I don’t post actual video games. As such, with all…

    Decided to make an effort to consolidate my Twitch efforts into a single channel, instead of multiple different ones. That makes it somewhat easier to stream from different sources, without having to change the settings, and gives me additional content to fill the time somewhat between game sessions. If you have been a follower of…

    If you watch many tutorials on video creation, one of the primary lessons you learn quickly is that audio makes or breaks your production. Low quality video is troublesome, but generally doesn’t chase away viewers (unless its really annoying). Low quality audio however rapidly chases them away. It is very easy to forgive poor lighting,…
