Save the Date: February Livestreams

Hey friends! February's Patron-exclusive livestreams will be this Sunday at 11am and 5pm MT. You can attend either (or both!), or watch the VOD afterwards if you miss 'em.

We'll chat about what I've been up to so far this year, the new Patreon rewards, and upcoming projects, and then we'll wrap up with a Q&A! Looking forward to...

Why travel in D&D sucks (and how to fix it)

Welcome to February! Here's this week's YouTube video! In this one, I talk about why overland travel in D&D can often be boring and meaningless — and how to make it fun and meaningful, if that's the kind of thing you'd like to do as a DM.

Changes to Patreon Rewards for 2022!

Hey friends! I'm making some changes to Patreon rewards for 2022 — really just two, but they're two big changes! These changes will go into effect on February 1. If you have any questions, feel free to comment or send me a DM!

Introducing "Club Di"

As I change the way I offer merchandise, the 25% shop discount reward is no longer going to be possible. (Your 25% ...

Paused for January! PLUS: A poll!

Hello everyone! By now you've probably gotten an email letting you know that you were not charged for January on my Patreon. You will be charged again on February 1 as normal (or if you have an annual pledge, a month has been added onto your subscription.) This means you will not be receiving any rewards for January. You will, however, still have access to all of your passive r...

2021 Recap + January Break!

Sorry I couldn't give y'all early access to this one, but I needed to actually schedule it through YouTube because at its designated posting time, I'll be skiing!

Regardless, here it is, and a note — I am pausing my Patreon for January. This means that you will NOT be charged for January! You will still have access to all of my posts, Discord, your disc...

Your LAST CHANCE to submit for the Patron Spotlight!

Hey friends! Today I come bearing bittersweet news: We are retiring the monthly Patron Spotlight. After two and a half years of highlighting your incredible work through these spotlights, submissions are slowing down and I think it's run its course.

"A TPK Carol" — a D&D parody music video

IT'S DONE!!

This is one of those videos that felt very clunky to me until the final hour or so of the edit — I was working on the composites and stuff, thinking "hmm... it looks.... okay." And then in the eleventh hour, when I applied the final color corrections and added in some shadows and some directional blurs, it was like everything clicked into place. Now I feel pretty good about ...

TPK Carol — Marathon Editing Stream!

HELLO! Come join me in about 15 minutes for a stream while I edit tomorrow's music video! I'm basically planning on staying on stream until it's done, or close to done, so I'll probably be live for quite a while. You'll get to see behind the curtains on my editing process, and I'll probably be chatting and answering questions during some portions and more focused during others, depending on wha...

Total Ginny Kill

I am FINALLY finished shooting the music video for TPK Carol after a harrowing long weekend!! Never let me start a seasonal music video less than two weeks before the event in question, please 😬

Here are some sneak peeks!! Tomorrow is all about the editing, and I'm thinking of doing a marathon editing stream for $5+ Patrons to get me through it. What say you — wanna drink too much co...

Here is a silly little song! Hope you like it! Music video coming soon. (And by that I mean I haven't started it yet. BUT I'M SHOT LISTING IT NOW.)

Lyrics

Dash or disengage,
Take a dodge or help or hide,
No matter what we did,
Our whole party died!

The Dungeon Master laughed (ha ha ha!)
As we begged her on our knees
We should’ve had a plan but now
We’re...

HI FRIENDS! It's time for me to once again ask for your feedback on Patreon! You can fill out your survey here. It should only take a few minutes, although it may take longer for those in higher pledge tiers because I ask about each reward.

Anyone can fill it out, no matter how long you've been a Patron or what ti...

No time to take notes while DMing? Try this!

Okay, so this is a very specific topic and I'm genuinely not sure if this is going to be helpful to people or if they're going to be like "duh, this is so stupid." I'm a very methodical person, so breaking down an organizational technique into pieces feels natural and useful to me, but I could also totally see people thinking this video is really obvious 😂 I guess we'll see!

Arinise Gallery

Snapped some stills of the tiefling cleric look I put together for Saturday's Steamforged Games ad! I tried a new editing thing here and tbh I'm not sure if I like it — it has cool vibes but I feel like it's very unflattering on the bodypaint. AH WELL!! Live and learn!

Come hang out with me while I paint myself pink (and have a cocktail because FRIDAY!) for an upcoming sponsor ad! The art in the thumbnail is from this Kickstarter, which is by Steamforged Games — the sponsor for this ad.

6 more worldbuilding mistakes DMs make!

So, fun story, I wrote up this whole list of 10 mistakes, split it into 2 parts, and then only realized a few hours ago — 2 WEEKS after scripting it, 80% of the way through the edit — that it's actually 11 mistakes 😂 But hey, I'd always rather have accidentally done too much than done too little! So here you go, enjoy a bonus mistake, haha!
