Library of Witticisms β€” Free decks update!

Hey everybody! I just sent out emails to everyone who was credited as a writer on any of the three jokes videos, letting you know which deck(s) you'll be getting for free. Here's a quick little FAQ:

What if I got an email, but I don't want a deck?

You can reply to the email and just let me know you'd like to opt out!

Announcing: The Library of Witticisms!

I have super exciting news!! I've spent the last few months working with Unlimited Realms (creators of the Deck of Rumours) to expand my pick-up lines, insults, and jokes videos into card decks. The guys at Unlimited Realms have worked super hard to draw up over 300 original illustrations for these cards β€” I'm ab...

Reward Emails!

Hi friends! It's been a year or two since I checked in on this, so I thought I'd touch base.

I send out reward emails every month with direct links to Patreon posts that contain that month's rewards. My intent with these emails is to make it easier to find and access your rewards, and to help Patrons access rewards they may have missed. However, since these emails are not filtered based o...

I've been sewing!

Sorry I've been a bit quiet this week on Patreon & Discord β€” sewing build videos always take a lot out of me, and this one (Codex from The Guild) is a particularly complex costume to put together in a week!

We also have new foster kittens (Pictured is Citron, snoozing on my ironing board. Not pictured: her sister Cherry) and they bring their own distractions and time-consuming but r...

Here's your early access to this week's video, which is all about creating a unique voice for your roleplay character! I know a lot of people think character voice = accent, but I wanted to help folks realize that you don't need to be amazing at accents in order to give your character a voice that's different fr...

It's April! // updates, livestreams, tomfoolery

April's Theme

This April is the ten year anniversary of my very first cosplay!! I simultaneously can't believe it's been that long, and feel like it's been a lifetime. To celebrate, I'm going to remake my first cosplay: Codex, Felicia Day's character from her web series "The Guild"!

I'll also be doing a parody of "Do You Wanna Date my Avatar" called "Do You Wanna Date a C...

Roll Up Your Attributes

I was honestly NOT SURE if I'd be able to get this one out on time... but after three nonstop days of editing, I've ended up with a video I'm pretty dang proud of!!

I really hope people enjoy this. I know that since it covers a pretty basic part of D&D mechanics, it might not have functional appeal to the majority of my audience and to experienced D&D players, but I'm hoping that ...

A very smol wizard

Been working on this music video edit all day (with... some setbacks) and to be honest, I'm not 100% sure it'll be done by Wednesday. 😩 Thank you for your patience while I continue to be a massively disorganized person who is very bad at time management.

8 Things Terrible DMs Do

I have a nice clickbait-y video for y'all this week: 8 things terrible DMs do. (It's really more like "8 DM mistakes that can drive people away from a D&D game," but that's a lot less clickable!)

I apologize for this not being terribly early access β€” I was already running late on this one, and then the events in Bo...

"Roll Up Your Attributes" mp3

Hooray, this month's new song is finally here! This music video is coming next week (hopefully... I'm scrambling a bit right now trying to get it done.)

This is a parody of "Unpack your Adjectives" from the 70s-90s US children's educational show "Schoolhouse Rock." If this goes over well, I'm hoping to do a whole Rulebook Rock series! You can 2021-03-23 18:07:41 +0000 UTC View Post
