I've taken a bold step, creating a short combat video related to the self-play tutorial and dungeon, found on youtube here: https://youtu.be/cbTPP7MoVyM?si=acqLE3oh8R01aS0v
And predictably, it has face-planted with regards to the public media. For me personally, youtube will always be Lucy, no matter how many times I line up to kick.
The idea is this: make a video of a combat, a demonstration of the combat rules being played out, not only in one example but combat after combat. Create a transcript of the combat and post that to my wiki, so that I can add links to the transcript that explain the rules being played. I think it's innovative, I think it's brilliant, I think there's absolutely nothing like it on youtube or in anything I've ever seen about D&D.
And unfortunately, without noticing it until it was too late, the entrance way and guard room look like a dick pic:
The analytics tell the tale:
For the first hour, the number of actual appearances on youtube, the chances that anyone could click the video and look at it, were under a hundred. They are now very slowly climbing upwards (my other vids would have more than 10,000 impressions by this time). Maybe this'll change, but I don't expect so.
Anyway, there's the link, see the video. I'll be doing another like it, when I'm ready. I woke up this morning, excited to be creating it, getting it rendered into video and making the transcript, but I see no reason for celebrating now.
It's a good idea. Fuck you, youtube.
