This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

RPG Youtube channels worth watching?

I really haven't stumbled across many folks on youtube talking about RPGs.

Anyone have suggestions?

For whatever reason I watch a number of wargaming channels on Youtube that are quite fun... but the RPG guys annoy me... often coming off as pretentious twats.

I kind of like this guy Runeslinger's posts: https://www.youtube.com/user/Runeslinger/videos
I only listen to him though... watching him makes me want to punch.
Same with The Gentleman Gamer

Tetsubo57 is a complete fuckwad though... even if I don't look at him.

You wouldn't mind sharing some of those wargaming channels, would you?

Actually... most of them are about modelling terrain and painting... not so much rules/tactics.
This guy: https://www.youtube.com/user/MrReef3/videos makes a LONG video-magazine each month where he and his pals talk about games, play games... do a bit of painting and futz around. I usually watch while I'm painting/modeling.
He makes me laugh and reminds me of why I like Warhammer when the right people are involved.

DM Scotty is actually an RPG guy but I'm always thinking Song of Blades and Heroes when I watch his terrain vids: https://www.youtube.com/user/theDMsCraft/videos

I've been so addicted to Rollplay: Swan Song lately--the creator of DungeonWorld is GMing a Stars Without Number game that is totally awesome so far. The channel also has vids of other RPG sessions which I haven't gotten to just yet but look pretty cool.

I watch LarpCrafts channel as they have good reviews of LARPing gear. Especially foam latex weapons.

Realm of LARP and Cornwyth were two LARP themed series that I enjoyed.

Heard of but havent had a chance to look at yet Gentleman Gamer and Red Dice Diaries.

Simlasa

Not exactly RPG related but I like these guys for authentic weapons and combat information:

Simlasa, you shall burn in hell.

Had no idea who Tetsubo57 was, found this, want to murder someone.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

Why did you have to bring up Tetsubo57?  That tool question people who got piss off over, "Teach men not to rape."  Gee thanks Tetsubo57 for thinking all men are horrible rape monsters which is the real reason why radical (NOT ALL) feminists want to push for that.  To make men feel worst about themselves despite the fact that the department of justice had concluded that there had been only less than 200,000 cases of rape and sexual assault in the U.S.A. at the year 2010.  This woman points you out that.

Here is a clue.  Men already know rape is something you should never do.  We don't need assholes like you Tetsubo57 to tell us that.  We already know and it is not men's fault that some sick fucks break that law.

For everyone else I am sorry for the rant.  Tetsubo57 pisses me off with his bullshit.  You want a good RPG I would look at channels that uses Roll20, but Gentleman Gamer is a good start as well.

Simlasa

I didn't know about ANY of that! I only watched a couple of his vids before deciding he was a cock.

Gentleman Gamer can be rather longwinded and more than a little Swiny, but there's informative/fun stuff there as well.

He is a big fan of the world of darkness books.  Those books do come off as pretentious and whiny at times.

STILL!  He hadn't went out and drank that social justice troll kool aid either.  He is a far better person to watch than other people I can name.

ok, I know this has nothing to do with his qualifications, opinions, or whatever, but it's a HUGE pet peeve of mine whenever I see a dude who makes zero attempt to groom his beard, but lets himself look like a total slob.  And yes, we judge people by their appearance because we're humans.  So I couldn't make it past 1 minute in.
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.
