Hey folks! Such an outpouring of kind words - THANK YOU ALL. The CONTENT will remain up for as long as RUclips exists, so it's not going anywhere :) I wish I could read all of the comments but there are so many!
Thank you - I continue to link your videos to friends and players alike looking to better understand my own DMing style as well as getting into the mindset of a DM!
7 Years ago, when we made the full switch from 4e to 5e and I also started to DM in DnD, is when your channel and content was a gold mine for me. Always on point, calmly explain, no loud noisy videos, but all just on topic. Exactly what I had a need for at the time and a few more years. I realized by now, I wasn't even subbed anymore. I'm not in need for educational videos on DMing or playing DnD specifically. The few DnD "related" channels I follow these days are only 4: Matt Colville, Pointy Hat, Ginny Di, Bob the Builder. (technically some more that focus on writing and/or world building not exclusive to DnD but in general) And I admit, I watch them more for inspiration or even more, just entertainment. Thank you so much for the great help you have been! Good luck and much joy with the new channel!
Thank you for your amazing work over the years. You were a huge influence on me when I started GMing in 2019 and I always share your videos with new GMs because they are simply outstanding. All the best to you, Guy!
Thank you for a lot of great content. I have disagreed occasionally and been inspired on others, but both makes you think. Fair winds and following seas in your coming endavours.
Dude! Damn. The end of an era. I was talking on a live-stream just last week about how amazing you are at running Star Trek, you and Janet casually spouting techno-babble like pros, and how amazing your playing a Klingon is. I'm thrilled you're going to make a channel to geek-out on Star Trek. Much love, my friend. I wish you great success in your new adventures.
Watching your channel helped me immensely with GMing and got me to purchase “Maximum Apocalypse “ and loved the kid you roleplayed on another channel with that game! Cheers from a fan! I subscribed to both your new channels! Looking forward to many a great shows ❤️
Best of luck with this new chapter of your life. Your channel was a huge influence on my own. Happy new year, and thank you for the advice and memories.
The timing between your last video and Great GM' *last* last video really drives home how much this stupid platform's algorithm is smothering the content I really enjoy in favor of clickbait videos and shorts from twenty-somethings that are actually just thinly-veiled advertisements for their OF pages, doesn't it PDM?
I can't believe RUclips did this to you. That's beyond alarming. I hope your followers all continue your journey with you on your new ventures. I'm a Trekkie myself and look forward to your thoughtful input on those IPs/stories/games! Beam me up, Guy! 🖖
What kind of world do we live in when platform now tells content creators what themes and topics they should make videos about. The end times of creativity and freedom, I see.
He likely talked to some sort of creator service person, they looked at the metrics going back x amount of time, saw he was declining, and told him that channel behavior means the algorithm will cool off on pushing his channel.
RUclips has a sense of humor because this is the first video of yours I’ve seen. I’m glad you’re doing what’s best for yourself and I’m looking forward to going over this channel for more advice on being a better GM
@@HermieMunster The algorithm is doing it's job. It's not rewarding creators for time, effort or quality. It's rewarding creators for viewer retention and the number of ads you can make them watch. This video probably hit the mark as people that stoped watching his videos because the content do not fit our interest anymore still watched his video. Algorithm think it's a good money cow and promotes it to people that might be interested by this topic. That's the sad reallity of youtube and it's neither bad nor good. It's playing capitalism game.
I just found this video randomly, but like the algo rewards watch time, i just looked at his channel, its like 500-1.5k views on videos for like the last year or more, he has 280k subs, clearly he just lost his sub's interest if he cant get even 2% of them to watch his stuff. Its not youtubes fault, like you said the algo rewards retention/watch time, if he isnt making stuff that people want to watch/watch the whole thing, he needs to adapt his content or style.
I be the first to admit, that I wasn't watching as frequent as I did, but mostly because, well, I became a better GM. Your advice got me the confidence to be behind the screen, and in a way, the confidence to tell stories like I love to. Stories that are, finally, becoming a book, and luckily a new career. So, Guy, thank you for this channel and all this years of lovely content. Now, engage. 🚀
I feel the same, after gaining my confidence back I felt less of a need to watch and focus on other things to gain inspiration from. Without this channel I don't think I would have DMed again. Thank you Guy for everything!
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happens" is a quote that comes to mind. Thank you for all the great advice over the years, looking foreward to see what's next.
Of all the life forms that will perish in the oncoming death of the universe, we will miss the anglerfish the least... 😂 However the one that may be better, "The pain of your absence is sharp and haunting, and I would give anything not to know it; anything but never knowing you at all (which would be worse)."
When I finished school and moved from a big city to a tiny town, someone walked by my office and invited me to join their TTRPG table with some local friends. I didn't really understand how to build a character, but Guy, you were there over 7 years ago. When we were a few sessions deep and I wanted to improve as a player, you were there. When our forever GM moved away, you were there, and gave me the confidence to step up as the new GM of the party. When I prepped my first session as GM, you were there. Over the years, as our party tried new systems and invited new friends, you were there. From backing and reading your books, to watching your videos, you have taught me - more than any other - such a tremendous wealth of what TTRPGs are all about. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. After experiencing the fantastic solo Star Trek series you made, I can't wait to see what's next!
I have to admit, I haven't watched your content in years. You were however, the first "GM Advice" channel that I ever watched. Those videos provided so much inspiration and advice that I was able to get into GMing and have run a few really fun games. Even if RUclips keeps this channel off the front page I hope they are smart enough to send anyone searching for GM Advice do your archives. So much knowledge and experience in these videos. Thanks for everything and I already subscribed to the Guy D'Adventures channel. Sadly I have no interest in Star Trek but I wish that channel well!
RUclips as a platform does not reward, recognize, or appreciate passion and talent. I have watched all your GMing videos, and they have made becoming a GM a very enlightening and rewarding experience. Thank you for the years of hard work and wisdom! Your ideas and legacy will live on in your books.
RUclips is the worst and I truly wish there was a way we could hurt the company as a whole and their pocket book without hurting the creators in the process. It started as a free video sharing platform where you could literally find videos about anything with absolutely zero ads and it has become a greedy, soulless corporate entity where you can’t even say certain words anymore without getting demonetized. Have a channel that talks about or shows guns and you’re finished. Hear music in the background or anything else someone may think belongs to them and your channel gets removed with no real way to defend yourself. Don’t agree with or promote RUclips/Googles world and political views and your channel gets cast to the shadows so no one can find it. When problems do happen, usually at the fault of RUclips, creators can’t get any help and are often told “oh well that sucks.” They’ve gotten too big and powerful and they need to be humbled. Unfortunately as I mentioned I don’t know if anyway for that to happen without the creators we all love getting burned in the process.
20+ year GM here. Your OGAS system changed how I run npcs in such an impactful way. Best of luck going forward, I will be dropping in on your new channels.
Same. While it eventually led me back to ideals, bonds, and flaws. It informed me on how to use them properly. They kind of blurred together, honestly.
Agreed! OGAS gave me confidence to step out and GM for the 1st time. A campaign that I thought would last 6 months ran for 2 years! Thank you for the inspiration to embark on that journey :)
You were one of the first TTRPG RUclipsrs I ever watched. Thanks for getting me through my first campaign AND the three others that came after! Your wisdom has helped me from the very beginning of my time as a DM!
I just found your channel last year, and now I've got all this great content to help me be a great GM as well as another channel to nerd about star trek and get to be asking for that ride with you! Thank you for what you've done and pivoting in two awesome new channels!
you have been the David Attenborough of D&D. we (I) thank you for all you have provided for us. you have helped shape us all in the workings of a great GM and player. i still utilize your vids and i wish you luck in all your future endeavors.
Ouch this hurts Edit: I think it would be cool, because I know you prep for your sessions, that you live stream you prepping and other DMs can join and we can all prep together and possibly bounce ideas off each other and still get advice from you. I just don’t want this channel to go
When I think of finding your channel, the one thing I remember is about describing structures and using books on ancient architecture. I've always appreciated your presentation, it's always easy to listen to and always practical. Thank you!
This is a turn of the dice I didn’t expect to see today. You’ve always been amazing every single story, every single moment, growing and learning with you over the years. Just like the great characters I’ve had to retire after games, I hope the epilogue of your journey from this channel is just as amazing as the adventure.
Im not going to lie. You did kjnda drop off my feed. I remember watching you as i first started dming and got hooked. And then you disappeared for a while or other things came up. It has brought back a flood of fond memories and advice. To this day i still use your advice on mapmaking. All in all you inspired a much younger me. I only wish I had payed closer attention to you in the recent years. Thanks for everything Guy. Also while im personally not a trekkie i have already subbed to Guydadventures. Looks absolutely awesome and i hope both channels thrive.
I was just a player, and couldn't find anyone willing to GM. I watched your videos, GM'ed for my friends, and they loved it! You gave me so much information and inspiration, inspiration is so hard to come by sometimes, thank you!
The end of an era. I'll often pull up your older videos to re-watch for inspiration before a session. Particularly the Story-Telling Basics playlist. You've given me some very valuable advice that has made a difference in how I GM. Thank you. I look forward to checking out the next 2 channels.
My favourite memory of this channel is from 2018. But before I tell it: English is not my first langue, so please forgive me, if my wording or grammar is off sometimes, can't get the German sentence structure out of my head when writing English. 2018 and the years before were quite frustrating time in my life. My regular Pen and Paper group had a falling out, I now was pushed into the role as the GM, even though I did not feel really confortable with it, because I actually quit GMing a few years ago (for personal reasons). To help me get back into GMing, I looked for RUclips-Channels and I found yours. When I had a question messaged you (on Facebook when people still used that xD) and you responded. Your feedback really helped me a lot with finding new confidence. It helped a lot with making GMing fun for me again. I'm actually still GMing for the same people on a semi regular basis. This really small exchange between us actually changed a lot for me, because you gave me a perspective of understanding players that I did not have before. It kind of started me down a path that I'm very happy with. I love GMing for my current group, I regularly host Beginner-Games for People who want to try Pen and Paper and on top of that I actually focussed on roleplay used as a teaching methode during my time at university (hopefull that I'll be able to use it a lot when I become a teacher soon). You were part of what helped me during a very frustrating and dark time in my life to find joy and a different perspective, there is nothing that could top this memory for me. I wish you the best for your future and a lot of sucess with the new channels.
Regardless of what RUclips or anyone else thinks, you were one of the best, if not the best, GM channel available. I really appreciate all you did for all of TTRPG folks and your work was excellent! And as a 40+ year GM myself, you are the GM of GMs. Bravo, Sir! Respect.
I nearly cried watching this, dude. Your videos really helped me learn to GM (I've been doing so for nearly four years now). I used your advice on worldbuilding and character design to make my own world and elaborate history. I used your advice on naming things and giving them personality, which has created many spectacular adventures and characters my players loved. I especially used your advice on pacing and plot points (still need to work on that though). To this day, I find even your older videos still relevant and helpful, and I go back to watch them from time to time. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these over the years. Here's hoping your new channels will live long and prosper!
You were the first channel I watched trying to get myself the confidence to GM. After 4 years I'm still the forever GM and me and my friends have a blast. Thanks for everything!
I wish you all the best. I hope this channel stays up, for references I may need in the future. I'm not versed on Star Trek so I'll probably miss that, but the Guy D'adventures might be quite good.
One of my favourite moments was directly messaging you about a campaign design problem (ultra-wealthy villain motivation), and you didn't just respond... you literally made a whole episode about it (How to determine what your Villain Wants). That was 6yrs back... and I still haven't started that campaign because of reasons. I do also totally get the finite channel thing. I literally started making (bad) videos because I spent a long time in one series of games, and discovered that people just did not understand how the game worked. I uploaded the best I could manage at the time, knew they were bad, still think they're bad, still plan on redoing them... and yet, somehow, despite having not uploaded in over 4yrs... people still inexplicably show up. I will, inevitably, run out of content for that one series, no matter how much hairsplitting I do. One story ends, begin again. See you on the adventure channel.
I played DnD a few years and our adventure ended when the DM had a much needed break. I discovered your channel and you teached me how to be a DM, I gathered people one more time for a new adventure and it was amazing. Thank you for the encouragement, the thorough lessons and all the fun. You are an amazing teacher!
It has been a pleasure growing old with you my friend. Thank you for all your wisdom. It has been a pleasure riding so many adventures with your advise. Take care and Godspeed.
Thank you for everything, Guy. Your videos taught me the basics of D&D and how to properly run a game. Without them, I probably would have given up on setting up my first session, and without that first session, I wouldn't be a music composer for TTRPGs. You truly are an inspiration, and I wish you the best of luck with your upcoming projects!
After all these years, this channel is still my topmost go-to recommendation to other GMs and players, bar none. And it will continue to be, because you've left a goldmine of valuable information archived in this library. That said, I'm excited to check out the stuff you've got brewing for Off My Bridge and Guy D'Adventures, because if the mind that came up with all the good stuff in this channel is gonna be coming up with more good stuff in those, then godspeed and see you there!
I've been following the channel for roughly 3 years now, and I still distinctly remember your basic tutorial GM videos about making towns and NPCs and whatnot. Those videos were practically the cornerstone of my current GM abilities. Thank you.
Deeply saddened by these news, but I totally understand. Damn, this hits me hard. I have been following your channel since 2018, when I first started GMing. Your videos have been very inspiring and motivating, and grealty helped shape my main rpg into what it is today, a project i'm truly proud of, where my players enjoy coming back every session, and creating art about it. I remember first watching some of your videos about campaign creation and taking some clumsy notes into a little notebook that I still keep today after years. Now I still come back when I need specific advice, and your channel has always delivered. I wish you the best, Guy. Thank you for all you have taught me and many others.
Thank you for everything, Guy. I just bought "The Practical Guide to Becoming a Great GM" and gave as a Christmas present to my daughter's partner who recently started a career as a GM. I also remember, fondly, your Bounty Hunter game which I translated into Swedish and played with my friends. Great times were had by all.
I started watching your channel in 2017-2018 in preparation to be a GM. I was terrified of running because I was worried about my stories and games not being good enough. I remember taking notes and rewatching videos as I planned out my campaign and individual sessions. You never failed to give me some new insight or advice, whether I knew I needed it or not. I will always be grateful for the confidence you've helped me build over the years and will continue to point any aspiring GMs here. Your way of talking, breaking down concepts, making everything feel simple to understand and execute will always stay in my mind. Thank you so much. May you live long and prosper, Friend
I still think back fondly to the group of us road tripping to Gen Con. It was a fantastic experience. I'll never forget you running a game as we traveled down the road. I look forward to your new adventures you share with us. Thank you for all the heart and soul you've put into Great GM.
I haven't regularly watched in a long time, but you were the first GM advice channel I found and really helped me in improving my games. Excited about your new projects, keep your head up!
Your videos played no small part in me becomung the GM for my group a few years ago, which I am greatful for you for for that, Guy. I also love the live plays you've done on the channel, and will continue to watch what you put out here, as well as on your new channels.
Thank you for all the advice, you helped me develop a foundation for my DMing. I still run that first encounter you built with us years ago. I'll be keeping tabs on you, super excited about the exploring channel! Good luck.
We'll miss you, of course. I'm glad that your material will still be available, and that I have your books to which to refer. And yes, sites! When I was stationed in Scotland I visited places that still inspire my creativity. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, particularly Guy d'Adventures (and you would not believe what autocorrect did with that)! Come on, make with the inspiration!
Thank you for this touching tribute and closing of a wonderful channel. I've learned so much over the years from watching your content and it's helped me improve as a GM and as a player. Best of luck to you on your next adventures!
Loved your channel and content right from the start. I still go back and forth among them in order to refresh my memory. Thank you for all your effort and love you and your web goblin put into it. Will certainly visit your adventure channel!
When i restarted D&D about 9 years ago, many channels popped up and got recommended to me. You are the only one I still watch regularely. You are right that a saturation has been happening, also you told what you wanted to tell. I will look into your new content. Anyway Guy, you taught me how to (try to) be a great GM. Thank you!
Going to ruins and lost places, and coming up with stories about what might have happened? that sounds like my jam. I loved the prompts you did for the "How to GM" book.
Thank you so much for all of your work. I'm sad to hear the news. Your videos helped me SO much back when I was a baby GM. You helped me take my flat, bland campaigns and make them slightly more interesting haha
OH...the gaming side of the house... FASA Star Trek... Star Trek RPG... Star Trek CCG... And...my favorite... Star Fleet Battles...I've got the Commander's Edition...and some modified and even a couple My Own Creations... I want to do another Captain's Campaign... I'd really enjoy some actual gameplay on a Live Session...that would be really cool... Game On...Dude...lol...
I hope Duskmourn and similar content continue for quite some time. It is great seeing the stories you weave with your players. Thank you for the wonderful suggestions and guidelines you've provided for the past few years.
I stopped playing TTRPGs a couple of years ago, but I still re-watch your videos about storytelling and worldbuilding. They cross hobbies! Good luck with your next adventures.
The one and only Channel for Gming. You basically taught me everything i know about Gming, especially with running things on the fly and low prep! Thank you so much Guy!
Thanks for everything, you provided so many people a perspective on the process of being a GM / Player. It's always sad for things to end, but I hope your next adventure goes swimmingly.
I just want to say THANKYOU! for everything, I have watched hundreds of your videos and you and your team have made me the GM I am today. I don't think I would've had the courage to GM my first game with confidence without your channel. Once again, thankyou for everything Guy!
I remember finding your channel alongside with other tabletop content channel years and years back now. I've seen so many rise and vanish in that time, so much fun and so much good information within. Yours always stood out to me, and with a few others lived rent free in my mind ever since then. I know you and those others helped shape the way I ran and played games. Your tips and insights guided me, even if often subconsciously. Thanks for all the great videos and words on this channel, sincerely. I will assuredly look upon them again from time to time as I continue to run and play games, and even as I now endeavor to write a novel series. You've touched many lives here, mine included, and I hope to pay it forward in the form of great stories. Best of luck on all you do from here onward.
I was watching the videos here from 2017, I think. Without these videos, I would have never started DMing during the pandemic. So A BIG THANK TO YOU TOO, GUY! As for memorable moments, I have puzzled my players with "A king is ill..." ciphered message, which they spent an eternity trying to figure out. And the drow are now using web spider messages as the standard procedure in my games as well. Additionally, my players are now paranoid of a folieraptors. They still check the bushes from time to time, just in case. All in all, from all the DnD channels, yours have given me the most ideas over the years. Thank you.
Noooo! It's been a very helpful journey ad an erstwhile GM, I thank you for that! I wish you the best in your forthcoming ventures (subscribed to Guy D'Adventure).
Thank you for all your efforts to bring us this wonderful content. I've been too afraid to try to GM, but your content has helped a lot for me to overcome that. Wishing you all the best on wherever your path leads. Cheers!
This was my first D&D channel! I've been very sporadic in viewing but i always knew i could come back to you for great narrative advice. Thank you so much!
Hey Guy, thanks so much for all the content you did for this channel. the most memeroble thing i'vee seen you do was during the adventures of the windswift, the party split 5 ways and yet you kept that session going so smoothly, jumping van character to character is such a way everyone was kept engaged with such skill that single example has been my unicorn to chase. I have grown as a gm over the years following your advise and have made mistakes trying to follow your advise at a table that didn't mesh well with the style i was trying to use. in any ways you have improved my skills as a gm and turned me down a path were i will gm every week and continue to do so happily for years to come thanks you very much, have the greatest and happiest of gaming and I hope your new endevors be as succesful and impactful to peopla as this channel was to me. Thank you
Your videos were instrumental in instilling me with the confidence to lead my own game! (A game that was supposed to be two sessions long and is now finally about to wrap up after running for almost 5 years, by the way) Thank you so much for everything you've done and all the people you've inspired and empowered to explore their own stories, and even learn a bit about themselves in the process.
It has been an honor to learn from you, game with you, and see the amazing person that you are grow and change, I am thrilled to see what new worlds you shall conquer :)
Hey! I started GMing in 2020, and you were my primary mentor. It’s truly one of my favorite things to do, and now I’ve run games for first timers, seasoned players, and total strangers at conferences and game shops. I’m so so glad that this channel existed to get me from there to here, and I cannot thank you enough. Very best wishes!
I started dming about 10 years ago and your videos were great learnings and ideas for me. So thank you for that. Haven't always agreed with you or your ideas but I've learned a lot and had a lot of fun.
I’m livid that the algorithm hasn’t been putting you in my feed. Discovered you around covid, I think? Maybe a bit before. And I’ve loved everything I’ve seen. Thank you for making me a better gm
6:04 this is really odd to me, I've never heard of RUclips limiting what you can do with a 2nd channel. At least here in the US, it's pretty normal right now for gaming RUclipsrs to make a second channel because the second channel has way better ability to find new people and rack of views.
Sadly RUclips just wants quantity regardless of quality. It's a crap business model, and loads of creators who should be allowed a platform are being, as you said, "culled. Shunted off. Etc.."
Thank you very much! Your videos have been part of my path deeper into the world of role-playing. I have received a lot of clarity and reassurance from you about what I like and what is important to me. Best wishes!
Like many others, my wife and I picked up DND during Covid and I very distinctly running across your channel and have followed you since then. It was a trainwreck trying to DM LMOP for my one player (my wife). But I know that you have helped me becoming a better GM. Thank you for all the advice and videos - I think you have truly guided many of us in our TTRPG journeys. I know absolutely nothing about star trek, I know that I will be subscribing to you yet again due to how wonderful you are. I wish you all the best!
I'm just happy to have learned so much. One of the things I can distinctly remember learning from you is how to better run collosal monster encounters and make them feel impactful. It was very important to my setting at the time, and I stumbled across your channel seemingly by coincidence. Personally, I don't think there are such things, but regardless of that it helped me immensely, as well as your other many many guides and techniques. Thanks for showing us how to be a great gm!
I'd like to say thank you for what you've done over the last ten years. I started my journey in learning on how to be a great GM with your channel in the very beginning of 2014. Thanks to you, not only have I become an amazing GM through your tips and tricks, but now have a wonderful group of friends. This group of friends I have are going to be my groomsmen for my upcoming wedding. I'm sad to hear you go, but will always recommend people who are looking to becoming great GMs themselves to your channel. Thank you sir, and god speed to you in your next journey!
I discovered your channel when I was just looking for fantasy content. You inspired me to give Game Mastering a shot. I fell in love with the hobby. I learned a lot about story telling, I learned how to run games, I got in touch with old friends, I met some new friends, and I started volunteering to run games at the local library. Thank you Guy. Thank you to everyone who made this channel possible. You changed my life in the best way.
Thank you for all you've done for the roleplaying community! Your channel was a huge inspiration for me to start my own channel about Horror Roleplaying games, which ended up being a catalyst for a new career. I'm excited to hear you will still be in the RUclips space, and good luck with your new channels!
Thank you for all that you have shared. I became a more confident DM through some of your videos, and as with any good teacher, I began needing you less and less as time went on. I hope for your happiness, prosperity, and adventure going forward into the future. Thank you so much!
Your videos have helped me improve as a GM & player and I will continue to refer to them when I need inspiration for as long as the channel stays up. My table thanks you
I have learned so much from this channel. I will admit that I have not watched as many videos lately. But this was a huge part of my growth as a GM. Thanks
You're the first guy I found when I started game mastering 5 years ago. This channel gave me the confidence and a jumping off point for my first adventure! Thanks, Guy. 👍
When I was running my first game, I struggled a lot the first session. Then I found this channel and binged so many videos. The next session my players were so impressed that I'd improved as a gm so quickly. That game lasted nearly a year and we actually saw it to completion and I'm fairly confident that without your videos that wouldn't have been possible. While I haven't watched as much recently (haven't gmed anything in a good while sadly) I will always remember how much this channel helped me when I was starting out and am so thankful to you for making it. Best of luck with your future endeavors and know that at least one viewer had their entire gming career massively improved thanks to you. Thank you so much and happy new year.
Hi, Just want to say „thank you for all the amazing content“. All your videos, regarding Player and GM improvement, were extremly interesting and helpful (as far as i remember 😊). I watched all of your Fantasy campains and every week I am looking forward to a relaxed friday evening, watching the duskmourne chronicles together with my wife. Thank you ❤️

Thank you for a lot of great content. I have disagreed occasionally and been inspired on others, but both makes you think. Fair winds and following seas in your coming endavours.
i think it would be accurate to say that you are the sole reason thousands of players were able to have the best games possible
Dude! Damn. The end of an era. I was talking on a live-stream just last week about how amazing you are at running Star Trek, you and Janet casually spouting techno-babble like pros, and how amazing your playing a Klingon is. I'm thrilled you're going to make a channel to geek-out on Star Trek. Much love, my friend. I wish you great success in your new adventures.
Your q&a made me find this guy!
Love both of your channels. Hope you'll stick around for a while, Seth!
This is sad I remember driving to college listening to both your channels in 2018/2019 back to back
Trying new things like this is hard. Wow.
Watching your channel helped me immensely with GMing and got me to purchase “Maximum Apocalypse “ and loved the kid you roleplayed on another channel with that game! Cheers from a fan! I subscribed to both your new channels! Looking forward to many a great shows ❤️
Best of luck with this new chapter of your life. Your channel was a huge influence on my own. Happy new year, and thank you for the advice and memories.
🥲
The timing between your last video and Great GM' *last* last video really drives home how much this stupid platform's algorithm is smothering the content I really enjoy in favor of clickbait videos and shorts from twenty-somethings that are actually just thinly-veiled advertisements for their OF pages, doesn't it PDM?
@@ericfleming5522 it does. & it’s probably worth a video. What do you think?
@@DUNGEONCRAFT1 I would agree
@@DUNGEONCRAFT1 I'd watch and comment.
I can't believe RUclips did this to you. That's beyond alarming. I hope your followers all continue your journey with you on your new ventures. I'm a Trekkie myself and look forward to your thoughtful input on those IPs/stories/games! Beam me up, Guy! 🖖
im still sorta confused why youtube were as hands-on as discussed in this vid. I may have missed things a bit.
Why did they do this to him? what is the reason they wont promote his videos anymore? no new uploads?
Yeah I had no idea RUclips’s corporate suits had such a hand in how visible channels are. I figured the cream just rose to the top naturally.
What kind of world do we live in when platform now tells content creators what themes and topics they should make videos about. The end times of creativity and freedom, I see.
He likely talked to some sort of creator service person, they looked at the metrics going back x amount of time, saw he was declining, and told him that channel behavior means the algorithm will cool off on pushing his channel.
RUclips has a sense of humor because this is the first video of yours I’ve seen. I’m glad you’re doing what’s best for yourself and I’m looking forward to going over this channel for more advice on being a better GM
Same here and I follow a number of RPG channels, definitely something in the algorithm not recommending his videos.
Look through his back log.
@@HermieMunster The algorithm is doing it's job. It's not rewarding creators for time, effort or quality. It's rewarding creators for viewer retention and the number of ads you can make them watch. This video probably hit the mark as people that stoped watching his videos because the content do not fit our interest anymore still watched his video. Algorithm think it's a good money cow and promotes it to people that might be interested by this topic.
That's the sad reallity of youtube and it's neither bad nor good. It's playing capitalism game.
I just found this video randomly, but like the algo rewards watch time, i just looked at his channel, its like 500-1.5k views on videos for like the last year or more, he has 280k subs, clearly he just lost his sub's interest if he cant get even 2% of them to watch his stuff. Its not youtubes fault, like you said the algo rewards retention/watch time, if he isnt making stuff that people want to watch/watch the whole thing, he needs to adapt his content or style.
Same here. Bizarre.
I be the first to admit, that I wasn't watching as frequent as I did, but mostly because, well, I became a better GM.
Your advice got me the confidence to be behind the screen, and in a way, the confidence to tell stories like I love to.
Stories that are, finally, becoming a book, and luckily a new career.
So, Guy, thank you for this channel and all this years of lovely content.
Now, engage. 🚀
I feel the same
I feel the same, after gaining my confidence back I felt less of a need to watch and focus on other things to gain inspiration from. Without this channel I don't think I would have DMed again. Thank you Guy for everything!
Yeah I used to binge these videos, and the videos are still good but I grew beyond them
Same here. Thank you Guy for everything!
This is exactly what happened to me too
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happens" is a quote that comes to mind. Thank you for all the great advice over the years, looking foreward to see what's next.
Of all the life forms that will perish in the oncoming death of the universe, we will miss the anglerfish the least... 😂
However the one that may be better, "The pain of your absence is sharp and haunting, and I would give anything not to know it; anything but never knowing you at all (which would be worse)."
Smiling with tearfilled eyes!!
After 6 years of viewing I still go back to your videos.
I still go back to some of his old videos as well! As long as this content still here, this man has done the Lord’s work!
You were my first GM Channel and your channel gave me the courage to run my first campaign. Thank you so much for your help and guidance.
When I finished school and moved from a big city to a tiny town, someone walked by my office and invited me to join their TTRPG table with some local friends. I didn't really understand how to build a character, but Guy, you were there over 7 years ago. When we were a few sessions deep and I wanted to improve as a player, you were there. When our forever GM moved away, you were there, and gave me the confidence to step up as the new GM of the party. When I prepped my first session as GM, you were there. Over the years, as our party tried new systems and invited new friends, you were there. From backing and reading your books, to watching your videos, you have taught me - more than any other - such a tremendous wealth of what TTRPGs are all about. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
After experiencing the fantastic solo Star Trek series you made, I can't wait to see what's next!
I have to admit, I haven't watched your content in years. You were however, the first "GM Advice" channel that I ever watched. Those videos provided so much inspiration and advice that I was able to get into GMing and have run a few really fun games. Even if RUclips keeps this channel off the front page I hope they are smart enough to send anyone searching for GM Advice do your archives. So much knowledge and experience in these videos.
Thanks for everything and I already subscribed to the Guy D'Adventures channel. Sadly I have no interest in Star Trek but I wish that channel well!
My first was Matt Colville, but this was my second, with Dungeon Dudes.
RUclips as a platform does not reward, recognize, or appreciate passion and talent. I have watched all your GMing videos, and they have made becoming a GM a very enlightening and rewarding experience. Thank you for the years of hard work and wisdom! Your ideas and legacy will live on in your books.
RUclips is the worst and I truly wish there was a way we could hurt the company as a whole and their pocket book without hurting the creators in the process. It started as a free video sharing platform where you could literally find videos about anything with absolutely zero ads and it has become a greedy, soulless corporate entity where you can’t even say certain words anymore without getting demonetized. Have a channel that talks about or shows guns and you’re finished. Hear music in the background or anything else someone may think belongs to them and your channel gets removed with no real way to defend yourself. Don’t agree with or promote RUclips/Googles world and political views and your channel gets cast to the shadows so no one can find it. When problems do happen, usually at the fault of RUclips, creators can’t get any help and are often told “oh well that sucks.” They’ve gotten too big and powerful and they need to be humbled. Unfortunately as I mentioned I don’t know if anyway for that to happen without the creators we all love getting burned in the process.
Yep YT is about the machine grinding. :/
20+ year GM here. Your OGAS system changed how I run npcs in such an impactful way. Best of luck going forward, I will be dropping in on your new channels.
Same. While it eventually led me back to ideals, bonds, and flaws. It informed me on how to use them properly. They kind of blurred together, honestly.
Agreed! OGAS gave me confidence to step out and GM for the 1st time. A campaign that I thought would last 6 months ran for 2 years! Thank you for the inspiration to embark on that journey :)
OGAS...? Huh.
OGAS is the law!!
Where can I find this video?
You were one of the first TTRPG RUclipsrs I ever watched. Thanks for getting me through my first campaign AND the three others that came after! Your wisdom has helped me from the very beginning of my time as a DM!
Agreed. RUclips promotes horrible people like Jake paul and Tana Mongieau whilst shadow banning others. 🤷🏻♂️
I just found your channel last year, and now I've got all this great content to help me be a great GM as well as another channel to nerd about star trek and get to be asking for that ride with you! Thank you for what you've done and pivoting in two awesome new channels!
you have been the David Attenborough of D&D. we (I) thank you for all you have provided for us. you have helped shape us all in the workings of a great GM and player. i still utilize your vids and i wish you luck in all your future endeavors.
Ouch this hurts
Edit: I think it would be cool, because I know you prep for your sessions, that you live stream you prepping and other DMs can join and we can all prep together and possibly bounce ideas off each other and still get advice from you.
I just don’t want this channel to go
Thank you for being a part of my journey towards being a better GM over the last 9 years.
When I think of finding your channel, the one thing I remember is about describing structures and using books on ancient architecture. I've always appreciated your presentation, it's always easy to listen to and always practical. Thank you!
This is a turn of the dice I didn’t expect to see today. You’ve always been amazing every single story, every single moment, growing and learning with you over the years. Just like the great characters I’ve had to retire after games, I hope the epilogue of your journey from this channel is just as amazing as the adventure.
Im not going to lie. You did kjnda drop off my feed. I remember watching you as i first started dming and got hooked. And then you disappeared for a while or other things came up. It has brought back a flood of fond memories and advice. To this day i still use your advice on mapmaking. All in all you inspired a much younger me.
I only wish I had payed closer attention to you in the recent years.
Thanks for everything Guy.
Also while im personally not a trekkie i have already subbed to Guydadventures. Looks absolutely awesome and i hope both channels thrive.
I was just a player, and couldn't find anyone willing to GM. I watched your videos, GM'ed for my friends, and they loved it! You gave me so much information and inspiration, inspiration is so hard to come by sometimes, thank you!
The end of an era. I'll often pull up your older videos to re-watch for inspiration before a session. Particularly the Story-Telling Basics playlist. You've given me some very valuable advice that has made a difference in how I GM. Thank you. I look forward to checking out the next 2 channels.
Thank you for all you have given us. Good luck in whatever path you choose.
My favourite memory of this channel is from 2018.
But before I tell it: English is not my first langue, so please forgive me, if my wording or grammar is off sometimes, can't get the German sentence structure out of my head when writing English.
2018 and the years before were quite frustrating time in my life. My regular Pen and Paper group had a falling out, I now was pushed into the role as the GM, even though I did not feel really confortable with it, because I actually quit GMing a few years ago (for personal reasons).
To help me get back into GMing, I looked for RUclips-Channels and I found yours. When I had a question messaged you (on Facebook when people still used that xD) and you responded. Your feedback really helped me a lot with finding new confidence. It helped a lot with making GMing fun for me again. I'm actually still GMing for the same people on a semi regular basis.
This really small exchange between us actually changed a lot for me, because you gave me a perspective of understanding players that I did not have before. It kind of started me down a path that I'm very happy with. I love GMing for my current group, I regularly host Beginner-Games for People who want to try Pen and Paper and on top of that I actually focussed on roleplay used as a teaching methode during my time at university (hopefull that I'll be able to use it a lot when I become a teacher soon).
You were part of what helped me during a very frustrating and dark time in my life to find joy and a different perspective, there is nothing that could top this memory for me.
I wish you the best for your future and a lot of sucess with the new channels.
Regardless of what RUclips or anyone else thinks, you were one of the best, if not the best, GM channel available. I really appreciate all you did for all of TTRPG folks and your work was excellent! And as a 40+ year GM myself, you are the GM of GMs. Bravo, Sir! Respect.
You've given so much to this community that words can never truly express our gratitude.
Well, I'm going to keep watching the old videos. I have a lot to watch.
Glad I was here for it. Thank you for everything! If possible keep the videos up because I WILL be coming back to your advice
I nearly cried watching this, dude. Your videos really helped me learn to GM (I've been doing so for nearly four years now). I used your advice on worldbuilding and character design to make my own world and elaborate history. I used your advice on naming things and giving them personality, which has created many spectacular adventures and characters my players loved. I especially used your advice on pacing and plot points (still need to work on that though). To this day, I find even your older videos still relevant and helpful, and I go back to watch them from time to time. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these over the years. Here's hoping your new channels will live long and prosper!
You were the first channel I watched trying to get myself the confidence to GM. After 4 years I'm still the forever GM and me and my friends have a blast. Thanks for everything!
I wish you all the best.
I hope this channel stays up, for references I may need in the future.
I'm not versed on Star Trek so I'll probably miss that, but the Guy D'adventures might be quite good.
One of my favourite moments was directly messaging you about a campaign design problem (ultra-wealthy villain motivation), and you didn't just respond... you literally made a whole episode about it (How to determine what your Villain Wants). That was 6yrs back... and I still haven't started that campaign because of reasons.
I do also totally get the finite channel thing. I literally started making (bad) videos because I spent a long time in one series of games, and discovered that people just did not understand how the game worked. I uploaded the best I could manage at the time, knew they were bad, still think they're bad, still plan on redoing them... and yet, somehow, despite having not uploaded in over 4yrs... people still inexplicably show up. I will, inevitably, run out of content for that one series, no matter how much hairsplitting I do.
One story ends, begin again. See you on the adventure channel.
I played DnD a few years and our adventure ended when the DM had a much needed break. I discovered your channel and you teached me how to be a DM, I gathered people one more time for a new adventure and it was amazing. Thank you for the encouragement, the thorough lessons and all the fun. You are an amazing teacher!
It has been a pleasure growing old with you my friend. Thank you for all your wisdom. It has been a pleasure riding so many adventures with your advise. Take care and Godspeed.
Thank you for everything, Guy. Your videos taught me the basics of D&D and how to properly run a game. Without them, I probably would have given up on setting up my first session, and without that first session, I wouldn't be a music composer for TTRPGs. You truly are an inspiration, and I wish you the best of luck with your upcoming projects!
After all these years, this channel is still my topmost go-to recommendation to other GMs and players, bar none. And it will continue to be, because you've left a goldmine of valuable information archived in this library. That said, I'm excited to check out the stuff you've got brewing for Off My Bridge and Guy D'Adventures, because if the mind that came up with all the good stuff in this channel is gonna be coming up with more good stuff in those, then godspeed and see you there!
Thanks for the memories! I’ve learned a lot from this channel
I've been following the channel for roughly 3 years now, and I still distinctly remember your basic tutorial GM videos about making towns and NPCs and whatnot. Those videos were practically the cornerstone of my current GM abilities. Thank you.
Thanks for all the great advice and inspiration!
Thanks for all the great work over the years Guy! You’ve really helped me become better. Good luck with your next adventure!
Deeply saddened by these news, but I totally understand.
Damn, this hits me hard. I have been following your channel since 2018, when I first started GMing. Your videos have been very inspiring and motivating, and grealty helped shape my main rpg into what it is today, a project i'm truly proud of, where my players enjoy coming back every session, and creating art about it.
I remember first watching some of your videos about campaign creation and taking some clumsy notes into a little notebook that I still keep today after years. Now I still come back when I need specific advice, and your channel has always delivered.
I wish you the best, Guy. Thank you for all you have taught me and many others.
Thank you for everything, Guy.
I just bought "The Practical Guide to Becoming a Great GM" and gave as a Christmas present to my daughter's partner who recently started a career as a GM.
I also remember, fondly, your Bounty Hunter game which I translated into Swedish and played with my friends. Great times were had by all.
❤ I’m hearing about the future and I’m eager to dive in!
I started watching your channel in 2017-2018 in preparation to be a GM. I was terrified of running because I was worried about my stories and games not being good enough. I remember taking notes and rewatching videos as I planned out my campaign and individual sessions. You never failed to give me some new insight or advice, whether I knew I needed it or not. I will always be grateful for the confidence you've helped me build over the years and will continue to point any aspiring GMs here. Your way of talking, breaking down concepts, making everything feel simple to understand and execute will always stay in my mind. Thank you so much. May you live long and prosper, Friend
I still think back fondly to the group of us road tripping to Gen Con. It was a fantastic experience. I'll never forget you running a game as we traveled down the road. I look forward to your new adventures you share with us. Thank you for all the heart and soul you've put into Great GM.
This is the first video of yours that has ever been suggested to my feed
I will watch your old videos now
I haven't regularly watched in a long time, but you were the first GM advice channel I found and really helped me in improving my games. Excited about your new projects, keep your head up!
Your videos played no small part in me becomung the GM for my group a few years ago, which I am greatful for you for for that, Guy. I also love the live plays you've done on the channel, and will continue to watch what you put out here, as well as on your new channels.
Thank you for all the advice, you helped me develop a foundation for my DMing. I still run that first encounter you built with us years ago. I'll be keeping tabs on you, super excited about the exploring channel! Good luck.
Best of luck Guy! Your channels have been a fantastic resource as a fledgling DM since 2020.
You are an amazing dude and this channel has massively helped me with my own GMing! So THANK YOU for all your work!
We'll miss you, of course. I'm glad that your material will still be available, and that I have your books to which to refer.
And yes, sites! When I was stationed in Scotland I visited places that still inspire my creativity.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, particularly Guy d'Adventures (and you would not believe what autocorrect did with that)! Come on, make with the inspiration!
Thank you for this touching tribute and closing of a wonderful channel. I've learned so much over the years from watching your content and it's helped me improve as a GM and as a player. Best of luck to you on your next adventures!
Loved your channel and content right from the start. I still go back and forth among them in order to refresh my memory.
Thank you for all your effort and love you and your web goblin put into it.
Will certainly visit your adventure channel!
When i restarted D&D about 9 years ago, many channels popped up and got recommended to me. You are the only one I still watch regularely.
You are right that a saturation has been happening, also you told what you wanted to tell.
I will look into your new content.
Anyway Guy, you taught me how to (try to) be a great GM.
Thank you!
Going to ruins and lost places, and coming up with stories about what might have happened? that sounds like my jam. I loved the prompts you did for the "How to GM" book.
Thank you so much for all of your work. I'm sad to hear the news. Your videos helped me SO much back when I was a baby GM. You helped me take my flat, bland campaigns and make them slightly more interesting haha
OH...the gaming side of the house...
FASA Star Trek...
Star Trek RPG...
Star Trek CCG...
And...my favorite...
Star Fleet Battles...I've got the Commander's Edition...and some modified and even a couple My Own Creations...
I want to do another Captain's Campaign...
I'd really enjoy some actual gameplay on a Live Session...that would be really cool...
Game On...Dude...lol...
I hope Duskmourn and similar content continue for quite some time. It is great seeing the stories you weave with your players. Thank you for the wonderful suggestions and guidelines you've provided for the past few years.
I stopped playing TTRPGs a couple of years ago, but I still re-watch your videos about storytelling and worldbuilding. They cross hobbies! Good luck with your next adventures.
I respect that he’s accepting the end of the channel and addressing it! Good luck with your next steps!!
At least keep everything up on the channel. Your insight is so helpful.
That's the plan!
The one and only Channel for Gming. You basically taught me everything i know about Gming, especially with running things on the fly and low prep! Thank you so much Guy!
Im glad I got to meet you a couple of times at shows, onwards and upwards. Thanks for all the advice about youtube, GMing and just being awesome
What a sign off!
Looking forward to boldly beaming in again soon! ❤👍
Thanks for everything, you provided so many people a perspective on the process of being a GM / Player.
It's always sad for things to end, but I hope your next adventure goes swimmingly.
Became a GM running Feng Shui 2. Never would have found it in a million years without this channel.
I just want to say THANKYOU! for everything, I have watched hundreds of your videos and you and your team have made me the GM I am today. I don't think I would've had the courage to GM my first game with confidence without your channel. Once again, thankyou for everything Guy!
All the best to you in your new endeavors!
I remember finding your channel alongside with other tabletop content channel years and years back now. I've seen so many rise and vanish in that time, so much fun and so much good information within. Yours always stood out to me, and with a few others lived rent free in my mind ever since then. I know you and those others helped shape the way I ran and played games. Your tips and insights guided me, even if often subconsciously.
Thanks for all the great videos and words on this channel, sincerely. I will assuredly look upon them again from time to time as I continue to run and play games, and even as I now endeavor to write a novel series. You've touched many lives here, mine included, and I hope to pay it forward in the form of great stories. Best of luck on all you do from here onward.
I was watching the videos here from 2017, I think. Without these videos, I would have never started DMing during the pandemic. So A BIG THANK TO YOU TOO, GUY!
As for memorable moments, I have puzzled my players with "A king is ill..." ciphered message, which they spent an eternity trying to figure out. And the drow are now using web spider messages as the standard procedure in my games as well. Additionally, my players are now paranoid of a folieraptors. They still check the bushes from time to time, just in case.
All in all, from all the DnD channels, yours have given me the most ideas over the years. Thank you.
Noooo! It's been a very helpful journey ad an erstwhile GM, I thank you for that! I wish you the best in your forthcoming ventures (subscribed to Guy D'Adventure).
Thank you for this channel! It’s brought me from player to one shot dm to full dm to running a whole DnD club. And you’ve made my games better.
Thank you for all your efforts to bring us this wonderful content. I've been too afraid to try to GM, but your content has helped a lot for me to overcome that. Wishing you all the best on wherever your path leads. Cheers!
This was my first D&D channel! I've been very sporadic in viewing but i always knew i could come back to you for great narrative advice. Thank you so much!
Your videos were what made me finally decide to take the plunge and become a GM. Thank you 🙏🏽
I just gotta say
I first watched you when I DM'd my first campaign on 2021 and it lasted 2 years.
Thank you so much for your advice and support💙
Hey Guy, thanks so much for all the content you did for this channel. the most memeroble thing i'vee seen you do was during the adventures of the windswift, the party split 5 ways and yet you kept that session going so smoothly, jumping van character to character is such a way everyone was kept engaged with such skill that single example has been my unicorn to chase. I have grown as a gm over the years following your advise and have made mistakes trying to follow your advise at a table that didn't mesh well with the style i was trying to use. in any ways you have improved my skills as a gm and turned me down a path were i will gm every week and continue to do so happily for years to come thanks you very much, have the greatest and happiest of gaming and I hope your new endevors be as succesful and impactful to peopla as this channel was to me. Thank you
Your videos were instrumental in instilling me with the confidence to lead my own game! (A game that was supposed to be two sessions long and is now finally about to wrap up after running for almost 5 years, by the way) Thank you so much for everything you've done and all the people you've inspired and empowered to explore their own stories, and even learn a bit about themselves in the process.
It has been an honor to learn from you, game with you, and see the amazing person that you are grow and change, I am thrilled to see what new worlds you shall conquer :)
Man, you have a great body of work to be proud of
09:40 "I say hello to-..."
I got Uber Eats, lol
I got boxershorts... 😂
Hey! I started GMing in 2020, and you were my primary mentor. It’s truly one of my favorite things to do, and now I’ve run games for first timers, seasoned players, and total strangers at conferences and game shops. I’m so so glad that this channel existed to get me from there to here, and I cannot thank you enough. Very best wishes!
I started dming about 10 years ago and your videos were great learnings and ideas for me. So thank you for that. Haven't always agreed with you or your ideas but I've learned a lot and had a lot of fun.
I’m livid that the algorithm hasn’t been putting you in my feed. Discovered you around covid, I think? Maybe a bit before. And I’ve loved everything I’ve seen. Thank you for making me a better gm
6:04 this is really odd to me, I've never heard of RUclips limiting what you can do with a 2nd channel. At least here in the US, it's pretty normal right now for gaming RUclipsrs to make a second channel because the second channel has way better ability to find new people and rack of views.
He has to be using hyperbole. "RUclips" I think is the dropping viewer base
@@erichjohnheller2373 I disagree. I think he’s literally talking about RUclips the company because he talked about going into their London offices
Sadly RUclips just wants quantity regardless of quality. It's a crap business model, and loads of creators who should be allowed a platform are being, as you said, "culled. Shunted off. Etc.."
Thank you very much! Your videos have been part of my path deeper into the world of role-playing. I have received a lot of clarity and reassurance from you about what I like and what is important to me. Best wishes!
Like many others, my wife and I picked up DND during Covid and I very distinctly running across your channel and have followed you since then. It was a trainwreck trying to DM LMOP for my one player (my wife). But I know that you have helped me becoming a better GM. Thank you for all the advice and videos - I think you have truly guided many of us in our TTRPG journeys.
I know absolutely nothing about star trek, I know that I will be subscribing to you yet again due to how wonderful you are.
I wish you all the best!
I'm just happy to have learned so much. One of the things I can distinctly remember learning from you is how to better run collosal monster encounters and make them feel impactful. It was very important to my setting at the time, and I stumbled across your channel seemingly by coincidence. Personally, I don't think there are such things, but regardless of that it helped me immensely, as well as your other many many guides and techniques. Thanks for showing us how to be a great gm!
I'd like to say thank you for what you've done over the last ten years. I started my journey in learning on how to be a great GM with your channel in the very beginning of 2014. Thanks to you, not only have I become an amazing GM through your tips and tricks, but now have a wonderful group of friends. This group of friends I have are going to be my groomsmen for my upcoming wedding. I'm sad to hear you go, but will always recommend people who are looking to becoming great GMs themselves to your channel.
Thank you sir, and god speed to you in your next journey!
I discovered your channel when I was just looking for fantasy content. You inspired me to give Game Mastering a shot. I fell in love with the hobby. I learned a lot about story telling, I learned how to run games, I got in touch with old friends, I met some new friends, and I started volunteering to run games at the local library. Thank you Guy. Thank you to everyone who made this channel possible. You changed my life in the best way.
Thank you for all you've done for the roleplaying community! Your channel was a huge inspiration for me to start my own channel about Horror Roleplaying games, which ended up being a catalyst for a new career. I'm excited to hear you will still be in the RUclips space, and good luck with your new channels!
Thank you for all that you have shared. I became a more confident DM through some of your videos, and as with any good teacher, I began needing you less and less as time went on. I hope for your happiness, prosperity, and adventure going forward into the future. Thank you so much!
Your videos have helped me improve as a GM & player and I will continue to refer to them when I need inspiration for as long as the channel stays up. My table thanks you
I have learned so much from this channel. I will admit that I have not watched as many videos lately. But this was a huge part of my growth as a GM. Thanks
You're the first guy I found when I started game mastering 5 years ago. This channel gave me the confidence and a jumping off point for my first adventure! Thanks, Guy. 👍
When I was running my first game, I struggled a lot the first session. Then I found this channel and binged so many videos. The next session my players were so impressed that I'd improved as a gm so quickly. That game lasted nearly a year and we actually saw it to completion and I'm fairly confident that without your videos that wouldn't have been possible.
While I haven't watched as much recently (haven't gmed anything in a good while sadly) I will always remember how much this channel helped me when I was starting out and am so thankful to you for making it. Best of luck with your future endeavors and know that at least one viewer had their entire gming career massively improved thanks to you. Thank you so much and happy new year.
Hi,
Just want to say „thank you for all the amazing content“. All your videos, regarding Player and GM improvement, were extremly interesting and helpful (as far as i remember 😊). I watched all of your Fantasy campains and every week I am looking forward to a relaxed friday evening, watching the duskmourne chronicles together with my wife.
Thank you ❤️
