Good advice. More of that pipe-smoking silhouette would be awesome too.
Old School? Back in my day we just called it "School."

Thank you! These instructive videos don't get as many views as my rants against WotC and/or Wokeness, so if you can, spread the word and share the video!

I enjoy your instructional videos more than your social and political ones.  Thanks for making them.

I'm in the process of making my own game/setting and the issue of making random tables was a bit nebulous for me.  The time was impeccable.  It's also worth pointing out that there are a lot of "how to GM" but not a lot of actual game design material  available.  You're helping create your own competitors.

Terrible idea, overwhelming majority of ttrpg players can't pass Voight-Kampff test.

I can take or leave the rants, I don't see myself running or playing whatever edition in the forseeable future, perhaps ever.

Concrete advice, however- that's useful. The GM of the current campaign I'm playing in suggested BoF as the next one and the walkthrough videos are very helpful.
