Can't wait until you are on equal footing with channels like Jacob Geller and Razbuten, this channel's a real gem. Very thought provoking piece, now back to designing with this stuff in mind...
It's very impressive to see how you express complex concepts in a manner which is easy to grasp and still embodies the full weight of the idea. Keep up the good work! I especially loved your Troika! video and this one is another great one. You put so much of your personal experience, insights and the way you connect things into these videos that it feels truly raw...and that's beautiful.
I ended up spending most of my evening last night watching a bunch of your videos. I really loved this one in particular. Right place, right time kind of thing, too, as I just recently listened to the Gradient Descent episode of Between Two Cairns, and just flipped through my copy of Acid Death Fantasy on Wednesday. Great content.
It's a crime that this video does not have more views. I'm a veteran GM and always looking to up my game in terms of bringing my characters to life at the table and this is a succinct masterclass in both the joy and method of memorable role play.
've been organizing a wesmarches-styled rpg campaign using the Gradient Descent setting. When I saw Noriko's face at my recommended videos it freaked me out, thinking I was going crazy. Congratulations, you're awesome.
I see RPGs, Kentucky Route Zero, Disco Elysium I subscribe. I had never heard of Gradient Descent and Acid Death Fantasy... I'll definitely check them out!
I don’t know, I think a prompt like bag of your own shaved hair is equally as thought provoking, if not more so, than a love letter. This is all a simulation is as thought provoking as a postcard. Before I carry on, I realise that’s not entirely your point, but it does start mine. The point is that a prompt is thought provoking and can inspire someone to action beyond the general comfort of their own role. To say that the love letter is more so, or the postcard, says more about our own personal approach to role playing, or more importantly what we get from it, than the nature of one prompts strength over another… and more so, that my preference for the shaved bear with a bag of hair says more about mine. Okay, to be clear, this is not an attack on this video or your opinions on role playing, I entirely agree with this video, it’s incredible, as are all the points you make. This might be one of the best videos I have ever seen on the topic of role playing (and psychology if reading between the lines) But… I think a love letter, or a post card, is more “us”, you, me, or everyone, than a prompt like a bag of your own shaved hair, or this is all a simulation. A love letter, a post card, these are our world, it’s something we all know, we all at least comprehend, and so the “role” is not the same imaginative stretch, we just relate our world, our understanding, to a different setting. With a preference for those we want to draw our lives our memories in to this new world and explore how they might play out. As this video show, we just use our lives to fuel the fire of our role. As you highlight here, something like a love letter comes with baggage (the use of that word highlights the outlook on my own life I realise) from our world, our life, our experiences. And so it influences that role playing, we end up playing our role in a different costume, on a different stage, but it’s still our role. A shaved bear that carries a bag of his/her own shaved hair… an android that flat out realises this is (some sort of) a simulation, that takes a real step away from all…. This. Maybe in turn that makes Role playing hard, but for me that’s what makes role playing important. It’s the part that makes role playing a more important distraction than the likes of a computer game. Because role playing still allows us the space to breathe I don’t want to role play something I can live in this world, that can be the part of a world I have, or could, experience. If I want that I can do that, and if I don’t want that… I want to role play something beyond this existence (one if I am being honest, I do not really enjoy so much… no non, sop right there, this is not a cry for help, just an honest comment on how I personally see life.) Don’t get me wrong, like I said, this is not some comment on you’re wrong, I’m right. Role playing is this, or roll playing is that. The most important part of role playing, that often gets forgotten, is it’s yours, mine, everyone’s here. The power fantasy, the role, the min maxed, dice throwing, rule lawyering mechanics, or the rules light, story driven, prompt driven, live this world, that world, any world, real world, fantasy world, fairy like, dragon filled, shadow wrapped, horror feuded, depths of space, existential nightmare, theatre of the mind escapism. It’s all right and all important. Okay, I could go on, but all the way back to my original point. The prompt is the important part, which I think is the point you’re also making. Whatever the prompt might be. For you a love letter, for me a bag of shaved hair. So why all the waffle? I really needed to see this today, to hear this. I have been gearing up to start my own TH-cam channel, with a heavy (though not entirely) focus on Roleplaying. This was truly inspiring. Like I say, one of the best videos I have ever seen on the topic. It was just the prompt I needed to start playing out my role in the space. Thank you so much.
Bends irl is a creepy condition. You feel fine. You have to believe something is wrong with you. There's nitrogen in your blood. You are sick. Wait. Please. You are sick. I love the camera work. I felt both underwater and over pressured. Like a storm cloud moving so that it doesn't fall. Keep going. And thank you.
This video is god tier ttrpg content. It belongs in the hall of legends so all of our ancestors can see what mankind is capable of for all of time.
tysm for the kind words

Inspiring, emotional, and thoughtful beyond words.
This is a great video! The random character generation, the Disco Elysium part, and then the Mothership creepyness, all great!
Love what you're doing with this channel. I hope you keep at it :)

Just found you through your Neo-Nazi DnD video (wait that sounds wrong). Just wanted to say that you're my new favourate tabletop creator!

Oh, you really like FFX music. :P
What is the song that comes up at 00:56 called? I could swear I know, but can't put my finger on it
it's the Journey soundtrack!
@@snowttrpg Ah yeah of course! Thanks for the reply. Great video btw, I really enjoyed it a lot, definitely getting a sub from me
