9:19 Thanks for the mention Alex and welcome back! 🎉 I’m sure you will going to enjoy my genre blend wide ride, cos it kida short and fast paced. But, it’s not even close for a transformers thing (oh god) just call it ‘cyber leviathan’ or ‘mech creature’ for now 😅 Cheers!
Not gonna lie, I got a very big smile on my face when I saw this notification pop up on my phone!! Good to have you back, Alex 🤩 Love to hear that you've just been enjoying so many other hobbies while you were away, DMing sounds so much fun. Feel free to upload as sporadically as you want, no pressure. We'll be here to support you whenever you feel like sharing anything! ;)
Love to see you back at it, and now that I have my own channel I have a whole new level of respect for just the pure time and effort it takes to film and release even the most lightly edited videos. That’s so cool that your DMing, and those guide books look siiiick. I just read and enjoyed Frugal Wizard, so I hope that one works for you too!
I hope I enjoy it too! I feel like as long as you're enjoying spending the time on the channel then it will continue to do well. I sort of lost the passion for it for a bit but I'm excited to get back into it.
Omg- a huge welcome back Alex- I was literally just thinking today that I have missed your videos and content- talk about spooky... I'm so glad you are enjoying D&D.
Welcome back, Alex! Sounds like you've been having fun with D&D, especially if you've gone all the way to becoming a DM. I too only read the Witcher short story collections and still haven't dived into the novels, but I hope to get there someday, and I also have a ton of self-published fantasy to read. Best wishes for your reads!
Welcome back! Hope you continue enjoying DMing for D&D. I'm all for reading books at a pace that matches the reader's lifestyle and enjoyment level. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the final The Dark Tower book!
Welcome back! Frugal Wizard's Handbook is the only Secret Project thats not cosmere related. I put off reading it until a few days ago and am about 1/4 into it. It's interesting so far.
Nice to see you back. Life happens. It's ok to take a break. I feel it's a task if you're not into something you used to enjoy for the moment. I'm like that, too. I'm also a mood reader.
@alexnieves I totally understand that my life has been busy since I last made videos. Kids, life, jobs. It took over. I may also come back to making videos next year, hopefully.I have a lot of book stuff I want to show and talk on the books I have since read.
Great to have you back! I’ve missed your videos and those bookshelves even though I do go back to your Dresden Files videos every time I finish the next installment. I have also been wanting to get back into D&D but my reading wants have been getting in the way. Beginning the midway point in Malazan and having both Wheel of Time & The Realm of the Elderlings waiting for me on my bookshelves has made it difficult to get started. Why? Because if I don’t DM, my friends won’t and being Dungeon Master takes time and planning as you well know. Anyways, glad that you are back and all is well.🤓
I know … I just felt that I would feel left out of the loop if I don’t read them and my favorite book tubers did a great job selling me on those books. But, I do need to make the time to get back into D&D. I can’t read Malazan and not think of D&D. Did you watch the D&D movie? I loved the D&D cartoon characters cameo in it.
This video popped up in my recommended list and I'm glad it did. Reading is important; however, it's important to take breaks as well. Getting into D&D sounds like a really good way to expand your social horizons. I play a lot of TCGS outside of my reading hobby I also draw as well. Reading to me is a relaxing journey to get lost in. Just keep in mind it's important to rest and to take breaks when needed. A story is supposed to be enjoyed and entertaining. 😊❤📚
I’ve gotten into ttrpgs as well. Unfortunately don’t have any friends into it so I’ve been playing on different discord servers. Those ttrpgs books are soooo expensive but so beautiful
Hope things are going well with DMing! Collaborative storytelling is such a unique and rewarding experience. Been playing and running various games for many years now, and I have so many more campaign and character ideas for the future! Are you running a specific module? There are some pretty great ones.
It's been really awesome and the collaborative storytelling aspect is so fun. Since my buddies and I have never played before I'm running The Dragons of Stormwreck Isle but I've found plenty of spots throughout the campaign to tweak and add my own flavor to it. It's been awesome and has me pretty pumped to create my own campaigns. Do you find it easier to create campaigns since you're already a writer? I assume that it would but it's probably still a different mindset you have to get into.
@@alexnieves Nice! Yeah, modules are a great way to familiarize yourself with the system and start branching out into original stuff. I don't really know if "easier" is the word, though it does flex adjacent brain muscles. I think the hardest bit for me has been the actual gameplay aspects, but I do think running games (and even just playing and exploring a single character at a time) have helped to make me a better writer. We can but hope!
Welcome back, I found out about booktube and started making my own videos right before you took your break. I wanna start the dark tower but I hear I should read salems lot first?
Welcome to booktube! You honestly don't need to read anything but the DT books but Salem's Lot is a fantastic book and where I started with King. It definitely ties into the series but not until much later.
Welcome back! I agree about Song of Susannah. I got through that one as quickly as I possibly could do I could move on. I’m waiting for the Lonesome Crown audiobook to release.

Cyber Leviathan sounds cool. We'll go with that!

Dude, great to see you back! Hope you had some much-needed time away.
Good to be back!

Thanks author Philip Chase! Hope everything is well with you sir.
@@alexnieves I’m staying out of mischief, for the most part.
Welcome back!
Thanks so much!
I’m late to the party but glad to see you back. Agree about the combat codes cover.
Better late than never!
Yea!! Welcome back!! 🎉
🥳🥳🥳
Welcome back! Hope you continue enjoying DMing for D&D. I'm all for reading books at a pace that matches the reader's lifestyle and enjoyment level. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the final The Dark Tower book!
Thanks Johanna! I've heard the ending is pretty controversial amongst fans so I'm very curious to see how I feel about it.
Welcome back, goodman.
Hail Libertas
Welcome. Back.
You too ya handsome devil
Welcome back! Frugal Wizard's Handbook is the only Secret Project thats not cosmere related. I put off reading it until a few days ago and am about 1/4 into it. It's interesting so far.
Oh that's cool since most of what he writes now ties into the Cosmere.
welcome back, king 👑😂
I also took a break & came back, sometimes that's necessary! happy reading 📚
Much appreciated. 🎉
The hand fighting is awesome in Combat Codes. They break down thumb war techniques and grip for arm wrestling.
Hell yeah
This shot is dope as hell. Also, good to see you!
Hi Jimmy!
He does exist! Welcome back!
I am ALIVE
Welcome back
Thanks!
Welcome back! Don't burn yourself out trying to get everything read and reviewed. Haha
Oh I hope I know better by now.
Welcome back good sir!
Thanks Andrew
Look forward to seeing what you’ve got in store, my man!
Haven't decided yet! Hah
Welcome back Alex! I’ll be excited to hear your thoughts on Dark Tower once you finish.
I'm excited and worried to finish, haha. No clue how it's going to come to an end.
Nice to see you back. Life happens. It's ok to take a break. I feel it's a task if you're not into something you used to enjoy for the moment. I'm like that, too. I'm also a mood reader.
Yeah I just got busy and to the point where trying to do TH-cam wasn't where my focus could be.

That's a lot of big epic fantasy to read my friend. DMing is super fun though, I love prepping for every Sunday night for our games.
I know … I just felt that I would feel left out of the loop if I don’t read them and my favorite book tubers did a great job selling me on those books. But, I do need to make the time to get back into D&D. I can’t read Malazan and not think of D&D. Did you watch the D&D movie? I loved the D&D cartoon characters cameo in it.
Hey - nice to see you again 👋

I’ve gotten into ttrpgs as well. Unfortunately don’t have any friends into it so I’ve been playing on different discord servers. Those ttrpgs books are soooo expensive but so beautiful
They are far less expensive on Amazon, haha. I have them digitally too though.
Did you become a DM by default because none of your friends would do it, or was it your choice? 😂
@@ReadingAde I dove right into DMing hah. I wanted to run the game and it's been a blast.
Welcome to the forever DM club 🙌
Happy to join!

Welcome back! I agree about Song of Susannah. I got through that one as quickly as I possibly could do I could move on.
I’m waiting for the Lonesome Crown audiobook to release.
As consistent as The Dark Tower is... That book was a miss
D&D is awesome. Did you really just go from never playing to trying to DM? Brave. I still don't want to DM and I've played quite a few times 🤣
Indeed I did, I honestly jumped at it. I was like guys let's play D&D and I'll DM lol.
Nice I also play DND lol
NOICE
Wait what is this
The matrix?
This guy dnf'd empire of the vampire booooooooo
Why are you boooing I'm right! 🙃
