No question, just thanks for kicking off and inspiring so many. I'm sure I'm not the only one who saw a thumbnail, got hooked, and have since really enjoyed this side of RPG playing.
Glad you are doing well man. I have to admit; I am not a flat-lander. Moved to Deadmonton six years ago. Just...missed mountains, trees, and the ocean. Moved back to Vancouver Island. Like, I think I legitimately had an anxiety attack last year, and had to drive to the mountains, at like 3 pm on a sunday. Now doing something I never imagined I would be doing: airbrushing fishing lures. Eventually I will get a craft space going again, got some ideas crawling in the recesses of my mind. Take care, and have a merry christmas!
I love little vids like this. The crafting is what brought me here, but the real life is what keeps me watching. it's nice knowing the dude at the other end is a real life human. Hope you have an awesome holiday season and i'm already looking forward to your vids in the new year!
Man, I get that this is a “lazy” video, but I really appreciate you sharing about your process, life and struggles. It helps a lot. I wish you continued success.
As I sit here building a whole ruined city for an upcoming dnd game I look to my right and see a much loved and arguably over used set of dungeon tiles cut with a bad hobby knife and painted a charmingly generic grey. Its where I started out and every step of my modelling journey since has been thanks to those tiles and the friendly Canadian guy who explained how to make them on TH-cam.
I have been watching you for years and I have finally got into the hobby of crafting terrain and such. I was reluctant due to having tremors, but tbh its been nice seeing someone that also has it, and still able to make crazy stuff. so its been helping me to get over that panic of starting the hobby due to it. So, just want to say Thanks.
Root Beer!! Yes!! I knew we had more in common. Great video, always nice to learn more about one of my favorite TH-camrs. The aquarium hobby is pretty amazing, very relaxing. Have a great holiday.
I too have hand tremors which started as I was getting into my mid teens. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the courage to re-enter the miniature painting hobby after a 20+ year of active avoidance and telling myself I just wasn't capable! The reality of it was probably so insignificant that if I ignored it and continued to paint I would have very quickly overcome the issue, but you know what other kids are like "what's wrong with your hands? they are like my grand dads" etc. which made it seem a lot worse than it was. At the time as a kid within a year or so I had gone from having minis displayed in my local GW to being nearly unable to block out main colours with accuracy (or so it seemed). This just totally destroyed my ability and confidence to continue. Really put me on a downer and ended up giving all my minis away to the local GW players and just gave up completely. Thankfully the tremors haven't progressed significantly over the years and seems to be no worse yours. (I turned 42 this year) Oh that is also so weird, I also wanted go into graphic design when I was in school but again went a different route as I felt unable too as a result, back then it was all pencil and paper work couldn't pull out the old graphics tablet and mash away on the computer. (A mouse was the pinnacle of technology with the good'ol Acorn Archimedes) LMFAO, ahh a simpler time!
Hiya Jeremy, I hope you and your familly are doing well. No specific question or anything, just wanted to wish you à very cosy, happy and fun holliday season and all the best for the coming year
Ps if you would like to check out some different music you could listent to some thylacine, especially his "Roads: vol 1" Album, I think you might enjoy it.
You've had an incredible year. Lots of new ideas, and lots of great experiments in terrain. It's a ton of work to make the stuff, let alone capture it in video and publish it for us. I so appreciate your weekly vids, of all kinds. Thank you, merry Christmas, and enjoy your rest!
No question. Just a big thank for making your videos and including us along the way on your journey. Thoroughly enjoy and look forward to them. Thanks again.
If you feel burnout, I agree with other commenters: Q&As episodes will always be something I enjoy seeing. I'd also love to see you talk about materials you use more in depth, and more of the testing craft products videos. Seeing you use the pastels and oils and discovering new materials are some of my personal favorites.
Keep rockin' it Jeremy, you are awesome. You got me started back in the early days of your channel and my builds just keep getting better and making my and my D&D group excited. Put your family and health first. And your channel will be better for it as a result. You make the world a much better place!
There are a very few channels on here that I know that, whatever pops up from them, I'm going to watch it and feel a little happier and better about life. It's not just the content it's the people behind the content too. BMC is absolutely one of those channels. Thank you for that. Also, thanks for the Bob Vylan recommendation, just my kind of thing.
Thank you for your honesty and to hear that your live is staing on track. You motivate, help and teach allot of people but your owne health alwsys cimes first. Please keep on doiing what you do so good and thank you for your wonderfull videos, creations and inspiration. Hsppy hollydays to you and your family + cats, lol.
Cats are idel!!!! Thank you for this honest open video. Big moral support from me to you with all problems & stress, you talked (and actally did not talked)
Not accurate at all actually. The United States government spends trillions a dollars a year to provide healthcare to those that can't afford it. Per person, it's about the same as Canada. I have been an adult in the US for 20 years; I have been in practically every income bracket; and I have never had any issues receiving healthcare. I also have a son with type 1 diabetes so he requires a lot of healthcare. I think those comments are largely misinformed.
I don't know. How many Canadians have died waiting for medical care vs Americans? No system is perfect, but my point was that American healthcare is already hugely socialized. Poor people & lower middle class people can get free state health insurance. @@BlackMagicCraftOfficial
I just wanna say thank you for inspiring many! I got my first dnd model because of you, that model being a shipwreck reverent :) your always keeping me inspired and eager to try more!
Just wanted to echo what so many here have already said. Huge thanks for what you do. Just got into dnd this year, started running a home brewed campaign, and your channel has been a massive inspiration on that front. The group of friends I play with were blown away when I brought out the first pieces of xps scatter terrain, and a lot of that comes down to you and your videos. Keep up the awesome work man!!! I'll keep watching from out here in BC
Dude I love Bob Vylan, and I really wasn't expected to hear them represented here 😅 great to see my favourite hobby youtuber has good music taste as well 😉
Dude the aquarium thing is such a rabbit hole. When I lived in Japan I got OBSESSED with aquariums and live plants/fish. I had to translate everything so it was kinda more fun too. I loved planting and watching my cute shrimp and tetras swimming around. I got up to like 4 tanks before we moved. I want another one now so bad.
I remember the first video I saw Black Magic Craft was you drinking beer and crafting. Never crossed my mind that I would be creating content. You helped me a great deal in my journey and recovery from a devastating car accident. Thank you JEremy
I've said it before, but I say it again - your build-videos are such an inspiration. I would never have bought a Proxxon, if it wasn't for your enthusiasm and videos that shows how easy it is to build things. Great work!
Question at 5:50, that person is totally a fan of the Painting Phase . . . Absolutely loving the 'back to basics' videos of late. And, OMG, more videos on using that double-sided craft tape for building - that stuff is amazing (especially with hot glue or PVA reinforcement after)
Don't discount videos like this. In my opinion the willingness you have to share as much of yourself as you do is part of the charm to your content. We get to connect with your creative process and the ups and downs that go with it. Thanks for what you do, it keeps me inspired. And yes, root beer is the superior pop!
It’s been SO LONG since you did a Q&A! Enjoyed the video immensely! It was you and Mike at his Terranscapes channel that got me into crafting terrain. I’ll be eternally grateful to him and to you! Glad things are going well. I appreciate you, Jeremy!
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Me too! I hope that he’s doing well. His projects and techniques were WAY over my head when I first found his videos, but I appreciated the way he approached his builds from a problem solving perspective and how he was willing to experiment to find a solution. Because I watched Mike’s stuff, the algorithm eventually recommended your channel. You approached things in a similar way and showed that there WERE projects I could tackle with a few supplies, the right attitude, and a little patience (individual foam bricks, anyone?!). I’ve been having crafting fun ever since. Thanks so much! Best wishes to you and your family.
I always love these type of videos from creators. Gives us viewers an inside look at who you truly are. I love your content and have been an avid follower for a few years. Thank you so much for all you do!
Thank you. I did find it entertaining, but also helpful. I started into crafting when I stumbled upon your videos. I've since made it a little side business, and I'm enjoying it. It has been reassuring to hear that you deal with a lot of the same things I have (and one of the questions you answered was one I had asked - though I was doubtless not alone asking it). It's great to hear from the other ends of this, and I really wouldn't mind if you did more of them. It's not something we hear to much about. Great stuff, sir. Keep on inspiring!
Oh hey, not sure if I already said this Jeremy, but my 10yr old loves the Idols of Torment printed mat so much that we’ve been using it for our Warhammer games. Just wanted to let you know how much we both enjoy how that turned out!
Not trying to take the spotlight here but I'm a father of a tombstone so watching the video that he did working on a project with his daughter, I really enjoyed. ❤ I'm sure it's a hassle editing footage to keep their identities out but seeing a few more videos like that with the mrs or kid(s) would be fun and light hearted, IMO. Some of these questions were answered in other videos throughout the years but I suppose it was cool having them all in one video is good for new watchers.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial lost a child , this january he'd be 10. A lot of people I've met who've also lost call them tombstones so I've just taken to saying it aswell, I suppose. In any case that video was released on a particularly bad year for me and kept me going, so thank you.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial might just be a phrase for those who are 'in the club' -atleast down here, stateside. IDK. But in any case, your content is great. People I work with are into table top and I've been telling them about IoT. I think my boss is keeping tabs on it so maybe after this recent d&d adventure ends she'll want to get into the echo with some of the other managers.
Hi. Im an introvert too (this commentary is my way of communicating to the world) and I love spending my time at home (flexibility is great), but I'm not that good in monetizing my hobbies (I wrote some RPG materials for DTRPG) - the thing is I really understand your "meeting people all the time is not that great" attitude. I love the "Ultimate Machine" tattoo story - I don't have any tattoos, but I think that is great, that you carry this one for both of you. I disagree with the Cola/Pepsi thing. I can't drink Coca-cola, because of diabetes, but I liked it, and we had a special meetings just to drink a little bottle of Coca-Cola every Thursday for years (a long time ago), and Pepsi... I did not drink Pepsi for more than 30 years. And it is good to heat, that you're more relaxed and the tremors are not that much of an issue now. I'm fighting the "burnout" (more like trying to do some miniatures work) all the time - if I start, there is no problem in continuing, but "the starting" is difficult. It was good to hear from you. Cheers!
Aquascape....we used to have several 50-75 gallon tanks. But when we learned that our twins were going to be medically fragile for a while we sold it off to free up time to care for kids. I still miss the fish, but love my kids more!
Thanks for your openness about the challenges of being an online creator. As someone about to make xmas ornaments with my kids I enjoyed the snowman vid very much!
The memento tattoo of your friend is such a nice thing. I love when tattoos have meaning like that. Thanks so much for all the great videos and inspirations and I hope that you and your family have happy holidays and a great new year!
"I don't really like livestream D&D games, I think it's weird..." THANK YOU! It really does seem weird watching other people play D&D. I tried watching a couple of different groups and I just couldn't watch it. It was too weird. One group I played with when I was MUCH younger had a running joke about archways. Someone always had to bring up cookies any time there was an archway. Yes, it was stupid. But we all laughed. To anyone else it's just stupid and not even funny. Then again I'd much rather play a game of football than watch other people play. That's always seemed weird to me, too. Sure, they're amazing athletes. Great. I'd rather play the game and suck at it than watch.
I LOVE BOB VYLAN! made me so happy to hear you talk about him. this type of video was unexpected from you but i really liked it! feel free to do more stuff like this in the future
Thanks for all your videos! We are beginners and the track is large. We want to test the track to see if we wired a section correctly. It is dcc. Can I just put a 8 volt battery on the track and see if the train runs? We are new at soldering too. 75 years old and have lots to learn! Skip
Hi Jeremy, I am Kevin a journalist/video editor in Shreveport, LA. I’ve been watching your channel since around Covid. It has inspired me to start my own. It only has two videos but more are already on the way. Which is one reason I’m reaching out to you. One of the things I needed was a round table base to show off the finished product. I am using your caulk technique to created a cobble stone base. I bought the green stuff world cobble stone, wood plank, and flagstone rollers. Making and painting it is going to be my fourth video giving you credit for the concept if that’s ok. And secondly, I have written an article on the first box set of Dungeons and Dragons, and it posted on the stations website that I work for. I would be honored if you took a few minutes to read it and let me know what you thought about it. Is there a way for me to send you the article?
Try some salt water fish. It's not as hard as you think. Sgt. Majors are like salt water guppies: They'll live in any kind of salt water. There are quite a few salt water fish that are very hardy. Also, Sgt. majors are not $200 each and they don't grow to 18" long so that you absolutely have to have a 200 gallon tank. Aside from that... I don't know what kind of fish you favor but maybe try some cardinal tetras. They look like neon tetras but the stripes go all the way from nose to tail. They're rather more delicate, than neons though. Nothing better than a school of twenty cardinal tetras swimming through your tank. Happy to hear you're using live plants! So much better in every way! (Beware the duckweed... And snails.)
That's great, @@BlackMagicCraftOfficial! If you can keep cardinals alive angelfish should be easy, too. Discus... I don't know. Those were a bit too rich for my bank account. Oh, I don't know how much you know about this business... I used to be a bit... Obsessed with fish tanks. Always get the longer tank that isn't as tall if you have a choice. More surface area for volume and better light for your plants because there's less water to go through. If you decide to try salt go for the least expensive fish. They're also captive bred so they're not being pulled off of some reef half-way around the world while a third of them die in shipping. A lot of the really expensive salt fish _can't_ be kept alive for more than a year or so because you can't really duplicate the exact conditions they need to live so the less expensive ones are rather more ethical, as well. Oh, and while you may have made this episode as a break I thought it was great. Nice to know a bit about the actual person I'm listening to.
Oh, @@BlackMagicCraftOfficial, be careful with the fish tanks or one day you'll find yourself looking for space for a fifth tank and thinking that maybe the wall the TV is on in the living room would be a great spot for a built-in 250 gallon tank. LOL
Part of the skills I’ve learned in creating terrain or builds has made me wonder if there is a way to create water-safe builds! I haven’t found anything that I would trust as a secure coating or materials. If you know of any resources or channels that look at that. :)
What is your white whale of crafting that you would love to tackle if you had the time and resources? Examples: Imperator titan, imperial palace, minas tirith, ect.
Thanks so much for sharing your creativity, craft, and humanity! I think we should normalize anyone with a Patreon taking December off, or at least doing easier things. The pace of creative output is so intense that the creatives deserve a rest and the audience deserves a chance to catch up.
As for burnout, I think all TH-camr's should feel free to do the easy videos or just take a break once in a while. I see so many that do video after video where they seem to be one upping their previous work and that just seems a recipe for a total crash. Anyway, if you are doing videos regularly then simple is great. I guess unfortunately the algorithm may disagree but I am starting to have to skip longer, more involved videos from my favorite creators because I just don't have enough time to watch them all.
Are you going to do a video on how to build a gaming table? I remember watching an old video where you talked about your gaming table and how you wanted to improve the build. Have you already made a new one? If so, could you tell us about it?
I just use modular work desks from ikea now as they work better for the double duty purpose of crafting and filming as I don’t have room for a dedicated gaming table.

Same saw a vid got hooked, brought a proxxon and never looked back 😆
So funny to me when TH-camrs knock the q&a videos as being lazy. I find them so interesting and entertaining. Idols of Torment looks so rad.
No doubt. I wonder if they could meet a person and still ridicule their process, especially when the process is obviously working!
Glad you are doing well man. I have to admit; I am not a flat-lander. Moved to Deadmonton six years ago. Just...missed mountains, trees, and the ocean. Moved back to Vancouver Island.

@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial lost a child , this january he'd be 10. A lot of people I've met who've also lost call them tombstones so I've just taken to saying it aswell, I suppose.
In any case that video was released on a particularly bad year for me and kept me going, so thank you.
Ah, very sorry to hear that. I’d never heard that phrase before.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial might just be a phrase for those who are 'in the club' -atleast down here, stateside. IDK.
But in any case, your content is great. People I work with are into table top and I've been telling them about IoT. I think my boss is keeping tabs on it so maybe after this recent d&d adventure ends she'll want to get into the echo with some of the other managers.
Appreciate these kinds of videos bud. Especially when it’s from someone I’m not super familiar with.
No questions just want to say thank you for all the inspiration you have given me over past couple years since I started painting and building things
Thank you for a great video.
Hi. Im an introvert too (this commentary is my way of communicating to the world) and I love spending my time at home (flexibility is great), but I'm not that good in monetizing my hobbies (I wrote some RPG materials for DTRPG) - the thing is I really understand your "meeting people all the time is not that great" attitude. I love the "Ultimate Machine" tattoo story - I don't have any tattoos, but I think that is great, that you carry this one for both of you. I disagree with the Cola/Pepsi thing. I can't drink Coca-cola, because of diabetes, but I liked it, and we had a special meetings just to drink a little bottle of Coca-Cola every Thursday for years (a long time ago), and Pepsi... I did not drink Pepsi for more than 30 years. And it is good to heat, that you're more relaxed and the tremors are not that much of an issue now. I'm fighting the "burnout" (more like trying to do some miniatures work) all the time - if I start, there is no problem in continuing, but "the starting" is difficult. It was good to hear from you. Cheers!
Awesome video thanks for posting this man long time viewer ❤🙏 keep it up!
I love the honesty and insight. You got me into crafting and your content continues to inspire me. Forever grateful!
I like Suicide Commando too 👍
You’re one of my favorite YT creators!
Love you mate, very happy with the kickstarter - have a great Christmas
O! With the cheese idea, perhaps a structure for eating, like a center pierce, your art in food @ crafting dungeons.
Aquascape....we used to have several 50-75 gallon tanks. But when we learned that our twins were going to be medically fragile for a while we sold it off to free up time to care for kids.
I still miss the fish, but love my kids more!
Thanks for your openness about the challenges of being an online creator.
As someone about to make xmas ornaments with my kids I enjoyed the snowman vid very much!
Thank you for the Chat, your Idols Scenery is Awesome.
I love the Bridge build.
Am hoping to get the Rulebook for Christmas as a treat for myself 😂
The memento tattoo of your friend is such a nice thing. I love when tattoos have meaning like that. Thanks so much for all the great videos and inspirations and I hope that you and your family have happy holidays and a great new year!
"I don't really like livestream D&D games, I think it's weird..."
THANK YOU!
It really does seem weird watching other people play D&D. I tried watching a couple of different groups and I just couldn't watch it. It was too weird.
One group I played with when I was MUCH younger had a running joke about archways. Someone always had to bring up cookies any time there was an archway. Yes, it was stupid. But we all laughed. To anyone else it's just stupid and not even funny.
Then again I'd much rather play a game of football than watch other people play. That's always seemed weird to me, too. Sure, they're amazing athletes. Great. I'd rather play the game and suck at it than watch.
I LOVE BOB VYLAN! made me so happy to hear you talk about him. this type of video was unexpected from you but i really liked it! feel free to do more stuff like this in the future
I like them fish and them cats and them aquarium plants!

It's great to see and hear from you that you are doing well. All I can say is thanks for the videos and a happy new year!
What a warm and honest Q&A. Good stuff, do more of these
Love to learn about my favorite creators! Awesome vid this week.
Merry Christmas to you. Thanks for all the videos over the last couple years!
Thanks for this AMA, always great to spend some time chatting like this :) Congrats on the game!
Thanks for all your videos! We are beginners and the track is large. We want to test the track to see if we wired a section correctly. It is dcc. Can I just put a 8 volt battery on the track and see if the train runs? We are new at soldering too. 75 years old and have lots to learn! Skip
Yes, it was fun, lots to be proud of. :)
Dude.. just checked in with you and the channel for the first time in a while.. congrats on the success, and growth! tremendous stuff.
Great video thank you

Idols of Torment looks awesome, and I'd love to get my hands on a starter box! Otherwise I'll have to look into 3D printers...
Hi Jeremy, I am Kevin a journalist/video editor in Shreveport, LA.
I’ve been watching your channel since around Covid. It has inspired me to start my own. It only has two videos but more are already on the way.
Which is one reason I’m reaching out to you. One of the things I needed was a round table base to show off the finished product. I am using your caulk technique to created a cobble stone base. I bought the green stuff world cobble stone, wood plank, and flagstone rollers. Making and painting it is going to be my fourth video giving you credit for the concept if that’s ok.
And secondly, I have written an article on the first box set of Dungeons and Dragons, and it posted on the stations website that I work for.
I would be honored if you took a few minutes to read it and let me know what you thought about it.
Is there a way for me to send you the article?
Damn dude I am glad you exist
Try some salt water fish. It's not as hard as you think. Sgt. Majors are like salt water guppies: They'll live in any kind of salt water. There are quite a few salt water fish that are very hardy. Also, Sgt. majors are not $200 each and they don't grow to 18" long so that you absolutely have to have a 200 gallon tank.
Aside from that... I don't know what kind of fish you favor but maybe try some cardinal tetras. They look like neon tetras but the stripes go all the way from nose to tail. They're rather more delicate, than neons though. Nothing better than a school of twenty cardinal tetras swimming through your tank.
Happy to hear you're using live plants! So much better in every way! (Beware the duckweed... And snails.)
Got 10 cardinal tetras in mine! One day I might try salt but don’t have space for a second tank right now.
That's great, @@BlackMagicCraftOfficial! If you can keep cardinals alive angelfish should be easy, too. Discus... I don't know. Those were a bit too rich for my bank account.
Oh, I don't know how much you know about this business... I used to be a bit... Obsessed with fish tanks. Always get the longer tank that isn't as tall if you have a choice. More surface area for volume and better light for your plants because there's less water to go through.
If you decide to try salt go for the least expensive fish. They're also captive bred so they're not being pulled off of some reef half-way around the world while a third of them die in shipping. A lot of the really expensive salt fish _can't_ be kept alive for more than a year or so because you can't really duplicate the exact conditions they need to live so the less expensive ones are rather more ethical, as well.
Oh, and while you may have made this episode as a break I thought it was great. Nice to know a bit about the actual person I'm listening to.
Oh, @@BlackMagicCraftOfficial, be careful with the fish tanks or one day you'll find yourself looking for space for a fifth tank and thinking that maybe the wall the TV is on in the living room would be a great spot for a built-in 250 gallon tank. LOL
Aquascaping, nice! That's an awesome casual hobby. I've been into that for about a decade :p
Part of the skills I’ve learned in creating terrain or builds has made me wonder if there is a way to create water-safe builds! I haven’t found anything that I would trust as a secure coating or materials. If you know of any resources or channels that look at that. :)
@@AVspectre I can't say I've ever tried to build submersible terrain. I just stick to rocks, driftwood and plants.
Love to see someone else from the miniatures hobby also catch the aquascaping bug :)
What is your white whale of crafting that you would love to tackle if you had the time and resources?
Examples: Imperator titan, imperial palace, minas tirith, ect.
Bucky O'Hare! Good lord, thought I was the only person to remember that cartoon
Thanks so much for sharing your creativity, craft, and humanity!
I think we should normalize anyone with a Patreon taking December off, or at least doing easier things. The pace of creative output is so intense that the creatives deserve a rest and the audience deserves a chance to catch up.
As for burnout, I think all TH-camr's should feel free to do the easy videos or just take a break once in a while. I see so many that do video after video where they seem to be one upping their previous work and that just seems a recipe for a total crash. Anyway, if you are doing videos regularly then simple is great. I guess unfortunately the algorithm may disagree but I am starting to have to skip longer, more involved videos from my favorite creators because I just don't have enough time to watch them all.
Are you going to do a video on how to build a gaming table? I remember watching an old video where you talked about your gaming table and how you wanted to improve the build. Have you already made a new one? If so, could you tell us about it?
I just use modular work desks from ikea now as they work better for the double duty purpose of crafting and filming as I don’t have room for a dedicated gaming table.
