[QUOTE="Hatmatter, post: 8487847, member: 75077"] I think Tulok the Barbarian's videos of approximating pop culture characters using D&D player character rules is marvelously entertaining and creative...he just does so many video characters with whom I am unfamiliar. Ted at Nerd Immersion does a nice job of reporting developments in D&D in a very timely (quick even) manner. He is frank that he critiques mechanics from his background as an optimizer, but he seems open-minded and engaged. Jim Davis (formerly with Pruett) at WebDm has great things to say about the game and Dungeon Mastering. The man is very insightful. Todd Kenreck is a bit of a cheerleader for Wizards, but he is thoughtful and obviously plays the game often and when he does videos with his wife (Megan, I think?), I find them engaging, filled with ideas, and I appreciate the fine production values of their videos. If someone wants to get into the nitty gritty of class features from an optimization perspective, the Dungeon Dudes seem to know that aspect of character mechanics inside and out. It is not generally not my cup of tea, but I occasionally watch one of their videos and get some ideas. Anyway, I would not consider any of these Youtube channels chaff. To tell you the truth, the amount of entertaining content and videos that people produce for free or for nominal reimbursement simply out of the love of their various hobbies (I am thinking beyond role-playing games here) is impressive to me. I appreciate the passion and engagement. [/QUOTE]
