RPG Storytime is my Youtube show where I take the stories from role playing games I've been running and turn them into narrative stories complete with sound effects, music, etc. and visually told with images and miniatures.
I feel a bit guilty for being so much more excited about doing videos using toys to tell stories about games rather than writing books. After all, I'm in my 40s and should be striving for something more adult, shouldn't I?
But in thinking through why I enjoy it so much, I've come to realize just why I enjoy it so much. RPG Storytime is a combination of my three favorite things to do,writing, filmmaking,and gaming. I get to create a cooperative story with a group of people playing a game. I then get to write it up into story format. And finally I have to figure out how to tell that story visually.
I do wish more people would see them. I've been discouraged by the small number of viewers, and it sometimes makes me wonder why I'm spending time on this. But I can't help myself. Even now, I'm wanting to get through this blog posting so I can continue to work on Star Wars. It's a thrill I get like no other; probably because it combines everything I enjoy doing.
You can find all of the RPG Storytime webisodes on my channel Bandwagon Games.
