This is less about YouTube (aside from signalling that my channel is mostly dormant when I'm not teaching or talking professionally) than about explaining where I'm going to experiment with putting some stuff up -- for free.

I've got samples of several of the kinds of things I want to entrust to readers over there: - reviews of "ancient" Actual Play - samples of experimental lyric essays on game play - other field notes from my research - teaching materials (coming this fall)

Up now: I've got my thoughts on "organizing" with @jdragsky.bsky.social the Bath Seven Part Pact playtest (with lots of gratitude for @taylordotbiz.bsky.social for providing the model)

This rules! I’m glad you’ve found a place that works for now for all the various and highly varied work you want to share.

Like many things this year, it's a step into the unknown, an act of trust. I've already learned a lot (praxis be that way) and I expect I will learn a lot more, whether this succeeds or fails. (Success for me is a readership that is engaged, & that this is a useful incubator for ideas as they grow)
