Hey folks! Such an outpouring of kind words - THANK YOU ALL. The CONTENT will remain up for as long as UA-cam exists, so it's not going anywhere :) I wish I could read all of the comments but there are so many!
Thank you - I continue to link your videos to friends and players alike looking to better understand my own DMing style as well as getting into the mindset of a DM!
7 Years ago, when we made the full switch from 4e to 5e and I also started to DM in DnD, is when your channel and content was a gold mine for me. Always on point, calmly explain, no loud noisy videos, but all just on topic. Exactly what I had a need for at the time and a few more years. I realized by now, I wasn't even subbed anymore. I'm not in need for educational videos on DMing or playing DnD specifically. The few DnD "related" channels I follow these days are only 4: Matt Colville, Pointy Hat, Ginny Di, Bob the Builder. (technically some more that focus on writing and/or world building not exclusive to DnD but in general) And I admit, I watch them more for inspiration or even more, just entertainment. Thank you so much for the great help you have been! Good luck and much joy with the new channel!
Thank you for your amazing work over the years. You were a huge influence on me when I started GMing in 2019 and I always share your videos with new GMs because they are simply outstanding. All the best to you, Guy!
Thank you for a lot of great content. I have disagreed occasionally and been inspired on others, but both makes you think. Fair winds and following seas in your coming endavours.
Dude! Damn. The end of an era. I was talking on a live-stream just last week about how amazing you are at running Star Trek, you and Janet casually spouting techno-babble like pros, and how amazing your playing a Klingon is. I'm thrilled you're going to make a channel to geek-out on Star Trek. Much love, my friend. I wish you great success in your new adventures.
Watching your channel helped me immensely with GMing and got me to purchase “Maximum Apocalypse “ and loved the kid you roleplayed on another channel with that game! Cheers from a fan! I subscribed to both your new channels! Looking forward to many a great shows ❤️
Best of luck with this new chapter of your life. Your channel was a huge influence on my own. Happy new year, and thank you for the advice and memories.
The timing between your last video and Great GM' *last* last video really drives home how much this stupid platform's algorithm is smothering the content I really enjoy in favor of clickbait videos and shorts from twenty-somethings that are actually just thinly-veiled advertisements for their OF pages, doesn't it PDM?
UA-cam has a sense of humor because this is the first video of yours I’ve seen. I’m glad you’re doing what’s best for yourself and I’m looking forward to going over this channel for more advice on being a better GM
@@HermieMunster The algorithm is doing it's job. It's not rewarding creators for time, effort or quality. It's rewarding creators for viewer retention and the number of ads you can make them watch. This video probably hit the mark as people that stoped watching his videos because the content do not fit our interest anymore still watched his video. Algorithm think it's a good money cow and promotes it to people that might be interested by this topic. That's the sad reallity of youtube and it's neither bad nor good. It's playing capitalism game.
I just found this video randomly, but like the algo rewards watch time, i just looked at his channel, its like 500-1.5k views on videos for like the last year or more, he has 280k subs, clearly he just lost his sub's interest if he cant get even 2% of them to watch his stuff. Its not youtubes fault, like you said the algo rewards retention/watch time, if he isnt making stuff that people want to watch/watch the whole thing, he needs to adapt his content or style.
I can't believe UA-cam did this to you. That's beyond alarming. I hope your followers all continue your journey with you on your new ventures. I'm a Trekkie myself and look forward to your thoughtful input on those IPs/stories/games! Beam me up, Guy! 🖖
What kind of world do we live in when platform now tells content creators what themes and topics they should make videos about. The end times of creativity and freedom, I see.
He likely talked to some sort of creator service person, they looked at the metrics going back x amount of time, saw he was declining, and told him that channel behavior means the algorithm will cool off on pushing his channel.
I be the first to admit, that I wasn't watching as frequent as I did, but mostly because, well, I became a better GM. Your advice got me the confidence to be behind the screen, and in a way, the confidence to tell stories like I love to. Stories that are, finally, becoming a book, and luckily a new career. So, Guy, thank you for this channel and all this years of lovely content. Now, engage. 🚀
I feel the same, after gaining my confidence back I felt less of a need to watch and focus on other things to gain inspiration from. Without this channel I don't think I would have DMed again. Thank you Guy for everything!
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happens" is a quote that comes to mind. Thank you for all the great advice over the years, looking foreward to see what's next.
Of all the life forms that will perish in the oncoming death of the universe, we will miss the anglerfish the least... 😂 However the one that may be better, "The pain of your absence is sharp and haunting, and I would give anything not to know it; anything but never knowing you at all (which would be worse)."
When I finished school and moved from a big city to a tiny town, someone walked by my office and invited me to join their TTRPG table with some local friends. I didn't really understand how to build a character, but Guy, you were there over 7 years ago. When we were a few sessions deep and I wanted to improve as a player, you were there. When our forever GM moved away, you were there, and gave me the confidence to step up as the new GM of the party. When I prepped my first session as GM, you were there. Over the years, as our party tried new systems and invited new friends, you were there. From backing and reading your books, to watching your videos, you have taught me - more than any other - such a tremendous wealth of what TTRPGs are all about. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. After experiencing the fantastic solo Star Trek series you made, I can't wait to see what's next!
You were one of the first TTRPG UA-camrs I ever watched. Thanks for getting me through my first campaign AND the three others that came after! Your wisdom has helped me from the very beginning of my time as a DM!
I have to admit, I haven't watched your content in years. You were however, the first "GM Advice" channel that I ever watched. Those videos provided so much inspiration and advice that I was able to get into GMing and have run a few really fun games. Even if UA-cam keeps this channel off the front page I hope they are smart enough to send anyone searching for GM Advice do your archives. So much knowledge and experience in these videos. Thanks for everything and I already subscribed to the Guy D'Adventures channel. Sadly I have no interest in Star Trek but I wish that channel well!
20+ year GM here. Your OGAS system changed how I run npcs in such an impactful way. Best of luck going forward, I will be dropping in on your new channels.
Same. While it eventually led me back to ideals, bonds, and flaws. It informed me on how to use them properly. They kind of blurred together, honestly.
Agreed! OGAS gave me confidence to step out and GM for the 1st time. A campaign that I thought would last 6 months ran for 2 years! Thank you for the inspiration to embark on that journey :)
When I think of finding your channel, the one thing I remember is about describing structures and using books on ancient architecture. I've always appreciated your presentation, it's always easy to listen to and always practical. Thank you!
I just found your channel last year, and now I've got all this great content to help me be a great GM as well as another channel to nerd about star trek and get to be asking for that ride with you! Thank you for what you've done and pivoting in two awesome new channels!
UA-cam as a platform does not reward, recognize, or appreciate passion and talent. I have watched all your GMing videos, and they have made becoming a GM a very enlightening and rewarding experience. Thank you for the years of hard work and wisdom! Your ideas and legacy will live on in your books.
UA-cam is the worst and I truly wish there was a way we could hurt the company as a whole and their pocket book without hurting the creators in the process. It started as a free video sharing platform where you could literally find videos about anything with absolutely zero ads and it has become a greedy, soulless corporate entity where you can’t even say certain words anymore without getting demonetized. Have a channel that talks about or shows guns and you’re finished. Hear music in the background or anything else someone may think belongs to them and your channel gets removed with no real way to defend yourself. Don’t agree with or promote UA-cam/Googles world and political views and your channel gets cast to the shadows so no one can find it. When problems do happen, usually at the fault of UA-cam, creators can’t get any help and are often told “oh well that sucks.” They’ve gotten too big and powerful and they need to be humbled. Unfortunately as I mentioned I don’t know if anyway for that to happen without the creators we all love getting burned in the process.
you have been the David Attenborough of D&D. we (I) thank you for all you have provided for us. you have helped shape us all in the workings of a great GM and player. i still utilize your vids and i wish you luck in all your future endeavors.
Ouch this hurts Edit: I think it would be cool, because I know you prep for your sessions, that you live stream you prepping and other DMs can join and we can all prep together and possibly bounce ideas off each other and still get advice from you. I just don’t want this channel to go
Thank you Guy for your many years of service. There have been many nights where I was stopping and starting your videos as I was making notes into my How to DM notebook. Best of luck with your new endeavours.
Thank you for producing all these great videos. As a new GM ive found it immensly helpful as well as your kickstarter books. Wishing you all the best for the future and look forward to seeing you on your new channels.
I was just a player, and couldn't find anyone willing to GM. I watched your videos, GM'ed for my friends, and they loved it! You gave me so much information and inspiration, inspiration is so hard to come by sometimes, thank you!
Im not going to lie. You did kjnda drop off my feed. I remember watching you as i first started dming and got hooked. And then you disappeared for a while or other things came up. It has brought back a flood of fond memories and advice. To this day i still use your advice on mapmaking. All in all you inspired a much younger me. I only wish I had payed closer attention to you in the recent years. Thanks for everything Guy. Also while im personally not a trekkie i have already subbed to Guydadventures. Looks absolutely awesome and i hope both channels thrive.
The end of an era. I'll often pull up your older videos to re-watch for inspiration before a session. Particularly the Story-Telling Basics playlist. You've given me some very valuable advice that has made a difference in how I GM. Thank you. I look forward to checking out the next 2 channels.
I've been following the channel for roughly 3 years now, and I still distinctly remember your basic tutorial GM videos about making towns and NPCs and whatnot. Those videos were practically the cornerstone of my current GM abilities. Thank you.
This is a turn of the dice I didn’t expect to see today. You’ve always been amazing every single story, every single moment, growing and learning with you over the years. Just like the great characters I’ve had to retire after games, I hope the epilogue of your journey from this channel is just as amazing as the adventure.
Regardless of what UA-cam or anyone else thinks, you were one of the best, if not the best, GM channel available. I really appreciate all you did for all of TTRPG folks and your work was excellent! And as a 40+ year GM myself, you are the GM of GMs. Bravo, Sir! Respect.
I just want to say THANKYOU! for everything, I have watched hundreds of your videos and you and your team have made me the GM I am today. I don't think I would've had the courage to GM my first game with confidence without your channel. Once again, thankyou for everything Guy!
I watched so many of your advice videos when I started as a GM in 2019. Since then I've played, GMed and left the hobby but still think about your great content. All the best in your new ventures!
You were the first channel I watched trying to get myself the confidence to GM. After 4 years I'm still the forever GM and me and my friends have a blast. Thanks for everything!
I wish you all the best. I hope this channel stays up, for references I may need in the future. I'm not versed on Star Trek so I'll probably miss that, but the Guy D'adventures might be quite good.
Thank you for everything, Guy. Your videos taught me the basics of D&D and how to properly run a game. Without them, I probably would have given up on setting up my first session, and without that first session, I wouldn't be a music composer for TTRPGs. You truly are an inspiration, and I wish you the best of luck with your upcoming projects!
Thank you for this touching tribute and closing of a wonderful channel. I've learned so much over the years from watching your content and it's helped me improve as a GM and as a player. Best of luck to you on your next adventures!
I'd like to say thank you for what you've done over the last ten years. I started my journey in learning on how to be a great GM with your channel in the very beginning of 2014. Thanks to you, not only have I become an amazing GM through your tips and tricks, but now have a wonderful group of friends. This group of friends I have are going to be my groomsmen for my upcoming wedding. I'm sad to hear you go, but will always recommend people who are looking to becoming great GMs themselves to your channel. Thank you sir, and god speed to you in your next journey!
After all these years, this channel is still my topmost go-to recommendation to other GMs and players, bar none. And it will continue to be, because you've left a goldmine of valuable information archived in this library. That said, I'm excited to check out the stuff you've got brewing for Off My Bridge and Guy D'Adventures, because if the mind that came up with all the good stuff in this channel is gonna be coming up with more good stuff in those, then godspeed and see you there!
One of my favourite moments was directly messaging you about a campaign design problem (ultra-wealthy villain motivation), and you didn't just respond... you literally made a whole episode about it (How to determine what your Villain Wants). That was 6yrs back... and I still haven't started that campaign because of reasons. I do also totally get the finite channel thing. I literally started making (bad) videos because I spent a long time in one series of games, and discovered that people just did not understand how the game worked. I uploaded the best I could manage at the time, knew they were bad, still think they're bad, still plan on redoing them... and yet, somehow, despite having not uploaded in over 4yrs... people still inexplicably show up. I will, inevitably, run out of content for that one series, no matter how much hairsplitting I do. One story ends, begin again. See you on the adventure channel.
Like many others, my wife and I picked up DND during Covid and I very distinctly running across your channel and have followed you since then. It was a trainwreck trying to DM LMOP for my one player (my wife). But I know that you have helped me becoming a better GM. Thank you for all the advice and videos - I think you have truly guided many of us in our TTRPG journeys. I know absolutely nothing about star trek, I know that I will be subscribing to you yet again due to how wonderful you are. I wish you all the best!
Guy, thank you for inviting us into your creative world. I cannot believe its been 7 years. Your wisdom about being a Great GM and a Great Player helped to shape my approach to both roles. As well as making me cognizant of my weaknesses, so I could improve. Thank you, Guy, and I wish you and yours the best of luck with all your future endevours. Happy New Year!
Deeply saddened by these news, but I totally understand. Damn, this hits me hard. I have been following your channel since 2018, when I first started GMing. Your videos have been very inspiring and motivating, and grealty helped shape my main rpg into what it is today, a project i'm truly proud of, where my players enjoy coming back every session, and creating art about it. I remember first watching some of your videos about campaign creation and taking some clumsy notes into a little notebook that I still keep today after years. Now I still come back when I need specific advice, and your channel has always delivered. I wish you the best, Guy. Thank you for all you have taught me and many others.
Thank you for everything, Guy. I just bought "The Practical Guide to Becoming a Great GM" and gave as a Christmas present to my daughter's partner who recently started a career as a GM. I also remember, fondly, your Bounty Hunter game which I translated into Swedish and played with my friends. Great times were had by all.
Thank you for your hard work! Definitely been a watcher of the channel whenever I have needed to get into GM-ing a campaign of anything. Best of luck for your new channels, the adventures from ruins one seems like an incredible concept.
Thank you for all the advice, you helped me develop a foundation for my DMing. I still run that first encounter you built with us years ago. I'll be keeping tabs on you, super excited about the exploring channel! Good luck.
I still think back fondly to the group of us road tripping to Gen Con. It was a fantastic experience. I'll never forget you running a game as we traveled down the road. I look forward to your new adventures you share with us. Thank you for all the heart and soul you've put into Great GM.
Thank you Guy, your storytelling style has been an inspiration…I got into your channel during COVID, and wish I could have been here from the beginning. I hope that you can keep the archive open to those of us who return to your content, and for those of us who also want to find your paperback books! Already subscribed to your other channels
I started watching your channel in 2017-2018 in preparation to be a GM. I was terrified of running because I was worried about my stories and games not being good enough. I remember taking notes and rewatching videos as I planned out my campaign and individual sessions. You never failed to give me some new insight or advice, whether I knew I needed it or not. I will always be grateful for the confidence you've helped me build over the years and will continue to point any aspiring GMs here. Your way of talking, breaking down concepts, making everything feel simple to understand and execute will always stay in my mind. Thank you so much. May you live long and prosper, Friend
I haven't regularly watched in a long time, but you were the first GM advice channel I found and really helped me in improving my games. Excited about your new projects, keep your head up!
Thank you for all that you have shared. I became a more confident DM through some of your videos, and as with any good teacher, I began needing you less and less as time went on. I hope for your happiness, prosperity, and adventure going forward into the future. Thank you so much!
I started dming about 10 years ago and your videos were great learnings and ideas for me. So thank you for that. Haven't always agreed with you or your ideas but I've learned a lot and had a lot of fun.
We'll miss you, of course. I'm glad that your material will still be available, and that I have your books to which to refer. And yes, sites! When I was stationed in Scotland I visited places that still inspire my creativity. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, particularly Guy d'Adventures (and you would not believe what autocorrect did with that)! Come on, make with the inspiration!
When i restarted D&D about 9 years ago, many channels popped up and got recommended to me. You are the only one I still watch regularely. You are right that a saturation has been happening, also you told what you wanted to tell. I will look into your new content. Anyway Guy, you taught me how to (try to) be a great GM. Thank you!
Thank you so much for all of your work. I'm sad to hear the news. Your videos helped me SO much back when I was a baby GM. You helped me take my flat, bland campaigns and make them slightly more interesting haha
Man this is crazy. Your channel is what got me back into DMing and got my brother and his friends into the game because of it. Your channel also got me back into writing, world building, ect. It’s just wild to think back on how much finding your channel changed the course of mine and the people close to me’s lives. Watching your videos and becoming better at DMing even helped me greatly with my social anxiety. I wish you luck in any of your future endeavors and just wanted to say thank you for the years of content. Also I may not be the biggest Trek fan just because I never really watched it but I think both channel ideas are good. I’ll definitely be checking them both out.
Going to ruins and lost places, and coming up with stories about what might have happened? that sounds like my jam. I loved the prompts you did for the "How to GM" book.
This was my first D&D channel! I've been very sporadic in viewing but i always knew i could come back to you for great narrative advice. Thank you so much!
I remember finding your channel alongside with other tabletop content channel years and years back now. I've seen so many rise and vanish in that time, so much fun and so much good information within. Yours always stood out to me, and with a few others lived rent free in my mind ever since then. I know you and those others helped shape the way I ran and played games. Your tips and insights guided me, even if often subconsciously. Thanks for all the great videos and words on this channel, sincerely. I will assuredly look upon them again from time to time as I continue to run and play games, and even as I now endeavor to write a novel series. You've touched many lives here, mine included, and I hope to pay it forward in the form of great stories. Best of luck on all you do from here onward.
Thank you for all your efforts to bring us this wonderful content. I've been too afraid to try to GM, but your content has helped a lot for me to overcome that. Wishing you all the best on wherever your path leads. Cheers!
Thank you so much for everything. A couple of years ago, I was talked into gming a Pathfinder adventure and I always was a player before that. The videos on your channel helped me so much and they still do until now. Take care and good luck on your journey ahead!
Thanks for everything, you provided so many people a perspective on the process of being a GM / Player. It's always sad for things to end, but I hope your next adventure goes swimmingly.
I stopped playing TTRPGs a couple of years ago, but I still re-watch your videos about storytelling and worldbuilding. They cross hobbies! Good luck with your next adventures.
Hey Man, i first started to watch you when i started playing D&D shortly before Covid, you helped me become a better player in so many ways. I am standing before my first campaign as a DM and i am certain you will still accompany me striving there. Thank you so much, i will still point my completly new players your direction. Best of luck with your new channel ! I will be watching!
I was watching the videos here from 2017, I think. Without these videos, I would have never started DMing during the pandemic. So A BIG THANK TO YOU TOO, GUY! As for memorable moments, I have puzzled my players with "A king is ill..." ciphered message, which they spent an eternity trying to figure out. And the drow are now using web spider messages as the standard procedure in my games as well. Additionally, my players are now paranoid of a folieraptors. They still check the bushes from time to time, just in case. All in all, from all the DnD channels, yours have given me the most ideas over the years. Thank you.
I nearly cried watching this, dude. Your videos really helped me learn to GM (I've been doing so for nearly four years now). I used your advice on worldbuilding and character design to make my own world and elaborate history. I used your advice on naming things and giving them personality, which has created many spectacular adventures and characters my players loved. I especially used your advice on pacing and plot points (still need to work on that though). To this day, I find even your older videos still relevant and helpful, and I go back to watch them from time to time. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these over the years. Here's hoping your new channels will live long and prosper!
Noooo! It's been a very helpful journey ad an erstwhile GM, I thank you for that! I wish you the best in your forthcoming ventures (subscribed to Guy D'Adventure).
Hi, Just want to say „thank you for all the amazing content“. All your videos, regarding Player and GM improvement, were extremly interesting and helpful (as far as i remember 😊). I watched all of your Fantasy campains and every week I am looking forward to a relaxed friday evening, watching the duskmourne chronicles together with my wife. Thank you ❤️
Completely understandable. Couldn't blame you one bit. But I have to say, I'm so thankful you're preserving and continuing the live plays! The adventures, interactions, and characters you and your players create are truly marvelous to witness and great sources of inspiration! Best of luck with the new channels, Guy! I'll be sure to check them out!
Thank you for all the videos and advice! This channel will be missed by many people. I look forward to seeing what you have coming up on your new channels and I have already subscribed! Thx Guy! Warp factor one!
Thank you very much Guy. I haven't been a constant viewer, but when I've had the opportunity to GM, I've always turned to your channel. Looking forward to "Off My Bridge!"
I found your channel fairly recently and believe its one of the best Ive seen. Thank you so much for all the time and love you put into it. Im going to be watching your videos for a long, long time to come. All the best to you going forward.
Guy, you've been a huge influence on my GMing and storytelling in n general. Many great moments around the table have been connected to you and your videos. And in my writing, you have been an excellent writing coach. You've also changed how me and all my groups approach race in TTRPGs as well as world building. Cheers to you, and know I'll be referring to much of your work for as long as I can find it online!
It has been an honor to learn from you, game with you, and see the amazing person that you are grow and change, I am thrilled to see what new worlds you shall conquer :)
I’m livid that the algorithm hasn’t been putting you in my feed. Discovered you around covid, I think? Maybe a bit before. And I’ve loved everything I’ve seen. Thank you for making me a better gm
it was just around 6-7 years ago I started following and watched I think your entire catalogue at the time and for the first year or so I was subbed and then every now and then I'd come back to watch certain videos or see what new stuff you'd put out. I can confidently say however, that if it wasn't for this channel and a handful of others, I wouldn't have 10 of my closest friends with whom I've spend nearly that entire time DMing and being a player with. The opinions and inputs I took from your videos had their impact on how I would choose to run and play my DnD, and ironically my own homebrew 1-20 campaigns are finally coming to wraps in the next month or so too. Glad you decided to make the channel Guy, Hope your next ventures treat you well!
Thank you for everything Guy. You're fantastic and helped me not only with my GM'ing but also with my own confidence and communication skills in my daily work. Will be following you in your new adventures but wanted you to know just how much of an impact you had on me! :)
6:04 this is really odd to me, I've never heard of UA-cam limiting what you can do with a 2nd channel. At least here in the US, it's pretty normal right now for gaming UA-camrs to make a second channel because the second channel has way better ability to find new people and rack of views.
Sadly UA-cam just wants quantity regardless of quality. It's a crap business model, and loads of creators who should be allowed a platform are being, as you said, "culled. Shunted off. Etc.."
I discovered your channel when I was just looking for fantasy content. You inspired me to give Game Mastering a shot. I fell in love with the hobby. I learned a lot about story telling, I learned how to run games, I got in touch with old friends, I met some new friends, and I started volunteering to run games at the local library. Thank you Guy. Thank you to everyone who made this channel possible. You changed my life in the best way.
Your Channel has been such a great resource for me when I started GMing. I remember watching a video of yours where you just gave some questions ideas. I loved the idea so much I applied it to my game, and my players still talk about it. I'm sad to see this channel go, but I'm excited to see what you do next! Happy Gaming!
Love you, love this channel, listed you in the dedication of my D&D novel trilogy. Favorite moment from this channel was the How to Make Multi-Level Dungeons video where you talked about the life and logistics of what happens inside these places when the adventurers aren't there. "WHY are there nests of goblins living here? Where do they get food?" That line of thinking just never even occurred to me. Looking forward to Guy D'Adventures.
Guy, thank you so much for all the years of advice, humor and fun you provided me and my players. I can't tell you how much your work helped me as a GM. I found the channel back when I got back into the hobby and I binged every episode I found. Such great times. I'm really looking forward to your new channels, as I'm a bit of a Trek fan myself (mostly TOS and TNG) and love historical sites as well (ancient history is so inspiring). Looking forward to both and I wish you the best of luck in these new channels. And I"m sure I'll come back to this channel many times to revisit some of your most helpful and humorous videos.
Your videos have helped me improve as a GM & player and I will continue to refer to them when I need inspiration for as long as the channel stays up. My table thanks you
You're the first guy I found when I started game mastering 5 years ago. This channel gave me the confidence and a jumping off point for my first adventure! Thanks, Guy. 👍
Thanks so much for all the years and videos! Your videos have always been, and will continue to be, one of my top resources for learning how to be a better GM and storyteller ❤
Hey folks! Such an outpouring of kind words - THANK YOU ALL. The CONTENT will remain up for as long as UA-cam exists, so it's not going anywhere :) I wish I could read all of the comments but there are so many!
Thank you - I continue to link your videos to friends and players alike looking to better understand my own DMing style as well as getting into the mindset of a DM!

Thank you so much for the great help you have been!
Good luck and much joy with the new channel!
Thank you for your amazing work over the years. You were a huge influence on me when I started GMing in 2019 and I always share your videos with new GMs because they are simply outstanding. All the best to you, Guy!
Thank you for a lot of great content. I have disagreed occasionally and been inspired on others, but both makes you think. Fair winds and following seas in your coming endavours.
i think it would be accurate to say that you are the sole reason thousands of players were able to have the best games possible
Dude! Damn. The end of an era. I was talking on a live-stream just last week about how amazing you are at running Star Trek, you and Janet casually spouting techno-babble like pros, and how amazing your playing a Klingon is. I'm thrilled you're going to make a channel to geek-out on Star Trek. Much love, my friend. I wish you great success in your new adventures.
Your q&a made me find this guy!
Love both of your channels. Hope you'll stick around for a while, Seth!
This is sad I remember driving to college listening to both your channels in 2018/2019 back to back
Trying new things like this is hard. Wow.
Watching your channel helped me immensely with GMing and got me to purchase “Maximum Apocalypse “ and loved the kid you roleplayed on another channel with that game! Cheers from a fan! I subscribed to both your new channels! Looking forward to many a great shows ❤️
Best of luck with this new chapter of your life. Your channel was a huge influence on my own. Happy new year, and thank you for the advice and memories.
🥲
The timing between your last video and Great GM' *last* last video really drives home how much this stupid platform's algorithm is smothering the content I really enjoy in favor of clickbait videos and shorts from twenty-somethings that are actually just thinly-veiled advertisements for their OF pages, doesn't it PDM?
@@ericfleming5522 it does. & it’s probably worth a video. What do you think?
@@DUNGEONCRAFT1 I would agree
@@DUNGEONCRAFT1 I'd watch and comment.
UA-cam has a sense of humor because this is the first video of yours I’ve seen. I’m glad you’re doing what’s best for yourself and I’m looking forward to going over this channel for more advice on being a better GM
Same here and I follow a number of RPG channels, definitely something in the algorithm not recommending his videos.
Look through his back log.
@@HermieMunster The algorithm is doing it's job. It's not rewarding creators for time, effort or quality. It's rewarding creators for viewer retention and the number of ads you can make them watch. This video probably hit the mark as people that stoped watching his videos because the content do not fit our interest anymore still watched his video. Algorithm think it's a good money cow and promotes it to people that might be interested by this topic.
That's the sad reallity of youtube and it's neither bad nor good. It's playing capitalism game.
I just found this video randomly, but like the algo rewards watch time, i just looked at his channel, its like 500-1.5k views on videos for like the last year or more, he has 280k subs, clearly he just lost his sub's interest if he cant get even 2% of them to watch his stuff. Its not youtubes fault, like you said the algo rewards retention/watch time, if he isnt making stuff that people want to watch/watch the whole thing, he needs to adapt his content or style.
Same here. Bizarre.
I can't believe UA-cam did this to you. That's beyond alarming. I hope your followers all continue your journey with you on your new ventures. I'm a Trekkie myself and look forward to your thoughtful input on those IPs/stories/games! Beam me up, Guy! 🖖
im still sorta confused why youtube were as hands-on as discussed in this vid. I may have missed things a bit.
Why did they do this to him? what is the reason they wont promote his videos anymore? no new uploads?
Yeah I had no idea UA-cam’s corporate suits had such a hand in how visible channels are. I figured the cream just rose to the top naturally.
What kind of world do we live in when platform now tells content creators what themes and topics they should make videos about. The end times of creativity and freedom, I see.
He likely talked to some sort of creator service person, they looked at the metrics going back x amount of time, saw he was declining, and told him that channel behavior means the algorithm will cool off on pushing his channel.
I be the first to admit, that I wasn't watching as frequent as I did, but mostly because, well, I became a better GM.
Your advice got me the confidence to be behind the screen, and in a way, the confidence to tell stories like I love to.
Stories that are, finally, becoming a book, and luckily a new career.
So, Guy, thank you for this channel and all this years of lovely content.
Now, engage. 🚀
I feel the same
I feel the same, after gaining my confidence back I felt less of a need to watch and focus on other things to gain inspiration from. Without this channel I don't think I would have DMed again. Thank you Guy for everything!
Yeah I used to binge these videos, and the videos are still good but I grew beyond them
Same here. Thank you Guy for everything!
This is exactly what happened to me too
After 6 years of viewing I still go back to your videos.
I still go back to some of his old videos as well! As long as this content still here, this man has done the Lord’s work!
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happens" is a quote that comes to mind. Thank you for all the great advice over the years, looking foreward to see what's next.
Of all the life forms that will perish in the oncoming death of the universe, we will miss the anglerfish the least... 😂
However the one that may be better, "The pain of your absence is sharp and haunting, and I would give anything not to know it; anything but never knowing you at all (which would be worse)."
Smiling with tearfilled eyes!!
When I finished school and moved from a big city to a tiny town, someone walked by my office and invited me to join their TTRPG table with some local friends. I didn't really understand how to build a character, but Guy, you were there over 7 years ago. When we were a few sessions deep and I wanted to improve as a player, you were there. When our forever GM moved away, you were there, and gave me the confidence to step up as the new GM of the party. When I prepped my first session as GM, you were there. Over the years, as our party tried new systems and invited new friends, you were there. From backing and reading your books, to watching your videos, you have taught me - more than any other - such a tremendous wealth of what TTRPGs are all about. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
After experiencing the fantastic solo Star Trek series you made, I can't wait to see what's next!
You were one of the first TTRPG UA-camrs I ever watched. Thanks for getting me through my first campaign AND the three others that came after! Your wisdom has helped me from the very beginning of my time as a DM!
Agreed. UA-cam promotes horrible people like Jake paul and Tana Mongieau whilst shadow banning others. 🤷🏻♂️
I have to admit, I haven't watched your content in years. You were however, the first "GM Advice" channel that I ever watched. Those videos provided so much inspiration and advice that I was able to get into GMing and have run a few really fun games. Even if UA-cam keeps this channel off the front page I hope they are smart enough to send anyone searching for GM Advice do your archives. So much knowledge and experience in these videos.
Thanks for everything and I already subscribed to the Guy D'Adventures channel. Sadly I have no interest in Star Trek but I wish that channel well!
My first was Matt Colville, but this was my second, with Dungeon Dudes.
20+ year GM here. Your OGAS system changed how I run npcs in such an impactful way. Best of luck going forward, I will be dropping in on your new channels.
Same. While it eventually led me back to ideals, bonds, and flaws. It informed me on how to use them properly. They kind of blurred together, honestly.
Agreed! OGAS gave me confidence to step out and GM for the 1st time. A campaign that I thought would last 6 months ran for 2 years! Thank you for the inspiration to embark on that journey :)
OGAS...? Huh.
OGAS is the law!!
Where can I find this video?
Thank you for being a part of my journey towards being a better GM over the last 9 years.
When I think of finding your channel, the one thing I remember is about describing structures and using books on ancient architecture. I've always appreciated your presentation, it's always easy to listen to and always practical. Thank you!
I just found your channel last year, and now I've got all this great content to help me be a great GM as well as another channel to nerd about star trek and get to be asking for that ride with you! Thank you for what you've done and pivoting in two awesome new channels!
UA-cam as a platform does not reward, recognize, or appreciate passion and talent. I have watched all your GMing videos, and they have made becoming a GM a very enlightening and rewarding experience. Thank you for the years of hard work and wisdom! Your ideas and legacy will live on in your books.
UA-cam is the worst and I truly wish there was a way we could hurt the company as a whole and their pocket book without hurting the creators in the process. It started as a free video sharing platform where you could literally find videos about anything with absolutely zero ads and it has become a greedy, soulless corporate entity where you can’t even say certain words anymore without getting demonetized. Have a channel that talks about or shows guns and you’re finished. Hear music in the background or anything else someone may think belongs to them and your channel gets removed with no real way to defend yourself. Don’t agree with or promote UA-cam/Googles world and political views and your channel gets cast to the shadows so no one can find it. When problems do happen, usually at the fault of UA-cam, creators can’t get any help and are often told “oh well that sucks.” They’ve gotten too big and powerful and they need to be humbled. Unfortunately as I mentioned I don’t know if anyway for that to happen without the creators we all love getting burned in the process.
Yep YT is about the machine grinding. :/
rumble is quickly turning into an better platform
you have been the David Attenborough of D&D. we (I) thank you for all you have provided for us. you have helped shape us all in the workings of a great GM and player. i still utilize your vids and i wish you luck in all your future endeavors.
Ouch this hurts
Edit: I think it would be cool, because I know you prep for your sessions, that you live stream you prepping and other DMs can join and we can all prep together and possibly bounce ideas off each other and still get advice from you.
I just don’t want this channel to go
Thank you Guy for your many years of service. There have been many nights where I was stopping and starting your videos as I was making notes into my How to DM notebook. Best of luck with your new endeavours.
Thank you for producing all these great videos. As a new GM ive found it immensly helpful as well as your kickstarter books.
Wishing you all the best for the future and look forward to seeing you on your new channels.
I was just a player, and couldn't find anyone willing to GM. I watched your videos, GM'ed for my friends, and they loved it! You gave me so much information and inspiration, inspiration is so hard to come by sometimes, thank you!
Im not going to lie. You did kjnda drop off my feed. I remember watching you as i first started dming and got hooked. And then you disappeared for a while or other things came up. It has brought back a flood of fond memories and advice. To this day i still use your advice on mapmaking. All in all you inspired a much younger me.
I only wish I had payed closer attention to you in the recent years.
Thanks for everything Guy.
Also while im personally not a trekkie i have already subbed to Guydadventures. Looks absolutely awesome and i hope both channels thrive.
The end of an era. I'll often pull up your older videos to re-watch for inspiration before a session. Particularly the Story-Telling Basics playlist. You've given me some very valuable advice that has made a difference in how I GM. Thank you. I look forward to checking out the next 2 channels.
I've been following the channel for roughly 3 years now, and I still distinctly remember your basic tutorial GM videos about making towns and NPCs and whatnot. Those videos were practically the cornerstone of my current GM abilities. Thank you.
This is a turn of the dice I didn’t expect to see today. You’ve always been amazing every single story, every single moment, growing and learning with you over the years. Just like the great characters I’ve had to retire after games, I hope the epilogue of your journey from this channel is just as amazing as the adventure.
You've given so much to this community that words can never truly express our gratitude.
Regardless of what UA-cam or anyone else thinks, you were one of the best, if not the best, GM channel available. I really appreciate all you did for all of TTRPG folks and your work was excellent! And as a 40+ year GM myself, you are the GM of GMs. Bravo, Sir! Respect.
You were my first GM Channel and your channel gave me the courage to run my first campaign. Thank you so much for your help and guidance.
I just want to say THANKYOU! for everything, I have watched hundreds of your videos and you and your team have made me the GM I am today. I don't think I would've had the courage to GM my first game with confidence without your channel. Once again, thankyou for everything Guy!
I watched so many of your advice videos when I started as a GM in 2019. Since then I've played, GMed and left the hobby but still think about your great content. All the best in your new ventures!
You were the first channel I watched trying to get myself the confidence to GM. After 4 years I'm still the forever GM and me and my friends have a blast. Thanks for everything!
I wish you all the best.
I hope this channel stays up, for references I may need in the future.
I'm not versed on Star Trek so I'll probably miss that, but the Guy D'adventures might be quite good.
Thank you for everything, Guy. Your videos taught me the basics of D&D and how to properly run a game. Without them, I probably would have given up on setting up my first session, and without that first session, I wouldn't be a music composer for TTRPGs. You truly are an inspiration, and I wish you the best of luck with your upcoming projects!
Thank you for this touching tribute and closing of a wonderful channel. I've learned so much over the years from watching your content and it's helped me improve as a GM and as a player. Best of luck to you on your next adventures!
I'd like to say thank you for what you've done over the last ten years. I started my journey in learning on how to be a great GM with your channel in the very beginning of 2014. Thanks to you, not only have I become an amazing GM through your tips and tricks, but now have a wonderful group of friends. This group of friends I have are going to be my groomsmen for my upcoming wedding. I'm sad to hear you go, but will always recommend people who are looking to becoming great GMs themselves to your channel.
Thank you sir, and god speed to you in your next journey!
After all these years, this channel is still my topmost go-to recommendation to other GMs and players, bar none. And it will continue to be, because you've left a goldmine of valuable information archived in this library. That said, I'm excited to check out the stuff you've got brewing for Off My Bridge and Guy D'Adventures, because if the mind that came up with all the good stuff in this channel is gonna be coming up with more good stuff in those, then godspeed and see you there!
Well, I'm going to keep watching the old videos. I have a lot to watch.
One of my favourite moments was directly messaging you about a campaign design problem (ultra-wealthy villain motivation), and you didn't just respond... you literally made a whole episode about it (How to determine what your Villain Wants). That was 6yrs back... and I still haven't started that campaign because of reasons.
I do also totally get the finite channel thing. I literally started making (bad) videos because I spent a long time in one series of games, and discovered that people just did not understand how the game worked. I uploaded the best I could manage at the time, knew they were bad, still think they're bad, still plan on redoing them... and yet, somehow, despite having not uploaded in over 4yrs... people still inexplicably show up. I will, inevitably, run out of content for that one series, no matter how much hairsplitting I do.
One story ends, begin again. See you on the adventure channel.
Like many others, my wife and I picked up DND during Covid and I very distinctly running across your channel and have followed you since then. It was a trainwreck trying to DM LMOP for my one player (my wife). But I know that you have helped me becoming a better GM. Thank you for all the advice and videos - I think you have truly guided many of us in our TTRPG journeys.
I know absolutely nothing about star trek, I know that I will be subscribing to you yet again due to how wonderful you are.
I wish you all the best!
Guy, thank you for inviting us into your creative world. I cannot believe its been 7 years.
Your wisdom about being a Great GM and a Great Player helped to shape my approach to both roles. As well as making me cognizant of my weaknesses, so I could improve.
Thank you, Guy, and I wish you and yours the best of luck with all your future endevours. Happy New Year!
Deeply saddened by these news, but I totally understand.
Damn, this hits me hard. I have been following your channel since 2018, when I first started GMing. Your videos have been very inspiring and motivating, and grealty helped shape my main rpg into what it is today, a project i'm truly proud of, where my players enjoy coming back every session, and creating art about it.
I remember first watching some of your videos about campaign creation and taking some clumsy notes into a little notebook that I still keep today after years. Now I still come back when I need specific advice, and your channel has always delivered.
I wish you the best, Guy. Thank you for all you have taught me and many others.
Thanks for all the great work over the years Guy! You’ve really helped me become better. Good luck with your next adventure!
Thank you for everything, Guy.
I just bought "The Practical Guide to Becoming a Great GM" and gave as a Christmas present to my daughter's partner who recently started a career as a GM.
I also remember, fondly, your Bounty Hunter game which I translated into Swedish and played with my friends. Great times were had by all.
Thank you for your hard work! Definitely been a watcher of the channel whenever I have needed to get into GM-ing a campaign of anything. Best of luck for your new channels, the adventures from ruins one seems like an incredible concept.
Thank you for all the advice, you helped me develop a foundation for my DMing. I still run that first encounter you built with us years ago. I'll be keeping tabs on you, super excited about the exploring channel! Good luck.
Thanks for the memories! I’ve learned a lot from this channel
I still think back fondly to the group of us road tripping to Gen Con. It was a fantastic experience. I'll never forget you running a game as we traveled down the road. I look forward to your new adventures you share with us. Thank you for all the heart and soul you've put into Great GM.
You are an amazing dude and this channel has massively helped me with my own GMing! So THANK YOU for all your work!
Thank you Guy, your storytelling style has been an inspiration…I got into your channel during COVID, and wish I could have been here from the beginning. I hope that you can keep the archive open to those of us who return to your content, and for those of us who also want to find your paperback books! Already subscribed to your other channels
I started watching your channel in 2017-2018 in preparation to be a GM. I was terrified of running because I was worried about my stories and games not being good enough. I remember taking notes and rewatching videos as I planned out my campaign and individual sessions. You never failed to give me some new insight or advice, whether I knew I needed it or not. I will always be grateful for the confidence you've helped me build over the years and will continue to point any aspiring GMs here. Your way of talking, breaking down concepts, making everything feel simple to understand and execute will always stay in my mind. Thank you so much. May you live long and prosper, Friend
This is the first video of yours that has ever been suggested to my feed
I will watch your old videos now
I haven't regularly watched in a long time, but you were the first GM advice channel I found and really helped me in improving my games. Excited about your new projects, keep your head up!
Best of luck Guy! Your channels have been a fantastic resource as a fledgling DM since 2020.
Thank you for all that you have shared. I became a more confident DM through some of your videos, and as with any good teacher, I began needing you less and less as time went on. I hope for your happiness, prosperity, and adventure going forward into the future. Thank you so much!
I started dming about 10 years ago and your videos were great learnings and ideas for me. So thank you for that. Haven't always agreed with you or your ideas but I've learned a lot and had a lot of fun.
We'll miss you, of course. I'm glad that your material will still be available, and that I have your books to which to refer.
And yes, sites! When I was stationed in Scotland I visited places that still inspire my creativity.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, particularly Guy d'Adventures (and you would not believe what autocorrect did with that)! Come on, make with the inspiration!
When i restarted D&D about 9 years ago, many channels popped up and got recommended to me. You are the only one I still watch regularely.
You are right that a saturation has been happening, also you told what you wanted to tell.
I will look into your new content.
Anyway Guy, you taught me how to (try to) be a great GM.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for all of your work. I'm sad to hear the news. Your videos helped me SO much back when I was a baby GM. You helped me take my flat, bland campaigns and make them slightly more interesting haha
Thanks for all the great advice and inspiration!
Man this is crazy. Your channel is what got me back into DMing and got my brother and his friends into the game because of it. Your channel also got me back into writing, world building, ect. It’s just wild to think back on how much finding your channel changed the course of mine and the people close to me’s lives. Watching your videos and becoming better at DMing even helped me greatly with my social anxiety. I wish you luck in any of your future endeavors and just wanted to say thank you for the years of content. Also I may not be the biggest Trek fan just because I never really watched it but I think both channel ideas are good. I’ll definitely be checking them both out.
Going to ruins and lost places, and coming up with stories about what might have happened? that sounds like my jam. I loved the prompts you did for the "How to GM" book.
This was my first D&D channel! I've been very sporadic in viewing but i always knew i could come back to you for great narrative advice. Thank you so much!
I remember finding your channel alongside with other tabletop content channel years and years back now. I've seen so many rise and vanish in that time, so much fun and so much good information within. Yours always stood out to me, and with a few others lived rent free in my mind ever since then. I know you and those others helped shape the way I ran and played games. Your tips and insights guided me, even if often subconsciously.
Thanks for all the great videos and words on this channel, sincerely. I will assuredly look upon them again from time to time as I continue to run and play games, and even as I now endeavor to write a novel series. You've touched many lives here, mine included, and I hope to pay it forward in the form of great stories. Best of luck on all you do from here onward.
Thank you for all your efforts to bring us this wonderful content. I've been too afraid to try to GM, but your content has helped a lot for me to overcome that. Wishing you all the best on wherever your path leads. Cheers!
Thank you so much for everything.
A couple of years ago, I was talked into gming a Pathfinder adventure and I always was a player before that. The videos on your channel helped me so much and they still do until now.
Take care and good luck on your journey ahead!
Thanks for everything, you provided so many people a perspective on the process of being a GM / Player.
It's always sad for things to end, but I hope your next adventure goes swimmingly.
I stopped playing TTRPGs a couple of years ago, but I still re-watch your videos about storytelling and worldbuilding. They cross hobbies! Good luck with your next adventures.
Glad I was here for it. Thank you for everything! If possible keep the videos up because I WILL be coming back to your advice
Thank you for all you have given us. Good luck in whatever path you choose.
Hey Man, i first started to watch you when i started playing D&D shortly before Covid, you helped me become a better player in so many ways. I am standing before my first campaign as a DM and i am certain you will still accompany me striving there. Thank you so much, i will still point my completly new players your direction.
Best of luck with your new channel !
I will be watching!
I was watching the videos here from 2017, I think. Without these videos, I would have never started DMing during the pandemic. So A BIG THANK TO YOU TOO, GUY!
As for memorable moments, I have puzzled my players with "A king is ill..." ciphered message, which they spent an eternity trying to figure out. And the drow are now using web spider messages as the standard procedure in my games as well. Additionally, my players are now paranoid of a folieraptors. They still check the bushes from time to time, just in case.
All in all, from all the DnD channels, yours have given me the most ideas over the years. Thank you.
I nearly cried watching this, dude. Your videos really helped me learn to GM (I've been doing so for nearly four years now). I used your advice on worldbuilding and character design to make my own world and elaborate history. I used your advice on naming things and giving them personality, which has created many spectacular adventures and characters my players loved. I especially used your advice on pacing and plot points (still need to work on that though). To this day, I find even your older videos still relevant and helpful, and I go back to watch them from time to time. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these over the years. Here's hoping your new channels will live long and prosper!
Noooo! It's been a very helpful journey ad an erstwhile GM, I thank you for that! I wish you the best in your forthcoming ventures (subscribed to Guy D'Adventure).
Hi,
Just want to say „thank you for all the amazing content“. All your videos, regarding Player and GM improvement, were extremly interesting and helpful (as far as i remember 😊). I watched all of your Fantasy campains and every week I am looking forward to a relaxed friday evening, watching the duskmourne chronicles together with my wife.
Thank you ❤️
Completely understandable. Couldn't blame you one bit.
But I have to say, I'm so thankful you're preserving and continuing the live plays! The adventures, interactions, and characters you and your players create are truly marvelous to witness and great sources of inspiration! Best of luck with the new channels, Guy! I'll be sure to check them out!
What a sign off!
Looking forward to boldly beaming in again soon! ❤👍
At least keep everything up on the channel. Your insight is so helpful.
That's the plan!
I respect that he’s accepting the end of the channel and addressing it! Good luck with your next steps!!
Thank you for all the videos and advice! This channel will be missed by many people. I look forward to seeing what you have coming up on your new channels and I have already subscribed! Thx Guy! Warp factor one!
Thank you very much Guy. I haven't been a constant viewer, but when I've had the opportunity to GM, I've always turned to your channel. Looking forward to "Off My Bridge!"
Your videos were what made me finally decide to take the plunge and become a GM. Thank you 🙏🏽
Became a GM running Feng Shui 2. Never would have found it in a million years without this channel.
I just gotta say
I first watched you when I DM'd my first campaign on 2021 and it lasted 2 years.
Thank you so much for your advice and support💙
I found your channel fairly recently and believe its one of the best Ive seen. Thank you so much for all the time and love you put into it. Im going to be watching your videos for a long, long time to come. All the best to you going forward.
Guy, you've been a huge influence on my GMing and storytelling in n general. Many great moments around the table have been connected to you and your videos. And in my writing, you have been an excellent writing coach. You've also changed how me and all my groups approach race in TTRPGs as well as world building. Cheers to you, and know I'll be referring to much of your work for as long as I can find it online!
It has been an honor to learn from you, game with you, and see the amazing person that you are grow and change, I am thrilled to see what new worlds you shall conquer :)
I’m livid that the algorithm hasn’t been putting you in my feed. Discovered you around covid, I think? Maybe a bit before. And I’ve loved everything I’ve seen. Thank you for making me a better gm
Man, you have a great body of work to be proud of
it was just around 6-7 years ago I started following and watched I think your entire catalogue at the time and for the first year or so I was subbed and then every now and then I'd come back to watch certain videos or see what new stuff you'd put out.
I can confidently say however, that if it wasn't for this channel and a handful of others, I wouldn't have 10 of my closest friends with whom I've spend nearly that entire time DMing and being a player with. The opinions and inputs I took from your videos had their impact on how I would choose to run and play my DnD, and ironically my own homebrew 1-20 campaigns are finally coming to wraps in the next month or so too.
Glad you decided to make the channel Guy, Hope your next ventures treat you well!
Thank you for everything Guy. You're fantastic and helped me not only with my GM'ing but also with my own confidence and communication skills in my daily work. Will be following you in your new adventures but wanted you to know just how much of an impact you had on me! :)
09:40 "I say hello to-..."
I got Uber Eats, lol
I got boxershorts... 😂
6:04 this is really odd to me, I've never heard of UA-cam limiting what you can do with a 2nd channel. At least here in the US, it's pretty normal right now for gaming UA-camrs to make a second channel because the second channel has way better ability to find new people and rack of views.
He has to be using hyperbole. "UA-cam" I think is the dropping viewer base
@@erichjohnheller2373 I disagree. I think he’s literally talking about UA-cam the company because he talked about going into their London offices
Sadly UA-cam just wants quantity regardless of quality. It's a crap business model, and loads of creators who should be allowed a platform are being, as you said, "culled. Shunted off. Etc.."
I discovered your channel when I was just looking for fantasy content. You inspired me to give Game Mastering a shot. I fell in love with the hobby. I learned a lot about story telling, I learned how to run games, I got in touch with old friends, I met some new friends, and I started volunteering to run games at the local library. Thank you Guy. Thank you to everyone who made this channel possible. You changed my life in the best way.
Your Channel has been such a great resource for me when I started GMing. I remember watching a video of yours where you just gave some questions ideas. I loved the idea so much I applied it to my game, and my players still talk about it. I'm sad to see this channel go, but I'm excited to see what you do next! Happy Gaming!
Love you, love this channel, listed you in the dedication of my D&D novel trilogy.
Favorite moment from this channel was the How to Make Multi-Level Dungeons video where you talked about the life and logistics of what happens inside these places when the adventurers aren't there. "WHY are there nests of goblins living here? Where do they get food?" That line of thinking just never even occurred to me.
Looking forward to Guy D'Adventures.
Guy, thank you so much for all the years of advice, humor and fun you provided me and my players. I can't tell you how much your work helped me as a GM. I found the channel back when I got back into the hobby and I binged every episode I found. Such great times. I'm really looking forward to your new channels, as I'm a bit of a Trek fan myself (mostly TOS and TNG) and love historical sites as well (ancient history is so inspiring). Looking forward to both and I wish you the best of luck in these new channels. And I"m sure I'll come back to this channel many times to revisit some of your most helpful and humorous videos.
Your videos have helped me improve as a GM & player and I will continue to refer to them when I need inspiration for as long as the channel stays up. My table thanks you
You're the first guy I found when I started game mastering 5 years ago. This channel gave me the confidence and a jumping off point for my first adventure! Thanks, Guy. 👍
Thanks so much for all the years and videos! Your videos have always been, and will continue to be, one of my top resources for learning how to be a better GM and storyteller ❤
