It's gonna be a stretch to get a video out this month, I've been very busy with life and job. I've got two in the works, a discussion video and a class video. I might be able to get one done this weekend, especially as it's a long weekend. 🤞 If not, I'll do my first livestream on the Monday.

My next video, which should hopefully be out this month, will be a world building one. I'm keen to provide lots of general concepts inspired by the magic system and previous bits of world building which can spark adventure ideas, character and locations so we are returning to "the Shattering".

Well the latest video has blown past all expectations and my previous most viewed video by some margin. I'm completely amazed. I can see some folks are even following me on here which is cool! Hello! I guess I'll be posting here a bit more than I used to haha

It might sound simple but "How many weapons does a TTRPG need?" takes us on an interesting deep dive into game design. My latest video: youtu.be/U091PMRx9Cw

Its been a little while but I am finally back with a new video today! Life has been crazy

The Verve @thevervettrpg.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

No video this month, I've been very busy in life and spending most of my Verve time rewriting the rule document based on changes to the fundamental dice system. Should have a video for next month as well as the release of the updated alpha document.

@ginnydi.com @antodemico.bsky.social Hiya, just letting u know I think there's been a small confusion: My monster week vid is set to go live in ~2 hours so should be in the Tuesday playlist. It currently appears twice in the Monday playlist (unlisted) Sorry to be a bother I'm sure you are busy ❤️

I'm afraid no video this week, I've been busy with life and preparing my card game for submitting to a competition. The undead video is next and I am aiming for the second week in feb

I'm really hoping to get this big video finished today, and the art for the second is in so that one might be sorted next week. My goal is both out before end of year!

The Verve @thevervettrpg.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

Realise it's been a little while since my last video. I've got two videos in the works at the moment, one is waiting for the artwork and the other is gonna be a chonker of a vid so is taking a little longer, but I'm really pleased with how it's going so far, I think it's one of my best video essays

This video has one of my best view-to-like ratios in a while which is really nice to see as it's some of my favourite worldbuilding I've done so far for the Verve. If you haven't seen it yet I'd love you to check it out 😉

@jdragsky.bsky.social with some awesome new work, and articulates a critique on safety tools as thought-terminating rather than exploration-encouraging that I've been trying to express for a while

The Verve @thevervettrpg.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

This is exactly the kind of design I love, put anything on axes and I am fully onboard! I've never thought of doing it with safety tools! If I include rules for safety tools in the Verve it will definitely use this.
