  • There are two YouTubes. One is the “creator” YouTube, algorithms, numbers blah blah

    The other is the actual content creator YouTube. These are the channels that people actually follow. If captain disillusion set up his own RSS feed for videos, and I had the method to subscribe to it, I’d no longer need YouTube

    The argument that YouTube has the algorithm and recommendations etc is moot, that’s the same job that every network does, you could absolutely replace this

    The video content would have to be self hosted probably. How it used to be. So we need all these tools to eat YouTube’s lunch





  • There are two starter sets that are relatively cheap, the newest one is literally called ‘starter set’ and a slightly older one called the ‘essentials kit’.

    These don’t contain full rules or player handbooks or anything, but are intended to provide enough to get going which is what it sounds like you need.

    You can DEFINITELY play with just two player characters and a games master and I would strongly recommend jumping in to the latter role fully, without trying to also play along. It can be done but your players will be relying on you to keep the game moving and interesting, as well as playing all the other characters they will meet.

    I’ve run the essentials kit and while it has its flaws it totally works as intended so I can vouch for that
