So far in this forum section, I've seen people share and discuss shows they like, but nothing from people who have channels of their own. I have no idea what the rules are regarding this (can't find it on the forum), so I won't link it just yet but if a mod or someone in the know confirms it's alright to share, I'll edit this opening post with the details of my channel. Of course I'm excited to share, but only if it's kosher!
Got the go-signal to shamelessly plug, so here it is!
Dicecast is an actual-play D&D show recorded in the Philippines, featuring a homebrew campaign run by Dungeon Master Lance. He’s been running D&D games for years now, and it all started when his own DM had to leave the country, but he and his party didn’t want their adventures to end just then and there. DM Lance concocts homebrew campaigns that take his players beyond their wildest imaginations, but he also runs Adventurer’s League games.
DM Lance is joined by four players, each of them from different backgrounds and playing very interesting characters.
Arvin, a general geek connoisseur, plays Jagrick Bazilev, Dragonborn Fighter and a fiercely loyal folk hero whose arm muscles bulge and flex whenever he does anything, like pick up a cup of tea.
Sarah, a make-up enthusiast and total D&D newbie, plays Sariel Dipvunkhar, a Half-Elf Bard with a very interesting backstory, and who just wants all the attention to herself.
KL, aka Seikachu, joins the crew with her cowardly and cautious Halfling Thief, Adella Melilot— just make sure all your valuables are still on you before and after you meet her.
Rounding out the cast is the mysterious and sexy Tiefling Warlock, Zephyndr, played by yours truly, JP, aka Ryvaeus.
We'd all love it if you'd consider giving Dicecast a go. We upload every Friday, 10pm (GMT+8), and have wrapped up season 1 with our 14th episode. We're currently recording more play sessions to continue the campaign and channel.
DM Lance has this to say about the show: “The most challenging part of making Dicecast episodes is the same as any regular D&D game: scheduling the games. We all have day jobs and lives, it’s why we aren’t a stream.” True enough, the cast and crew of Dicecast are all either working full-time or still studying. Regardless, we've grown quite a bit since our launch in May earlier this year, and invested in equipment and lessons to improve the show. Dicecast is a passion project that aims to introduce people (especially Filipinos) to D&D, and the joys of roleplaying in general.
If you do decide to tune in, here are a few personal recommendations on where to start watching:
What is D&D? is probably not necessary for anyone here to view, but if you're relatively new to the wonderful hobby and/or you'd like to get to know a little bit more about the players behind the characters, my partymates and I answer five commonly-asked questions we gathered from friends and family when we asked them what they wanted to know about D&D.
History of Nostandor is an animated explainer video talking about DM Lance's homebrew campaign, which should help set the stage for the actual play sessions. It's narrated by Rosko Peeko, a wonderful voice talent I found on Fiverr, and illustrated by Lance's girlfriend. Definitely worth watching even for those not into D&D, IMO, for the storytelling experience alone.
Character Spotlight: Sariel is a format of videos that I want to expand beyond the Dicecast crew, eventually. In it, players (in this case, our very own Sarah) talk about the characters they play as - explaining their backstory, creation, motivations, and anything else they want to share. As you all very will know, players grow very attached to their characters, and this video series is intended to be a kind of "show and tell" of these avatars.
And finally, Dicecast Episode 12 for the actual campaign series. Why Episode 12? It's a more recent episode, which puts our best foot forward in terms of editing and audio quality compared to the earlier ones, so I'm most comfortable showing this off :) But if you're willing to bear with the poor audio quality of episodes 1-4, the sudden change of editing style in episodes 5-9, and the video malfunction in episodes 10-11, then by all means be my guest! Things have gotten better since those early days, and we're still working on improving the show quality in various ways.
This post turned out way longer than I intended, but honestly I'm just so excited to share my channel. If you do decide to give it a chance, thank you so, so much. And even if you don't but got to read this far, thanks for indulging me! I truly hope you're entertained, and if not, I am very open to constructive criticism.
Self-promoting your youtube or twitch channel is allowed as long as it's a decent introduction of what the channel offers. Simply typing, "Check out my youtube (LINK)" will never be allowed. Normally we would like a user to ask for permission before self-promotion, but as long as it's relevant to D&D, the forum, and the thread, we tend to allow it.
Thanks again for clearing everything up. I've edited my OP with the details of my self promo, hopefully that's a decent enough introduction to qualify as more than just dropping a link ;)
