Why did giant beavers never take off as a recurring character in final fantasy? Shame.

Calling other board game content creators - need advice on camera upg. Torn between the Canon R50 V and Sony ev z10 ii.
Used for long overhead playthroughs (1-2 hours), talking head, and general b-roll. Anyone have experience with these? Or maybe other camera I should look at...

Shout out to Rodney for having the integrity to call this out.
Part of the reason I love having a small part in the board game content space is the communities still feel organic and avoid the astroturfing I see in other spaces.

Today I emailed publishers about a concerning practice a board game media creator engaged in. This will likely become public, so I'm providing the details here to give the full context of what I shared.

Spent the holiday weekend binge reading 1st book of Dungeon Crawler Carl.
Never read any LitRPG and was pleasantly surprised. Worried it was going to be all video game power fantasy but ended up falling for a cast of likable characters.

Lots of good choices here… FantasyForm is one of my all time favorites though
Now that we’re up and running we’re starting to ask which game is next to reprint. The first poll of many is here. You can only pick one! gamefound.com/en/projects/...

I've slowed down on backing projects but this little project from @connor.alwaysawake.games was too adorable, charming, and reasonably priced to turn down. Check it out!
