Hi everyone. YouTube hasn't sent out my video to many of you so I figured I'd direct you to my latest video "Why Your Games Need Conflict". In this video we cover the following topics:
- Types of Conflict (Internal, Interpersonal, External)
- Character Motivations
- Narrative Development
- Conflict Management
- Controversial Conflicts (Slavery, Genocide, etc)
- Genre-Specific Conflict
Please give the video a like to help me grow the channel. Thanks!
I've seen a few videos recently talking about how Random Encounter tables suck whilst travelling and one of the big reasons I've seen is "Because it's not fun to die to a random Encounter." I'm considering doing a response video from a different perspective but I'd like to know from all of you whether you agree or disagree with this from a PLAYERS point of view. Would you be unhappy if a pack of 2d6 bandits from an Encounter Chart killed your character in a Random Encounter whilst you were travelling and then fled the scene with some of your loot?
Lets see what the poll says and feel free to let me know what you voted for and why in the comment section below. Thanks!
I had a great time at this year's UK Game Expo at the NEC Arena in Birmingham. I plan to definitely go next year so if any of you would like to hang out, roll some dice, or check out some stalls.. Definitely consider getting yourself a ticket for 2025!
In regards to US-Based Events. Definitely not possible right now but depending on where we are in a year or two, Gen Con might be on the cards.
HEY SUBSCRIBERS! I'll be attending the UK Games Expo tomorrow so to all my British subscribers, I hope to see you there. If you recognise me, feel free to walk up and say "Hey Loki". I'm not running a stall or doing any events, I'll just be exploring, talking to people, looking for games to play and finding things to spend my money on.
In regards to my channel, I'm planning a new video schedule for June this weekend which I'm hoping to put into effect on Monday. If there are any subjects or topics you'd like me to cover in a video, feel free to let me know in the comments section below. Thanks!
POLL: What era of armour do you guys like seeing used in your TTRPG campaigns the most? I wish I could of included the Norman armour from 1066 but I was only able to include four options and I felt the 800s had far more distinct medieval armour. If you prefer earlier or later eras, let me know in the comments. Thanks!
Make sure to check out my latest video all about Emergent Storytelling and creating Sandbox Adventures. It's one of my HIGHEST RATED videos yet. Remember to LIKE the video and leave a COMMENT if you want to see more videos like this. Thank you everyone!
UK GAMES EXPO 31ST MAY TO 2ND OF JUNE
Hey guys. I'm planning to go to the UK Games Expo that is taking place in Birmingham at the NEC Arena next month and I was curious who amongst my community was planning to go as I'm considering the idea of hosting a talk on one of the days to talk about the various tools and ideas I use in order to run my games. I figured it would be a nice opportunity to meet some of you guys and actually get myself out onto the local gaming scene.
Let me know. I'll make another community post with details if everything gets confirmed. Thanks.
HOLY SHIT ๐๐ We hit 50 SALES with "Designing Hex Towns". Thanks to all of you who bought the product, I hope you found the product worth the money.

HEY GUYS. We've recently hit 4000 subscribers on the channel and I just wanted to thanks to everyone for supporting me over the past year. As a thank you, I've decided to remake a popular video all about Creating Towns in your TTRPG Campaigns. I've made a book on the way I make settlements which is now live on DriveThruRPG. It's my first product on the site so I'd love if you could check it out.

Cheers to 4000 subscribers, can't wait to see you guys again at 5000! ๐๐๐
HAPPY NEW YEARS!
I just wanted to thank all of you for supporting me and my channel for the past 12 months. It's been a really fun year and I've made over one hundred videos in that amount of time, which is pretty crazy to think. This year I plan to be more innovative and provide content that I'm passionate and excited about in our TTRPG space. I hope you guys will all join me on that adventure to see where we'll all end up this time next year.
You guys are the best, see you next year!
Loki's Lair is my name, Swords & Sorcery is my game.
