    Viewport #5, June 1 2024

    Latest news and happening with our weekly video blog, the Viewport (part of our efforts to establish TableTopTube), is now posted and available. Check in with our group weekly, on recent activities, behind the scenes information, and upcoming plans. This week, we had our planned group bowling trip, and posted battle report 081 for Legion.…

  • Tabletop Tube – a Viewport

    Tabletop Tube – a Viewport

    Working on expanding the channel material with what the wife has dubbed “tabletop tube”, but in my mind is really just a video blog. Ideally, it is a lively conversation about our activities, both past, present and future, and perhaps some advice and stories. More than likely, I suspect it will be a ramble, at…

  • YouTube support is now available

    YouTube support is now available

    Experimenting a bit with the options for YouTube Memberships, to allow for support from the growing audience. I have had a Patreon site configured for quite some time, but the level of support there is minimal to non-existent. I don’t really expect it to be much different on the YouTube mechanics, but it at least…

  • More tweaks

    More tweaks

    Continued to work on the website and mastodon server but managed some breakthroughs late last week. My challenge was self-hosting both sites, but from a single internal internet connection.

This is intended as an open forum for gaming related discussions, and visibility at the schedules and behind the scenes activities. There have always been a few links available for open invitations, but none really openly…

  • Website changes

    Website changes

    Related to the ongoing website changes, I have made a few fundamental changes to the website itself. Over the last many years, while this site has operated, I have only had myself as a registered member, which is fine, there really isn’t much benefit to anyone to actually register. However, I have had several hundred…

  • Patreon updates

    Patreon updates

    Making a change on my postings to Patreon, to take advantage of some new features. Specifically, I am going to start posting our video previews as Video links rather than Text articles. In the past, I would create the post, then provide a link to the unlisted YouTube video, with a screenshot from the video.…

  • YouTube Push

    YouTube Push

    Over the last couple of years, our YouTube presence has steadily grown, and our various social media platforms have received some traction. As always, growth is good, and I am very much appreciative of all of our audience. However, over the last month or two, the slope has decreased, and we seem to have stalled…
