Over the years I’ve been able to write several articles and film over 2000 videos for the gaming industry; most of those are published on my YouTube Channel. In the beginning there were minis, then RPGs, food, and then board games. Now there is everything – which is great but it’s clear my fans are role-players, wargamers, and then board gamers.
To be successful I have to slow down and listen to you more. That’s why this year is the year of community. I have reflected on the numbers, and you want me to talk about Pathfinder, D&D, wargames, and everyone loves my convention coverage. Then there are those of you that love my Box Breakings – don’t worry they’re not going anywhere! Some of you have also been talking with me about the production quality of my videos. I appreciate the feedback, and that’s why I’m shooting for a new camera this year.
In order to do all of this I need to make some changes; these are not necessarily in any particular order. One thing I will be evaluating is launching new channels that focus on specific genres, but that is something I want you to help me decide.
Build a bigger stronger community 
- Facebook groups – private
- Community feedback chats
Meet ups
- Push forward with RPG
- Consistent Flip Throughs
- More Role-Play Ramblings
- Run at least one game per con
Bring back wargaming to my channel
- Terrain building
- Battle reports
- More game specific content
- New show Wargame Wandering – not confirmed yet
- Board games
- Box Breakings remain and improve
- More reviews or how tos
- Fiction and technical content
- My game world
- Tools
- Adventures
- Monsters
- Magic
- NPCs
- Short stories
- I would like to organize events again!
- I used to organize events like a mad man and I miss it.
- I would love to create my very own game con!
- This is kind of lofty right now.
- More conventions
- I would like to make Origins, Gen Con, and Adepticon staples for every season.
- Gary Con and Paizo Con would be awesome too!
Wow, that’s a lot of stuff! I currently commit about 20 hours per week to creating content for Through Gamer Goggles with more crunch hours around conventions. Which for the content I produce is just about right. With some better organization I can do more. Heck, if I had it my way I’d be doing it 40-60 hours a week, but that’s just not realistic right now.
In order for Through Gamer Goggles to continue improving, I need you. I can’t possibly build a community without you. If you would like to help grow the Through Gamer Goggles community please check out our Kickstarter. It’s full of all kinds of goodies like promos and digital copies!
