My "8 Mistakes CoS DMs Make" video has just overtaken my "Barovia Map Size" video as my most popular video. The latter was one of my first ever videos, and was always wildly popular compared to others - so it's a weird feeling. One of those "never thought I'd see the day" type moments, y'know?

I've been trying to do a video a week, but I'm in the middle of upgrading my PC as well as my camera/mic setup - so while my next video may be a little delayed, future videos should be of higher quality and be easier/quicker to make! 🙌 "Short term pain, long term gain" n' all that.
