I thought it would be fun to create a page to keep tabs on all my projects, including past projects. It will also be a good place for me to keep information for collaborative projects I’d like to do.
I’ve recently revamped this page (April 2024) and wrote a blog talking about some of the changes. You can read it HERE.
Collaborators Needed
The following section is set aside for all the projects that I’m actively looking for collaborators to join me.
Foam Fights
Foam Fights is a series of YouTube vides featuring two fighters per video. They are lightly edited and mainly made so people can analyze the fights. I am always looking for volunteers!
If you’d like me to come to your park and feature you in some fighty videos, consider applying. I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to make the trip (time as well as travel expenses are two big factors) but it will be nice to have a list of volunteers.
List of All Projects
This is a big list of all the projects, I’m doing or have worked on. There are Five categories, 1st Priority (Front Burner), 2nd Priority (Back Burner), 3rd Priority (Refrigerator), Graveyard (Dead Projects) and Finished Projects
I wanted to make sure that I had a full list so people could see exactly everything I am working on or maybe have tried and am no longer working on. It’s a good way for people to see exactly what goes on in content creation and how many ideas are tried and never really work.
1st Priority (Front Burner)
A list of projects goals that are on the front burner. These are projects that I’m actively working on and take top priority.
Weekly YouTube Videos (Goal)
My goal is to put out weekly videos on every Monday. This is when I will publish any of my YouTube based project videos
Foam Fights
This is the foam fighting series, formally called Amtgard Fights, that is a main staple of the channel. I get two fighters who duke it out. It doesn’t matter who wins more, it’s about showing off the fighters and letting people learn from what they see.
Baelnorn and Friends
Baelnorn and Friends is a monthly interactive YouTube Live show. I get a few of my LARP friends to join me on stream and we talk Amtgard, life, games and other nerd stuff. All the while interacting with chat.
We took off most of 2023 but my goal is to do it every month of 2024
You can be notified when I go live if you follow my YouTube Channel. If you want to be notified more than a few days in advance, you can follow my Facebook Page too.
You can also watch them after they aired. You can find them in this playlist. I also sometimes cut up segments into individual videos and publish them.
Fighters League (Name Pending)
(More detailed explanation in THIS BLOG)
This is a new project I am working on. It’s similar to Foam fights, in so much that it’s a series of one on one fights, but for this project there is a distinct winner. This will also be in a tournamet format.
For this trial run I will be filling over a total of three days. I already have the fighters for this project and we are working on setting recording dates. I have an enter timeline for this but I don’t want to say what that is, however I hope to start publishing summer 2024
LARP Chats
This is an interview series that I’ve been releasing since 2022. Each year a new season and a new theme. I was really happy with year one and while year two didn’t have as many guests, I think it was a very good season.
Season 3’s theme is “Community” I have started to record episodes, but the release schedule is up in the air.
Discord Community
I’m trying to build up the discord again. I plan on doing weekly discussion questions and try to do at least one community hangout or watch party a month. You can join it HERE if you like.
2nd Priority (Back Burner)
These projects are on the back burner. I’m working on them but not at the expense of the 1st Priority projects. Some of them have seen more recent public releases than others, but they are all actively in the mix, even if not released on a schedule
Philip Clowes Novel
This a novel I’ve been working on for years now. I had been posting the rough draft on my Patreon. on a monthly basis. It’s set in our modern world, but there is magic, vampires and all sorts of supernatural creatures. You can check it out HERE.
As of right now I have been unable to find the creativity to proceed. I ended with finishing a very large, complicated and climatic battle and I haven’t really been able to find a good way to proceed. However, I am about 2/3 or 3/4 of the way through the rough draft.
I have started this month to publish chapters of the updated rough draft in audio format. The first chapter is free for everyone, but the chapters published after that are for paid Patreon members. You can check them out HERE.
Website Blogs and Article
I got to the point of posting weekly content once before, but I don’t foresee me doing that again. However I do plan on making an effort to post more on the website. I may even write a new article!
Let’s LARP
This is an on going series of informational based LARP videos, although many of them will be geared towards Amtgard. I started by rewriting some of my articles into scripts, but the series will eventually include non-repurposed content as well.
I have a few topics that are circulating in my head, but they are no where near formulated enough to produce.
The playlist can be found HERE.
High Trek Podcast
High Trek is a podcast I’ve been working on with my friend Riley. The basic premise is that we get high, watch Star Trek The Next Generation and talk about the episode.
I’ve seen the show numerous times but Riley, they haven’t seen it at all. This is a podcast where two extremes meet in the middle, eat some edibles and analyze the show. You can check it out at www.hightrekpodcast.com.
We currently have season 1 published. We are working on Season 2 now.
3rd Priority (Refrigerator)
These are projects that are currently on hold but are always at the back of my mind and will eventually be cycled into the 2nd or 1st priority lists. I will occasionally work on them but not at the expense of the 1st or 2nd priority projects
Ghosts of the Past
This is a Twitch Dungeness and Dragons show set in the world of Shattered Kingdoms. The goal was to do it on a monthly basis but after the first few episodes I got behind on editing, which snow balled and the project was put on the back burner. I probably should put it on ice, but I think about it often enough I have some hope I might start it back up. the players are still interested.
Along with the show, which is interactive, I also maintain a companion website. You can find it HERE.
Baelath Chronicles
Baelath Chronicles started its life as a National Novel Writing Month project. It was the first and only time I successfully wrote 50k+ words. While I was ecstatic I finished my my first rough draft of a novel, there was so much work that needed to be done on it before I thought I could publish it as a book, I put it aside, never thinking I’d really come back to it.
Then I found Kindle Vella. I can release the content on a weekly basis in small chunks. It’s a different format than a novel and one I think fits the material well. I’m excited to have the chance to get people to read it.
The story is set in a High Fantasy world of my creation. It focuses on three elves, two brothers and their cousin. They have lived an an idealistic, isolated elven society, never venturing beyond the forested border. You can read it HERE.
As of right now I’m no longer posting this, however that’s mostly due to my bandwidth and recent struggles with another bout of depression. I will get back to doing it at some point.
Narrative Driven Fighting Project (Gladiators of the Shadows)
The project is estimated to be 20-26 episodes long YouTube series. Each episode will be approximately 10-20 minutes long. The project was inspired by Pro Wrestling.
The story elements will be told through semi-improved segments which sandwich a multi-round fighting session. The fighting will not be pre -determined. The results of the fights will affect how the story is told. The show is intended to be a bit corny but with series elements weaved throughout.
Right now I’m not looking for fighters for this series. It was a struggle to try and organize such a large project without any ground work. I’ve decided i will try deferent elements of this project in smaller scale in various other projects unstill the time that I have enough support to pull this off.
Ducal Drinks Reboot
That’s right, I would like to reboot Ducal Drinks. This is a monthly panel show, where I invite people on to talk about a specific topic. I never finished the topics I wanted to cover. I stopped mostly because I didn’t have the time or energy to organize it. I may rebrand it as well, as I don’t really drink like I used to.
Graveyard (Dead Projects)
These are dead projects. I am no longer working on them or even thinking about them. I think it’s important to keep a list of projects for my own records. Plus I think it’s probably interesting for readers to see all I’ve done, or at least wanted to do. They can see what has worked and what hasn’t. Plus, you never know when something might need to be resurrected
Beer Tasting Twitch Show and YouTube Series
I did one Beer Tasting show on twitch and it was a hit. Not only that, I really enjoyed it. I felt like I made a positive impact in peoples lives. One person even said as much. I really wanted to do one again
Sadly this never happened again and I’m not sure it will ever happen. I still love the idea, I just no longer see this as the most likely future of my content. Plus, due to medication, I can’t drink as much as I used to be able to.
2nd Shattered Kingdoms D&D Twitch Show
I have an outline and concept for a 2nd D&D game set in Shattered Kingdoms. Sadly I think this won’t happen, especially given the main one isn’t happening. In the meantime I’ve taken some of the elements I had planned for this campaign and am using them in a private game.
Fun note, I’ve taken the work I’ve done on this second game and running a version of it in a private game and it’s going really well.
Beers with Baelnorn Reboot
I would love to reboot Beers with Baelnorn but I’m not 100% sure how to do that. I don’t have the energy to research new topics to give a lecture on. However, I love the name so I want to do something with it.
This has morphed into the Let’s LARP series. I discarded the beers aspect and made them pre-recorded videos on YouTube.
Writing Streams
I really enjoyed my writing streams, but I’ve come to realize that’s not really the content I feel I can do on a regular basis. I may stream writing or dungeons and dragons content creation from time to time, but as a project. This is certainly dead.
I will continue to work on the short stories I started for this project and publish them when they are finished.
Finished Projects
On the occasion I worked on a long term project that had an end date, they will come here. This is not going to be a large list as I usually try to have continuous projects I can do at least yearly.
Las Vegas Video Blog
I did it, you can watch it HERE. I’ve continued to make blogs, which you can find on a playlist on my YouTube channel.
