In the Depths of the OSR

My sentiments are similar to some of the other comments here; though I like it and find it useful, I too can't help but wonder if it's the most efficient/"best" use of obviously finite amount of time a person can carve off the rest of there "real life." While thinking about this, I had an idea. I'm not saying this is what you should do, nor am I even claiming it's a *good* idea. But it is, in fact, *an* idea. And if any part of it is useful to you, well, then, hey, win-win, right? A Glatisant preview could be its own little series. I could see an intentionally casual, minimally-produced, obviously-different-tone-and-format-from-the-rest-of-your-content, livestream- or one-take-style segment wherein, instead of actually discussing the content you've collected, you simply give us a preview of this month's Glatisant: [Clickybaity, Algorithm-Appeasing Headline!] | The Glatisant preview #46 The segment could open with a super-brief overview: this months' Glatisant spotlights three adventures, two [Category 2 items], three [Category 3 items], and six miscellanea; x, y, and z! And then you give us a simple elevator pitch for each item. Brevity would be the name of the game; again, you'd not *actually* be discussing/reviewing anybody's stuff. Rather, you'd simply be telling us what discussions we'll find if we turn to this month's edition. You'd be aiming to pique our interest/let us know if there's anything in this month's issue that is of particular interest to us. Finally, you could pad out the segment to whatever length the algorithm gods demand by *actually discussing* your favorite thing of the month. Why do you like it? Where/how could you imagine yourself using it in your games, or where/how do you think it might best be used? Et cetera, et cetera. In addition to providing value to the viewer by saving us time, you'd also be adding value by supplying your opinion on something you like (because your opinion on these kinds of things is obviously valued!). Lastly, if you had any carrots to dangle, you could pull a "help out the channel by subscribing to the newsletter via the link in the description, and look for the 10% discount code at blahblahblah...!" Or whatever. You get the idea. And, hey, maybe while you're informing us about great content that we'd have otherwise missed (because we're not trawling the OSR blogosphere for neat stuff like you are), you manage to score an affiliate sale or two as well. So, there: that's my maybe good, maybe bad, maybe utterly "meh" idea. At the end of the day, you should 100% make the kind of content that *you* want to make. (Obviously.) But, in *this one particular situation* I suspect that, if you were so inclined, you could potentially get a better return on your investment of time/energy by choosing a production style that required less input, yet still maintained a high level of value to the viewer. But, then again, I could totally be talking out of my ass here; what do I know? Cheers, mate!

I would love to see more of these.
