Week in the Life of Board Game Youtubers! Content Creation, Game Day, Twitch, & More!

[@AeronwyD]

This just popped up on my KZbin feed. And I died laughing at the slow-mo of Jeff eating his grilled cheese sandwich!! 🤣 It was very cool to see how the week goes and good gracious, each video is a ton of work to make them as great as they are!

[@jamesmorgan1967]

This video confirms what I'd thought...that planning, filming, editing, and posting videos takes a lot of work. I appreciate you guys and all you do. Love the vlog! (And looking forward to seeing your content on Fractured Sky!)

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks James!! Excited to show it off!!

[@richardsleight4114]

Great stuff. a vlog every once in a while, would be a welcome addition to your already fantastic content. Keep up the great work.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Too kind Richard!! We are gonna see if we can make more like this!

[@slashfear]

For as chill and chaotic (is that possible,lol?) as you all seem, you run a tight ship. I aspire to this level of productivity and joy. I’ve got the joy part which is most important. Really loved this style of video and the view behind the scenes.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks Patty! We hope to be able to do more stuff like this in the future

[@WalkSteady]

I loved it! What a beautiful life you have carved out for yourselves. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@FostertheMeeple]

We are very lucky! Appreciate the kindness.

[@SPasley22]

That's hilarious that Juno waits patiently for cardboard remnants. My Maisy pup can hear the punching a mile away and also patiently waits for her turn for fun. Another great video! Really enjoyed the vlog style. 💕 🐾 🎲

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hahaha Juno is the same. She will come from another room to claim her prize

[@allison2525]

This was fun to watch! Let us know where we can send Juno our punched cardboards 😂 loved the animal footage! Thanks for all you do with the video work. I know you enjoy it but I’m sure there are days where you want a break. Thank you both for the time you put into the content. This is mine and my son’s favorite board game KZbin channel!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks so much Allison! Comments like this are fuel for the engine. Say hi to your son for us!

[@lauranapier6974]

Looooved this behind-the-scenes type video!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks Laura! You may see more in the future!

[@terradudley1240]

Wow wow wow. y'all's dedication is seriously impressive! So fun to see behind the scenes. Also side note--that game spreadsheet at the beginning is the most beautiful organized spreadsheet… my type A brain absolutely loves it..

[@FostertheMeeple]

Jamie is a guru, that is for certain!

[@Rathskellers]

That was an amazing watch ! Thank you so much for sharing this with us ! You always make our days brighter ! Love your vibes 😍!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thank you for being as awesome as you all are!

[@JonTripp115]

Fantastic video! Totally made me feel like a slacker while I'm sitting here watching you work and I can't even be bothered to fold the laundry while I watch, haha.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Did the laundry get folded Jon?

[@JonTripp115]

@@FostertheMeeple ..... Some of it.....

[@ingridboswell2407]

Hahah @Jon Tripp I know right? I sat here without folding mine too🤣😂 and no, it’s not folded yet, i was having to much fun watching the video. Thank you for all the work you both put in. This was a fun behind the scenes, and vlogs like this are always fun to see. And your pet cameos were fun too.

[@HughDickson]

This was a fun video - it'd be great to see more vlog/behind-the-scenes/week-in-the-life type videos!

[@FostertheMeeple]

We are gonna try to do more!

[@rford7967]

I had no idea how much work goes into running a KZbin channel. You guys are amazing! Keep up the superb work!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks so much!

[@heatheraboy1673]

Loved your vlog, Jeff and Jamie!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks so much Heather!

[@MarinaS341]

Fantastic video! So interesting to see the behind the scenes! Thank you for sharing

[@FostertheMeeple]

You’re most welcome!

[@corinnajuras-tabletopsavants]

Loved this video! I also live in sweatpants and hoodies whenever I'm home! I'd love to see more vlog content, it was nice to have this on while I was able to also get through some work.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Awesome Corinna! Appreciate the feedback, we are going to see what we can do

[@debbieholecek3293]

Incredible video! Wow, lots of work! Thanks for sharing!😊

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks for watching Debbie!

[@robrattley3902]

You both put loads of work into the channel, really appreciated. The amount of setup and editing is crazy and Jeff really puts in a tub shift!

[@FostertheMeeple]

The tub shifts are the hardest part. But someone’s gotta do it

[@toddngina]

I'm new to board games and a couple of months ago, I had no idea there was any such thing as modern board games. Back in January, I happened to watch one of your videos and, viola! Your video was fun and inspired me to learn more about games and I am now hooked. I've gone nuts and bought several games so far and have been learning so much (eg I never heard of a meeple.) I love all your videos but I especially love this one as I watched all you do with your set up, equipment and editing. This video is special because it shows your labor of love and I would probably be clueless about board games if it wasn't for all you do! A heart felt thanks to you both.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Ahhh Gina this is the reason why we do this!! Thank you so much for sharing. It brings us such joy that we are in a position to help people find this awesome hobby! Thanks so much for the kind words and hope you continue to explore what boardgames have to offer!

[@fludzbehindme]

Loved this video. Was really excited to hear you watch Disney vloggers. Tim and Nate are my faves. We also watch The Dis and Mammoth club. Funny how you get invested in all ya'll. Rather meet one of my vloggers than movie actors. Yes you are famous in my eyes....prob geek out if I saw you lol. Keep up the good work.🥰😁

[@FostertheMeeple]

Haha I can assure you were are as normal as they come!

[@thegreatdane908]

Love the vlog type video! Jealous of how much of Jeff's life is spent in a hot tub lol. Love how cute and funny your dogs are also! Thank you for taking us on this journey!

[@FostertheMeeple]

You’re welcome! I vow to become prune like in pursuit of hot tub nirvana

[@lillybet118]

Great video! My husband and I are in the early stages of developing our own board game channel. Airtable looks super useful!

[@Geeky_Anja]

This was so interesting! Thanks for giving us a peek behind the scenes 😊 And thanks for putting all the time and effort into making your videos. I really enjoy them and always look forward to the next one.

[@FostertheMeeple]

We appreciate you Anja! Thank you for the kind words

[@craigandrews7544]

What a beautiful town you guys live in. I had a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever till recently when he passed at 8 years old. He had that same enthusiasm for life as you guys extrude. 💕

[@FostertheMeeple]

We are very lucky to live where we live, that is most certain! Sorry to hear about your fur baby, but happy to hear he was full of life and energy while he was with you.

[@malvinafis6907]

Super impressive what you both are doing for us ! Thanks for all of that

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks for being with us all the way!

[@Thebrad11984]

Interesting to see how much goes into the content. I think Juno needs a channel. Juno’s cardboard adventures

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hahah she’d love that

[@yellowmeeplereads]

This vlog (and your life) is so. much. work. Thanks for sharing! Had a lot of fun watching your process.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thank you!! It’s definitely work but we love doing what we do!

[@Emily_VT]

All the hardwork y'all put in is amazing and yall got a great channel out of it! I love the pet time. My doggo doesn't take my cardboard punchouts... Teach my dog please. Do more of these vlogs!

[@FostertheMeeple]

We definitely will be!!

[@tommartin2298]

That was an amazing video! It's incredible how much work you put in. It definitely shows. Great job! Thanks for the trip into Mahone Bay. We visited there last summer and loved it. Tea Pro Tip - if you wrap the string around the mug handle while filling it won't drop into water 😊

[@FostertheMeeple]

I always do the string trick! Jamie however, does not

[@Azaria7026]

This was so fun! Thank you!! Loved seeing the animals and the barn too.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks Megan! We hope to do some more this summer when the weather improves!

Also your workspace Jamie makes me envious 😆 I need to organize mine better lol

[@FostertheMeeple]

It doesn’t always look like that ;)

[@dominiquebelanger1828]

Great video. Makes me appreciate all the hardwork that goes into making your videos. Very interesting. I would say yes to more.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks so much Dominique!

[@gabriellasandiego2931]

I work at a board game store and we LOVE Airtable! Y’all are the first I’ve ever heard even mention it, it’s so nice to have everything so organized and easy to categorize!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Jamie swears by it, and now I want to use it haha

[@erinholt5420]

Love this! What a fun look into behind the scenes. :) I had a chuckle at Jamie's "It's slippy" comment. Spoken like a true Maritimer. Haha! Signed, A fellow Maritimer (NB).

[@FostertheMeeple]

Wooohoo!! I (Jeff) grew up in NB!

[@sueknew01]

Love this video. You are so organized. Impressive.

[@FostertheMeeple]

Thanks Susan!

[@BoardGameBlitz]

I love seeing how people make their content! Your Airtable is so organized! I've tried using it a little for review copies, but I have stuff all over the place between Airtable, Notion, and Google docs. I like how Juno helps you with unboxings. I'm also impressed you use your laptop trackpad to edit. And yes, I'd like more vlogs!

[@FostertheMeeple]

We hope to be able to do more!!

[@michaeldaniello5916]

Love this kind of video! The vlog of the behind the scenes was so good. Love all the animals and the comfy glasses and sweats vibe.

What a fantastic video guys! ❤ Love to see how a channel works from your level. We’re much less organized lol (and hampered with the work of three kids around. I’m not envious at all, haha!). 😂

Awesome!! Happy to hear you found it useful!

I really, really enjoyed this kind of content from you guys. I hope to start my own channel soon so this was very inspirational. Thanks a ton for the transparency. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

You’re the most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jamessmith1274]

The view out of the window is stunning! Is it hard to match up the audio and the video? It would be hilarious for it not to be matched up like in godzilla😂 Yalls town is adorable! I open everything with my keys🤣

My pup Leo does the same thing with my cardboard pieces from unboxing games 😂 destroys all the leftover cardboard lol

[@db8094]

This was super entertaining as an productivity-phile. (maybe a word?) My only question was why are there so many KS delivery locations?! Also: How did you learn about lighting and the equipment? That seems like such a craft!

[@FostertheMeeple]

Hahah that’s a fair question. We sold our home, and had to live with my folks while we closed on our new home. So we had KSs being delivered to our old house that we needed to reroute, my folks place while we were closing, and to Jamie’s folks place which is close to our (now current) home. So, just due to logistics of a house sale / buy really. Lighting and equipment has been a lot of just, research and asking others in the space really. We’ve just slowly grown our equipment as we’ve gone along

[@tracieperez2629]

Thanks for sharing your video. Wow! Lots of work Jamie, I mean I figured it was, but seeing it brings a whole new light. Also, I totally expect you to wear sweats or chill clothes daily. You work from home! If anyone judges you for that...well, I will just keep that thought to myself lol, but basically they're a knuckle-head.

Where did you get the coffee warmer? I bought one but it made the coffee hotter then when it was brewed so I thought it wasn't safe lol. Yours looks like much better quality then what mine was!
