The end of How to be a Great GM channel

[@HowtobeaGreatGM]

Hey folks! Such an outpouring of kind words - THANK YOU ALL. The CONTENT will remain up for as long as KZbin exists, so it's not going anywhere :) I wish I could read all of the comments but there are so many!

[@TheMwikey]

Thank you - I continue to link your videos to friends and players alike looking to better understand my own DMing style as well as getting into the mindset of a DM!

[@InuyashaHanyu]

7 Years ago, when we made the full switch from 4e to 5e and I also started to DM in DnD, is when your channel and content was a gold mine for me. Always on point, calmly explain, no loud noisy videos, but all just on topic. Exactly what I had a need for at the time and a few more years. I realized by now, I wasn't even subbed anymore. I'm not in need for educational videos on DMing or playing DnD specifically. The few DnD "related" channels I follow these days are only 4: Matt Colville, Pointy Hat, Ginny Di, Bob the Builder. (technically some more that focus on writing and/or world building not exclusive to DnD but in general) And I admit, I watch them more for inspiration or even more, just entertainment. Thank you so much for the great help you have been! Good luck and much joy with the new channel!

[@cheesy_87]

Thank you for your amazing work over the years. You were a huge influence on me when I started GMing in 2019 and I always share your videos with new GMs because they are simply outstanding. All the best to you, Guy!

[@PalleRasmussen]

Thank you for a lot of great content. I have disagreed occasionally and been inspired on others, but both makes you think. Fair winds and following seas in your coming endavours.

[@trans_ben_shapiro]

i think it would be accurate to say that you are the sole reason thousands of players were able to have the best games possible

[@SSkorkowsky]

Dude! Damn. The end of an era. I was talking on a live-stream just last week about how amazing you are at running Star Trek, you and Janet casually spouting techno-babble like pros, and how amazing your playing a Klingon is. I'm thrilled you're going to make a channel to geek-out on Star Trek. Much love, my friend. I wish you great success in your new adventures.

[@ericfleming5522]

The timing between your last video and Great GM' *last* last video really drives home how much this stupid platform's algorithm is smothering the content I really enjoy in favor of clickbait videos and shorts from twenty-somethings that are actually just thinly-veiled advertisements for their OF pages, doesn't it PDM?

I can't believe KZbin did this to you. That's beyond alarming. I hope your followers all continue your journey with you on your new ventures. I'm a Trekkie myself and look forward to your thoughtful input on those IPs/stories/games! Beam me up, Guy! 🖖

[@itisALWAYSR.A.]

im still sorta confused why youtube were as hands-on as discussed in this vid. I may have missed things a bit.

[@MegaDeeEm]

Why did they do this to him? what is the reason they wont promote his videos anymore? no new uploads?

[@raivo1768]

Yeah I had no idea KZbin’s corporate suits had such a hand in how visible channels are. I figured the cream just rose to the top naturally.

[@danielmalinen6337]

What kind of world do we live in when platform now tells content creators what themes and topics they should make videos about. The end times of creativity and freedom, I see.

[@StreetofCrocodiles]

He likely talked to some sort of creator service person, they looked at the metrics going back x amount of time, saw he was declining, and told him that channel behavior means the algorithm will cool off on pushing his channel.

[@GoldSabre]

When I finished school and moved from a big city to a tiny town, someone walked by my office and invited me to join their TTRPG table with some local friends. I didn't really understand how to build a character, but Guy, you were there over 7 years ago. When we were a few sessions deep and I wanted to improve as a player, you were there. When our forever GM moved away, you were there, and gave me the confidence to step up as the new GM of the party. When I prepped my first session as GM, you were there. Over the years, as our party tried new systems and invited new friends, you were there. From backing and reading your books, to watching your videos, you have taught me - more than any other - such a tremendous wealth of what TTRPGs are all about. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. After experiencing the fantastic solo Star Trek series you made, I can't wait to see what's next!

[@JhonnyB694]

I be the first to admit, that I wasn't watching as frequent as I did, but mostly because, well, I became a better GM. Your advice got me the confidence to be behind the screen, and in a way, the confidence to tell stories like I love to. Stories that are, finally, becoming a book, and luckily a new career. So, Guy, thank you for this channel and all this years of lovely content. Now, engage. 🚀

[@XX-cx7rt]

I feel the same

[@Magnus2dead]

I feel the same, after gaining my confidence back I felt less of a need to watch and focus on other things to gain inspiration from. Without this channel I don't think I would have DMed again. Thank you Guy for everything!

[@aztralsea]

Yeah I used to binge these videos, and the videos are still good but I grew beyond them

KZbin has a sense of humor because this is the first video of yours I’ve seen. I’m glad you’re doing what’s best for yourself and I’m looking forward to going over this channel for more advice on being a better GM

[@HermieMunster]

Same here and I follow a number of RPG channels, definitely something in the algorithm not recommending his videos.

[@danielcox7629]

Look through his back log.

[@rix1602]

@@HermieMunster The algorithm is doing it's job. It's not rewarding creators for time, effort or quality. It's rewarding creators for viewer retention and the number of ads you can make them watch. This video probably hit the mark as people that stoped watching his videos because the content do not fit our interest anymore still watched his video. Algorithm think it's a good money cow and promotes it to people that might be interested by this topic. That's the sad reallity of youtube and it's neither bad nor good. It's playing capitalism game.

[@891Demonkiller]

I have to admit, I haven't watched your content in years. You were however, the first "GM Advice" channel that I ever watched. Those videos provided so much inspiration and advice that I was able to get into GMing and have run a few really fun games. Even if KZbin keeps this channel off the front page I hope they are smart enough to send anyone searching for GM Advice do your archives. So much knowledge and experience in these videos. Thanks for everything and I already subscribed to the Guy D'Adventures channel. Sadly I have no interest in Star Trek but I wish that channel well!

My first was Matt Colville, but this was my second, with Dungeon Dudes.

[@FireallyXTheories]

Same. While it eventually led me back to ideals, bonds, and flaws. It informed me on how to use them properly. They kind of blurred together, honestly.

[@kevinregan6566]

Agreed! OGAS gave me confidence to step out and GM for the 1st time. A campaign that I thought would last 6 months ran for 2 years! Thank you for the inspiration to embark on that journey :)

[@cjcwalker1]

Ouch this hurts Edit: I think it would be cool, because I know you prep for your sessions, that you live stream you prepping and other DMs can join and we can all prep together and possibly bounce ideas off each other and still get advice from you. I just don’t want this channel to go

[@Blinky_Dorf]

KZbin as a platform does not reward, recognize, or appreciate passion and talent. I have watched all your GMing videos, and they have made becoming a GM a very enlightening and rewarding experience. Thank you for the years of hard work and wisdom! Your ideas and legacy will live on in your books.

[@St0rmrider73]

KZbin is the worst and I truly wish there was a way we could hurt the company as a whole and their pocket book without hurting the creators in the process. It started as a free video sharing platform where you could literally find videos about anything with absolutely zero ads and it has become a greedy, soulless corporate entity where you can’t even say certain words anymore without getting demonetized. Have a channel that talks about or shows guns and you’re finished. Hear music in the background or anything else someone may think belongs to them and your channel gets removed with no real way to defend yourself. Don’t agree with or promote KZbin/Googles world and political views and your channel gets cast to the shadows so no one can find it. When problems do happen, usually at the fault of KZbin, creators can’t get any help and are often told “oh well that sucks.” They’ve gotten too big and powerful and they need to be humbled. Unfortunately as I mentioned I don’t know if anyway for that to happen without the creators we all love getting burned in the process.

It has brought back a flood of fond memories and advice. To this day i still use your advice on mapmaking. All in all you inspired a much younger me. I only wish I had payed closer attention to you in the recent years. Thanks for everything Guy. Also while im personally not a trekkie i have already subbed to Guydadventures. Looks absolutely awesome and i hope both channels thrive.

[@RPGMusicMaker]

Thank you for everything, Guy. Your videos taught me the basics of D&D and how to properly run a game.

[@bravemore16]

I started watching your channel in 2017-2018 in preparation to be a GM. I was terrified of running because I was worried about my stories and games not being good enough. I remember taking notes and rewatching videos as I planned out my campaign and individual sessions. You never failed to give me some new insight or advice, whether I knew I needed it or not. I will always be grateful for the confidence you've helped me build over the years and will continue to point any aspiring GMs here. Your way of talking, breaking down concepts, making everything feel simple to understand and execute will always stay in my mind. Thank you so much. May you live long and prosper, Friend

Regardless of what KZbin or anyone else thinks, you were one of the best, if not the best, GM channel available. I really appreciate all you did for all of TTRPG folks and your work was excellent! And as a 40+ year GM myself, you are the GM of GMs. Bravo, Sir! Respect.

[@the6ofdiamonds]

One of my favourite moments was directly messaging you about a campaign design problem (ultra-wealthy villain motivation), and you didn't just respond... you literally made a whole episode about it (How to determine what your Villain Wants). That was 6yrs back... and I still haven't started that campaign because of reasons. I do also totally get the finite channel thing. I literally started making (bad) videos because I spent a long time in one series of games, and discovered that people just did not understand how the game worked. I uploaded the best I could manage at the time, knew they were bad, still think they're bad, still plan on redoing them... and yet, somehow, despite having not uploaded in over 4yrs... people still inexplicably show up. I will, inevitably, run out of content for that one series, no matter how much hairsplitting I do. One story ends, begin again. See you on the adventure channel.

[@dylank1329]

Deeply saddened by these news, but I totally understand. Damn, this hits me hard. I have been following your channel since 2018, when I first started GMing. Your videos have been very inspiring and motivating, and grealty helped shape my main rpg into what it is today, a project i'm truly proud of, where my players enjoy coming back every session, and creating art about it. I remember first watching some of your videos about campaign creation and taking some clumsy notes into a little notebook that I still keep today after years. Now I still come back when I need specific advice, and your channel has always delivered. I wish you the best, Guy. Thank you for all you have taught me and many others.

As for memorable moments, I have puzzled my players with "A king is ill..." ciphered message, which they spent an eternity trying to figure out. And the drow are now using web spider messages as the standard procedure in my games as well. Additionally, my players are now paranoid of a folieraptors. They still check the bushes from time to time, just in case. All in all, from all the DnD channels, yours have given me the most ideas over the years. Thank you.

I will never forget how your videos shaped the foundation of my world, even if it has change so much from where I started watching your videos. My world is one of my proudest creations and I have you in part to thank for that! I wish you the best of futures ahead, I will totally be watching your Guy D'adventures!

I nearly cried watching this, dude. Your videos really helped me learn to GM (I've been doing so for nearly four years now). I used your advice on worldbuilding and character design to make my own world and elaborate history. I used your advice on naming things and giving them personality, which has created many spectacular adventures and characters my players loved. I especially used your advice on pacing and plot points (still need to work on that though). To this day, I find even your older videos still relevant and helpful, and I go back to watch them from time to time. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these over the years. Here's hoping your new channels will live long and prosper!

6:04 this is really odd to me, I've never heard of KZbin limiting what you can do with a 2nd channel. At least here in the US, it's pretty normal right now for gaming KZbinrs to make a second channel because the second channel has way better ability to find new people and rack of views.

He has to be using hyperbole. "KZbin" I think is the dropping viewer base

[@dchitt94]

@@erichjohnheller2373 I disagree. I think he’s literally talking about KZbin the company because he talked about going into their London offices

Man, you have a great body of work to be proud of

[@theuglydm]

Thank you, for your time, energy, effort and love that you've put into your channel and into helping people around the world come together in a wholesome way. Cheers, all the best in your upcoming endeavours!

Thank you for all the great advice through the past few years from when I first picked up the DMG to today running a homebrew campaign, you have always had videos answering questions that I've had and surely have made myself and many others better DMs! Bless you and whatever comes next for you I know will be great!

I’m livid that the algorithm hasn’t been putting you in my feed. Discovered you around covid, I think? Maybe a bit before. And I’ve loved everything I’ve seen. Thank you for making me a better gm

[@michaelschlobohm8877]

Sadly KZbin just wants quantity regardless of quality. It's a crap business model, and loads of creators who should be allowed a platform are being, as you said, "culled. Shunted off. Etc.."

The end of an era. Thank you. For your time, for your influence, for giving us unique insights and sharing your knowledge with us. Thank you and good luck on your future endeavours.

You have been absolutely instrumental in giving me the confidence to be a GM. Yesterday I sat in a coffee shop all day with one of my players giving him the same advice you gave to me. He will be running his first adventure, unbeknownst to the other players, on Saturday and I cannot wait. I will be following both channels

[@esperthebard]

All the best to you in your new endeavors!

[@toddcampbell-crow8615]

Thank you for ALL of your kind, thoughtful help, Guy!

[@SuperDracko999]

You have been and always will be a great inspiration for new and old players alike. Thank you for being a greatly inspiring part of the community

[@lasselaukkanen3574]

Thank you very much! Your videos have been part of my path deeper into the world of role-playing. I have received a lot of clarity and reassurance from you about what I like and what is important to me. Best wishes!

[@jonathanbartlett1098]

I'm going to miss this channel. I have been playing and running games for more than 30 years but there is always something new to learn. You helped me to challenge myself and refine my techniques to be an even better GM and storyteller, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything you gave us. On a side note, I am a huge fan of Star Trek and I can't wait to check out your new channels

[@johndoe2805]

Thank you for everything Guy. You're fantastic and helped me not only with my GM'ing but also with my own confidence and communication skills in my daily work. Will be following you in your new adventures but wanted you to know just how much of an impact you had on me! :)
