What is Barlow Keep, My Story & What Are We Doing Here?

[@TheEclecticGoat]

So awesome to have a group of players who can get into the game like that, and really feel it, rather than acting like the GM is just there for wish fulfillment.

[@BarlowKeep]

Oh no don't get me wrong they totally act like the GM is just there for their wish fulfillment 😅 But they did kind of get invested with this one NPC and their story...they were involved with this NPC for over a year. And I think play consistency is key, we played every week ...maybe missed 2-3 in over a year.

@@BarlowKeep That’s awesome. Everyone here is so far away and winters are terrible so getting together can be tough. i had an amazing group for a long time and then… covid 😔

I am definitely with you. I used to be in a band, play more music, work on short stories, build worlds for gaming, was working on a horror game in unreal...Life makes it hard to keep up with art, but it is always worth it. I'm glad you decided to get back into art, and I'm here for the ride on you channel. Keep creating. 😁

Hey! thank you for doing what you love! I arrived for your Crown and skull, but stayed because of your energy and your drive to share what you are passionate about.

[@BarlowKeep]

In a way this channel is a direct consequence of Crown and Skull. Awesome stuff! Thanks for sticking around :) Very happy to have you onboard!

Great video, man! I loved hearing that origin story of discovering trrpgs, a grand tale we all share. Cheers, amigo. 🙏❤️

[@BarlowKeep]

Or maybe it is more like a tale of rediscovery! 🤔 Joe, thank you a ton for your encouragement and support! 💙 Skal!

I'm back to like comment, I've already subscribed...keep making great content, and I'll keep commenting and liking!

[@BarlowKeep]

Thank you! I am very glad that people are enjoying my stuff :) If you have any special topic that you'd like me to look at, just drop me a comment and I'll see what I can do!

[@TheShepherdFilms]

@@BarlowKeep Topic if you have any thoughts on it; Any thoughts on how to get your players to roleplay with each other more? Seems like a lot of the time, each player is only roleplaying with the DM(me) but not so much each other.

Great work on hitting 500+ subscribers! Next stop: five million, right? That book sounds intreguing, I've just ordered a copy! The big thing I really like about your channel is that you're thinking so deeply about each of the topics discussed, and taking a deep dive into what makes them interesting. I learn something... well lots of things, from every video! Also +1 to a Discord server - I'm sure it'll fill up with some really cool people! Thanks again for the shoutout! You've helped me just as much as (if not more than) I've helped you! Lots of love from (actually sunny for once) Scotland! ❤

[@BarlowKeep]

Five million? That is almost the population of Serbia😅 I don't think that would ever be possible for this niche of a thing. Next milestone is 1000 for sure :) You really helped me out a lot understanding what I want to do with the channel, what i should focus on and where i can improve! Thank you for all your help and these kind words! You are so close to 500 as well! Can't wait to see your "500 special"! :D

It’s refreshing to see such heartfelt and inspiring material from someone who isn’t just trying to get more traffic through gimmicks. Keep up the great work!

[@BarlowKeep]

Thank you, it means a lot coming from a fellow creator...and right back at you, I really dig your stuff!
