Blazing Ahead (January 2024 newsletter)

Despite the title and the header image, this won't be about Fury Road Vendetta. But I did play it recently and just can't get enough of this character. The game is great too. Just the dumbest of fun.

Workers of the World, Unite!

The people have spoken and Hegemony has won the poll! I'll be juggling this game and another that I've been hired to teach, so this will either be finished in February or March, but it will be soon either way. Dune Imperium: Uprising got second place, so that'll survive to the next poll once agai...

Hey folks, just a reminder that we've got two polls going on right now. There's the one for which game I'll be teaching next, and there's also one I posted a little while ago about what you'd like to see ...

What Should I Teach Next?!

Hey folks! In the latest suggestions post there were a ton of great options, including several games that were tied for most popular, meaning I have to whittle that down a bit, but I'm also going to give up my editor's choice to give one of them an extra spot, and of course the 2nd place games fr...

Suggest me some games!

Hey Rules Lawyers! It's that time again. Time to suggest games to be put on the next "what should I teach" poll. The last poll had two games tied for second place: Dune Imperium: Uprising and Nucleum, so they'll both be guaranteed a spot. As for the rest, you tell me! As always you can suggest up...

What do you want to see from RTFM in 2024?

Hey folks, I've got a few ideas of things I'd like to start doing or do more of in 2024, and I'd love to get your opinion on what you'd like to see. While I won't be able to do everything, depending on which options are most popular, I can probably do more than one, so vote for all the ones that ...

Goodbye 2023! Hello New Year! (Dec 2023 newsletter)

Hey folks! 2023 was a hell of a year. I released more tutorials than I ever have in a year before! Made more commissioned videos than I've done in a year before. And for both of those, I'm kinda hitting the upper limit to how many I'm currently able to do with the time I have. Because I focus on ...

A Little Rickety but Still Trucking (Nov 2023 newsletter)

Hey folks, this is gonna be a quick newsletter because I don't have too much to report. I was hoping to get Barrage finished by the end of November but a short bout of food poisoning and a very unfortunately timed case of covid has slowed me down considerably. I'm all better now, and honestly the...

Hope y'all like Kpop!

BTS has officially won the poll, and this time it was by quite the margin, so that's the game I'll be teaching next. I try to be impartial with these polls, but I have to admit I was rooting for this one. In second place though we have a tie between Nucleum and Dune Imperium: Uprising, so I guess...

Happy Halloween...yesterday (Oct 2023 Newsletter)

Hey folks! I'm afraid I don't have anything spooky for you. Halloween has come and gone and all I managed to do was watch Coraline, which my wife has talked about for years and I'd never seen. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend. Anyway! I've had quite a productive month. Mostly this was fill...

So...does anyone own Barrage?

I've been trying to get in contact with the publishers, but they have been entirely incommunicative. I'll buy it if I need to, but I figured I'd ask if any of you have a copy that you wouldn't mind letting me borrow. I would of course pay for shipping. And if you have the Leeghwater expansion, th...

It came down to a difference of just ONE vote, but Barrage will be the next game I teach. For those who were hoping for Beyond The Sun, since it got second place it will live to see another poll. For now, I've got some final edits to do before uploading John Company. Thanks for voting!
