My gaming group and I have teamed up with a local independent film group to start a Pathfinder focused YouTube channel. We just posted our primer on Strange Aeons, a short video to players to discuss character options and get them excited for the new AP. We are looking for input and suggestions from the Paizo community, since it's you guys we are looking to impress. If you could take the time to watch the video and tell us what you think that would be awesome.

We were also thinking about making videos on some of the older AP, so if you like this and are gearing up for one let us know and we'll see about making it! Thank you in advance!

I absolutely love these, especially the one about vision. In my opinion, the Strange Aeons video is so far the weakest one. The nature of this AP and its character creation process, simply doesn't lend itself for a good summary video. The information is somewhat vague and rightfully so, because spoilering people would be way worse.

I hope you keep these coming and focus on game mechanics (maybe AoOs as the next topic?) or settings (like nations or you could add races?). I don't think making videos about is the way to go, because you have to be careful about what you put out there and run the risk of becoming a weak audio-visual player's handbook.

Neat! That's a pretty dang good introduction to the Adventure Path! Thanks for the work you put into the video.

I'm glad you've enjoyed the videos! We've been talking about taking on the beast that is AoO for a while. It's one of the things that commonly confuses many starting players, so it's a great topic to cover. You're right about it being difficult to keep it vague enough to avoid spoilers, but still capture the imagination of our players. Thank you for honest commentary, and I hope you like what we are working on next!
