It's been quiet on the blog lately as parenting has taken up so much of my free time this year. I wanted to post a link to the full playlist of videos in my "How to Play Scarlet Heroes" series because I kept forgetting to post links to them each time one was published. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVO-BKbl8D70HIO0Ffi-dNXXYjeEsQYiU&si=1gE9fEp7m8UUqYpj The full list of episodes is here: Introduction & Character Creation Campaign Setting & Game Rules Combat Scenario Urban Adventures I Urban Adventures II Wilderness Adventures Dungeon Adventures Running a Published Adventure Solo Part 1 Running a Published Adventure Solo Part 2 One-On-One Actual Play: Stonehell Running a Published Adventure Solo Part 3
