Six years ago (really? wow) I posted about Zee Bashew's terrific D&D explainer videos. Well he's still making them, and is trying to do one a week for the next few months! Here are some he's made since I last told you all about them: What is a grognard? - Ceremony - Encumbrance in 5E - The Awful Way I Ran 5E Survival - Magic Mouth - Oops! All Wizards - 5E Players Try 1E (AD&D) - Healer Feat - The Problem With The Awaken Spell (sad/funny) - Dangers of Metagaming - Option: Quantum Inventory - Grappling in 1E. If you enjoy D&D, or just learning or watching videos about it, Zee Bashew's Channel is great.
Zee's videos are the closest thing I can imagine to a YouTube version of self-published D&D zines. I think they're great.

The "Destroy The C@" gag on the computer hits differently these days, though.
(For context - the gag was originally a reference to Zee's crossover with JoCat in the latter's Crap Guide To D&D, where he (and his spellbooks) got immolated via Fireball, resulting in him having a "vendetta" which was solved via judicious application of whale (trust me, It Makes Sense In Context.) But after JoCat was pretty viciously bullied off YouTube a few months back...it doesn't feel so funny anymore.)

Oh so it's not an attack on Objective C. That's too bad.

I will, however, continue to watch Zoe’s videos because they are uniformly delightful. I’d love if he’d do more campaign story animations but his system analysis shorts are also a lot of fun.
