Heya! Just want to do a quick check-in on how you feel about the recent 40k lore video.

Cause I ain't gonna lie, it was kinda difficult to fit an overview of a faction within a short. There was so much cool stuff to cover! Did it work as an introduction to the faction? Or would you prefer I focus on more specific topics that assume a baseline knowledge of the setting?

No matter what, I still plan on making TTRPG videos (specifically Making a Megadungeon and Lancer frame videos) as well as memes and voiceovers! Nothing's going away, just a matter of making it all fit the schedule.

And if you wanna see more, drop a channel membership and/or support the channel on Patreon. To be direct, the more work I put in to the channel the more I need to justify the opportunity cost of not doing other things. And every bit helps! www.patreon.com/AroWrites

Thanks for your viewership, your attention, and your comments! I wanna make the best content for you I can, so stay tuned~💛

Schedule for the week of 1/5/25-1/11/25!💛

Minor change to the weekly schedule! I have some more stuff cropping up off-channel, so I'm gonna swap to doing Making a Megadungeon and Lancer Frame video every other week on the same slot. Those two take up the most time, so my hope is this'll free me up some.

So naturally as soon as I do this I might as well research and produce a 40k video, THAT won't go poorly...

Also, another Hunter's Archive? I thought we did all the Sins? Hm...

ULTRAKILL POG?

Also, I hope all of you enjoy the New Year! 2025 was absolutely wild, where just to hit some of the channel highlights:

-We QUINTUPLED the YT channel, reaching 17,600 subscribers
-We got up to 600 members on the AroCord (here!)
-Up to 850 on Twitch from ~200
-Hit >75 CCV on a livestream
-Hit 100,000 views on a longform video
-Got >100,000 views on multiple shorts, one of which was nearly a MILLION
-Released an actual, no-joke song cover (that was nevertheless silly)
-Accounted for 2% of the Scorched Basin Kickstarter, where there were HUNDREDS of other communities
-Got in contact with the devs of various TTRPGs like Girl Frame and the Harpocrates Dossier
-Got noticed by multiple larger creators in the same niche

Then there's more I didn't even mention like how many Megadungeon rooms we made or how many folks we introduced to systems like Lancer and CAIN.

What's new for 2026? I'm not one for New Year's Resolutions, but I do have a couple things planned:

-I'm gonna release an actual, straight-up, self-contained TTRPG. Ideally within the next month! At least in an initial state
-The Girl Frame full-on review is coming! Yes, in a maid dress. Yes, I will discuss the lewd stuff (in a manner suitable for YouTube)
-More longform content! Hopefully at least a few that aren't stream highlights? But the goal is have a healthy balance
-40k painting streams! I haven't painted in well over a decade, so advice is much appreciated!
-At least one more silly song cover, it was so much fun to make. Recommendations welcome
-An actual play? On MY vtubing channel? More likely than you think... No promises

I am continuously humbled and amazed at the support and creativity you have shown. I hope to one day be worthy of your attention.

As always, have fun~ 💛

Schedule for the week of 12/29/25-1/4/25! 💛

I'm gonna be live later than normal on Wednesday to celebrate the New Year! Will I be planning anything special?

No.

TTRPG TALK INTO THE NEW YEAR POG! And who knows, maybe I'll do something funky last-minute. I'm wont to inspiration at the eleventh hour.


My hope is to keep this week kinda light, given the holidays and this being the closest I've given myself to a break in a while. That being said, I skipped Lancer last week so you get it this week! There's no poll this week since the last one tied, so I'll just tell you it's gonna be the

It's that time of the year again, huh? Christmas, holidays, my birthday... Quite a lot going on. So hopefully you don't mind me taking it easy this week!

Be on the lookout for a mystery video Christmas Day! Even I don't know what it's gonna be, but the goal is it's either gonna be REALLY CRINGE or... No, it's gonna be cringe no matter what.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a very merry unbirthday to you!

Schedule for the week of 12/9/25-12/22/25! 💛

Hey, didn't I already play Hollow Knight? Why is that... Oh no. The Vtuber who can't platform is doing the Path of Pain. Just don't expect me to play it very long, unless you pay me... Wait I just reinvented a subathon, DANGIT.

We got Faust Fridays! There's a new story to read with members, so be on the lookout for what is widely considered the magnum opus of German literature. As always, the streams are Members Only but go public right after!

Also, the Creatures TTRPG video has been hanging over my head and, to be completely forward, really stressing me out. My goal is to get it out by the end of the month alongside a playtest version of the system, ideally the 25th? It'll be 40 minutes of me rambling my custom lore, so I hope that interests you even if it's a bit less visually-edited than my usual style

Schedule for the week of 12/8/25-12/15/25!💛

You might have noticed I didn't release the longform TTRPG video I planned to last week. This is actually a collective hallucination and that's crazy, you're making this up. I'd never miss an upload...

Also, no stream on Friday! We just wrapped up the King In Yellow but I'll be busy that day, so I'll set up a Members poll for what story to start up the following week. Currently looking at Frankenstein or Dracula, though suggestions on anything public domain is welcome!

I'm trying my very best to maintain as consistent a schedule as I can, so I apologize for all the times it jumps around. I hope to make it up to you by making the best content I can, if nothing else

I forgot to post the next Lancer poll! So my apologies, but that means I'll be kicking it a week.

Also, I just finished Hollow Knight on Twitch! Later this month I'll run a subathon where your donations add to a timer that I'm forced to attempt the Path of Pain for the duration of. This'll be for the holidays, but also my birthday. I haven't done anything like this before, so I'm a bit nervous.

Stay tuned for info.

Starting Dispatch Sunday instead of Saturday... I think that's it for announcements?

Oh, also I've been making a TTRPG. You create a species in a stone-age world where magic is fading, rapidly evolving to keep up with a changing landscape. Like the Spore creature/tribal stages, but with magic.

But you're not interested in that, right?

Thursday's video will basically me just ranting about lore I wrote for 40 minutes...You asked for this. Patrons should have a playtest document within the next week, then the proper 1.0 drop will come later. If you want early access to it, join the Patreon here: www.patreon.com/AroWrites
