I make animated videos about RPGs. Thanks for stopping by!
I animate using FireAlpaca to draw the images and Hitfilm 4 Express to give them motion. Both of those programs are free and great. I highly recommend them. I also used Moho 12 (Anime Studio) for the lip-sync scenes, but it's pretty bad as a drawing program. I use FireAlpaca to draw.
A few videos are exceptions to the process above. Adobe Animate was used exclusively for the following videos: Nobilis, D&D Character Cat, Should the GM Cheat, and Critical Role. However, I switched back because I didn't like Adobe Animate as a drawing program.
Also, all of my artwork, for the first year, was made using a mouse. The "Critical Role Animation" video was the first one where I used a drawing tablet (Cintiq 13HD).
I use a Blue Yeti microphone.
I closed my PO BOX recently!

UPDATE: Unfortunately, Zenkaikon has been cancelled! I was originally going to be out there between 3/20/2020 to 3/22/2020 for the convention, but it's been cancelled due to the Coronavirus risk.

Hey Everyone! So, I've been taking quite a bit of time to work on a homebrew superhero game that's based on 5e (but not 5e compatible! I call it a 'hacked 5e') If you're curious to see what I've been working on, up sharing some of the files up at the site: puffinsite.wixsite.com/website which is a site I'm really only using to share these files. The game is still very VERY ROUGH, ugly, and MILES away from being in a playable state, particularly the enemies section is VERY sparse. But if you want to look it over, you're welcome to. Enjoy! If you do try to run it, be warned, there's probably going to be many rules questions that the rules don't have answers for. On the site there's: the base rules, pregens, blank character sheet, and some sample enemies.

(Me Several Weeks ago): If I submit a panel to PAX West, they probably won't accept it, but I got nothing better to do.
(Me now): *nervously sweating. Never run a panel before*
