As per the title of this video, I have created a new youtube channel that I'll be uploading to and using from now on.
I know it won't make a lot of sense to some, and I'm losing out on a lot of potential subs and viewership by doing this, but it will make me much happier and feel more accomplished!
A new LARP season started back in May and I finally managed to get some time to edit up what footage I had! This is from Empire LARP by Profound Decisions.
If you'd like to give it a try, you can get £15 off your first event's ticket by using my referral number: 6619.12415
Please note that I am NOT allowed to film out and about around the event during character time, or the battles. What I HAVE filmed here, was done with the permission of the event organisers and the friends/people featured.
This was also a bit of an experiment and very improvised. For other events, I'll probably play around with the formulae a bit more.

NOTICE: Hey folks, I am so sorry this took so long to get out. If you don't follow my Twitter, I've had some major PC issues for the last week which prevented me from rendering any videos at all. :(
Luckily I now have a new PC at both Yogtowers and at home and this means I am back on track for videos!
WAY OF THE ELEMENTS MONK: A lot of people asked about this in the past, here's the final release of the revised Way of the Elements Monk I made for Jiutou on HighRollers:
