It's been far, far too long since I made a video longer than a minute. Not that this is MUCH longer, but it is...dense. :P

I'm moving more in a produced direction with much of my content, now that my new job makes streaming unpredictable. To start off, I get into my Dark and Darker Cleric Cosplay to deliver a sermon to the faithful members of the community.

New Dark and Darker YouTube Short! In this clip, I give in to my bloodlust by chasing down a Wizard instead of just taking the open portal home. From there, things...get a little wacky. (Oh yeah, and I'm in cosplay.)

I had already opened my portal to leave when I saw him: the Wizard that had been evading me for most of the match. I could have left, but bloodlust guided me...

New Short! For a small bit of time last night, many folks, myself included, were convinced that a team member of Ironmace (developers of my beloved Dark and Darker) was hacked. Just long enough for me to make some wacky theories.

Damn, that little kerfuffle on the Dark and Darker Discord had me acting REAL wacky until it got resolved.Catch more lulz live at:https://www.twitch.tv/StowGnar

Babe, wake up; new StowGnar Short just dropped!

During my short stint with War Thunder, I tried to set up my throttle and joystick for the game. It went...not so well, as evidenced here. >_>

Something tells me the game just doesn't play nice with the Saitek X-55 Rhino HOTAS. I just get a feeling, y'know?Join the wackiness LIVE on Monday/Wednesday...

Oh yeah, I have a page! Please, take this funny YT Short about my first kill in Dark and Darker as recompense. You'll be seeing a lot more of me around here soon, I promise. :D

I made a YT Short about my first solo kill in Dark and Darker...it was kind of an unprovoked murder. >_>

(Expect lots more DaD content from lulzy shorts to informative longs, soon! .....it's the only way I'm staying sane not being able to play it, TBH. XD)

The rush of my awkward and poorly executed first ever kill in Dark and Darker quickly gives way to introspection and regret.Catch me LIVE on Mondays, Wednesd...

Oh hey, I'm back. I stupidly stopped posting for a long time on FaceBook, but I'm coming back with a banger new YT Short of a common experience I have playing Mech Arena. Expect more updates here from now on! :D

Hey guys! I landed my first stream sponsor from a game that's actually awesome. I've decided to do a Surprise Second Sponsored Stream Straight from StowGnar's Sacred Space...in about half an hour. At 1pm CST, join my team in this free game I have been wrecking face at, in a march to PvP glory! Use the link below to get a HUGE starting boost. 😄

I've dropped what I admit is my pièce de résistance in weird janky video editing: my debut video for Advanced MW:D, an alternate ruleset for the MechWarrior:Destiny system. In there I explain some, but not all, of the balance and depth changes made.

Today we begin an experiment called Advanced MW:D. For anyone interested in trying out my optional rules and rewrites for MechWarrior: Destiny, simply save a...

It's been a heccin' MONTH since I last posted here? Jeez, life's been nuts. Still, I just released a YouTube video, viewable below, that I'm pretty proud of! It explains the homebrew and optional rules that will be used in BattleTech: Sins Unearthed. I've found that, when in doubt, just add more memes. :)

31/12/2021

Ta-NIGHT! I fulfill my promise to myself and the Internet to "run some kind of session by year's end" by running a Pilot Episode of Sins Unearthed. I'll be having two friends (Veron & TwoTonHuntyOne) jump into the Battlefield Simulator and get us all some practice in this new setting! Catch the action in about an hour at 9:30pm CST! https://www.twitch.tv/StowGnar

20/12/2021

I realized a little explanation was needed for what we can expect from my campaign. So, here ya go!

Is anyone else as heccin' amped for this campaign as I am?! Let me know if so, with any questions you have, in the comments!Join my Discord for starting date...

10/12/2021

Well guys, I'm honestly scared s**tless to GM my first campaign, but I'm also excited to share. Here is the audio-only "opening cinematic" the players will be experiencing in the Prologue to BattleTech: Sins Unearthed.

In this exclusive preview of the opening "radio play cinematic" for the Prologue to my BattleTech: Sins Unearthed tabletop campaign, a grizzled mercenary com...

Screw New Years Resolutions. You have to WANT to change, and the time of year doesn't dictate that. So, along those lines, I'm posting a schedule and sticking to it. It may change in the new year, depending on when my players want to do their regular sessions of BattleTech:Sins Unearthed. Either way, see you TONIGHT! :D

01/11/2021

SOON, this meme, but as a TTRPG campaign.

BattleTech: Sins Unearthed will begin with a prequel chapter known as Timing Is Everything, in which players will take the role of pregenerated MechWarriors and vehicle commanders from a small mercenary company on the very outer periphery of known space.

The prequel chapter is to give my players a chance to see how the RPG rules of MechWarrior: Destiny are played, without the pressure of long-term planning for character builds. Episode 1, however, will feature custom characters and art. :)

Date coming soon, but you'll be seeing it on: https://www.twitch.tv/StowGnar

15/07/2021

Hoo boy, I can't wait to finally tell my upcoming MW:D campaign players to roll initiative for the first time. It'll sound a little bit like...this. :D

Why hello there MechWarriors. Tonight at 7pm CST through midnight, I'm honored to participate in an official MechWarrior Online event, namely the Hot Targets, Fast 'Mechs, Cool Maps event that features YOURS TRULY as a BOUNTY TARGET! That's right, a large group of devs and streamers, myself included, drop an hourly-reset 300 MC bounty if you manage to take us out. (For anyone just wanting to get started, that is a huge chunk!) I guess a bigger question now is, does anyone wanna join my Protecc Posse to defend me from headhunters? XD

StowGnar returns tonight at 7pm CST playing MegaMek, leading WNRP Regiment's Alpha Company on an assault against the Wolf Empire's southern continental air base on Gienah II, in an evolving modified Total Chaos-style campaign.

Apologies for not announcing it sooner, but some real life changes have necessitated a break from streaming. Thankfully, I have decided the day I'll unironically begin streaming again: April Fools Day. Look forward to it, folks. I'm gonna make sure it's an entertaining one. :)

04/03/2021

Tah-night! StowGnar presents:

Science Fiction, Double Feature!
Two tales of tabletop turmoil!

Starting at 7pm CST, I'll be taking part in APGamingReal's Urbie Derby, piloting the cult favorite Urbanmech (a walking trashcan with that thang on 'em) against other similarly derpy bois. It promises to be a ridiculous time. :D

Then, at 9pm CST, which I may or may not end up late to, we have the latest entry into the story of WolfNet Radio Podcast's Alpha Company...which I somehow now find myself the captain of. An OpFor played by gracious other WNRP members outside Alpha Co. will attempt to keep us from clearing the area and providing a foothold for us to siege a major Clan Wolf base on Gienah II's northern continent.

If you're in for some giant stompy robot action, it promises to be a night full of it! Catch me live at 6:44pm CST on Twitch!

I decided to invest in some on-stream activities...what did I buy, you ask? Oh, y'know...some legal dabs. >_>

14/01/2021

Sooo, truth be told, I was mostly dragging ass on this MWO stream. Today tweren't my day when it comes to piloting a giant bipedal killing machine...EXCEPT for one magical 60 seconds that I managed to capture here, in which I manage a triple kill with my Wolfhound-2.

(Maybe fast and simple midrange light mechs really ARE my specialty! :0 )

Time for another Day Shift! At 3:33pm CST I'll be streaming for 3+ hours. My quest to "git gud" in MechWarrior Online continues, with the help of my fellow 'Mechjock Neobuzzard, and any viewers who wish to join!

About to go live for my first 8-hour stream! There will be lots of different stuff going on, but almost all of it will involve stompy robots. :P

Oh, and catch my latest highlight of me getting back into MechWarrior Online, which is the game I'll likely be starting my 8-hour variety stream with today! (It's much, much shorter this time. ;D)

Anybody want their name (or that of a character they make up) to be added to my ongoing MekHQ campaign, which contains hundreds of existing pregenerated characters I can modify to your liking? Choose from over a dozen roles including the prestigious MechWarrior, a tank commander, aerospace fighter pilot, technician, administrator, and many more! I'll be setting up a form for anyone interested tomorrow, but for now, I go live. Let's give my merc company, Elysian Feels, some zazz!

08/01/2021

Trying a little experiment today. In under half an hour I'll be doing a 3-hour daytime stream at 3:33pm CST. A friend raised a good point to me last night: streaming super late at night to have less competition is only one half of the equation: there's way less viewers! Time to see what the daytime crowd is like. :)

Greetings from the Creeper Cursed Coast, just shy of my guard tower treehouse, with my in-progress Mage Spire (pardon my Redstone Dust) looming in the back. I'll stream Minecraft again soon, since progress is deffs being made. I just didn't wanna stream the more mundane parts, y'know? :D

Ayyyyy, I finally made my first highlight reel! It highlights both in combat and out of combat gameplay from MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries , so it ended up being about an hour and forty-five minutes. I still managed to almost cut the time in half versus the stream length, at least! :P
