Pirates with Ben still improving, plenty of posts happening there. Finally posted in the FB group post (link below)Recording a big “video blast” this weekend - feel free to suggest topics, respond to video survey below.Why I won’t be doing many “terrain videos” - mine is not as aesthetic, plus tons of great tutorials out there like the one RossinAZ used. Also may not be doing many more pack opening videos - already have most of the stuff I could pull, plus I’ve already reviewed every ship that exists multiple times between the CRS and Set Review Podcasts.
