bought castles and crusades, what videos should i watch?

[damned]

Excellent videos/tutorials! Highly recommended.

Thanks John.
I opted to go with as short as possible videos on a single topic each.
Can watch one or more as needed.
I didnt do voice - hopefully it doesnt need it - but can do if it would be better.
Only been doing this for one day so learning as I go - in video 5 I realised I could use all the black space to the left and right of the videos for my comments instead of putting on top of the graphics....

I think the next videos will be:
Encounters
Pins on map
Sharing Content with players privately
Effects

Completely open to suggestions.

Ive just added Setting up Encounters:

Heads-Up damned - the link on the Video Page of the Wiki DOES NOT point to your Videos but to Jeremy Wilkerson's. You might want to let Moon know

Cheers

I think Moon Wizard has fixed now....
Thanks Dulux

[EDIT] Its now 5 Videos for a total of about 18mins (18/05/2014)

[EDIT] Added a 6th - Setting up Encounters for a total of about 22mins (19/05/2014)

[EDIT] Added a 7th - Using Tables for a total now of about 25mins (21/05/2014)

[EDIT] Added an 8th - Using Shortcut Pins for a total now of about 29mins (22/05/2014)

TVS Castles & Crusades - New Campaign - 2mins
TVS Castles & Crusades - Add Story Content - 3mins
TVS Castles & Crusades - Add Image Content - 3mins
TVS Castles & Crusades - Add NPCs - 4mins
TVS Castles & Crusades - Working with Tokens - 5mins
TVS Castles & Crusades - Setting up Encounters - 5mins
TVS Castles & Crusades - using Tables - 3mins
TVS Castles & Crusades - using Pin Shortcuts - 4mins (New 22/05/2014)

The videos are nice and short - they cover a pretty small subject each time but that subject often overlaps a little with other subjects. If you watch the video and do something similar in Fantasy Grounds at the same time it will probably take you 2-3x the video length and you should have that knowledge tucked away for future use.

Upcoming topics will include:

Pins on map - DONE
Sharing Content with players privately
Effects

Ive given in and added Voice - I think the video takes a little longer - I talk too much perhaps - but it was quicker to produce and Ive gone widescreen...

[EDIT] Added a 10th - Setting up Magical Weapon Bonuses for a total now of about 39mins (23/05/2014)
Now it begs the question... do I go back and redo the early ones?

[EDIT] Added an 11th - Sharing Secret Information for a total now of about 45mins (24/05/2014)
Thats it for tonight!!! I hope to do Effects next - but till Sunday.

These are long overdue - nice work, and good choice of arrangement. I like the choice to do a lot of nice short subjects.

The long format video is already well served and seemed like too big a task for me.
I thought single topic videos were easy for me to make and easy for people to watch just the bit they needed.

The last 3 videos have Voice and display more FG screen realty.
Do you think I should go back and redo the first 8...? I wont be in any hurry - but wouldnt mind your thoughts - are the text only or text+voice better?

Do you have any other topic suggestions? Once I do Effects (once I get my head around them) I think that the GM series might be about done for now...
