Good day gamers,

  • Would love feedback on this format of this Semi-Daily Dispatch. I sort of break it down like this: Quick notes of important/interesting things, a topic or two, salutation and XP awards, quotes from my immediate family (Foxy, Lambie, Snuggle Bunny, Chester). Send feedback to Dave@GameMasterGames.com.
  • Played some Ingenious last night with Ginger for date night. We each won one game.
  • Played some Close Combat with Bill last night. I won, but Bill is learning the game and the scenario is set up that he is on the offensive against a tough defensive line to begin with. He is also fighting in hedgerow country. We are playing the ‘Gateway to Caen‘ version of the game. Would love to teach this to more people. Let me know if you are interested.
  • Veterans Day is Wednesday. It’s always November 11th each year, which is the Armistice Day for World War I. I have off from the Post Office. I’m a veteran, so I’ll spend some time reflecting on things that day. I hope to join a VFW post soon and maybe march in a parade one day.

Streaming: So, if you don’t know already, I stream quite a bit, but I only have a regular show, Over Coffee, on the LITabletop Twitch Channel. The other times I stream are usually at night, but they could be a random mix of times. I also follow a bunch of other streamers. Streaming is fun, but there is some technical things that always seem to cause problems, either audio, video or the Streamlabs OBS program I use doesn’t grab the source and broadcast it. It can get very frustrating. I usually stream to Twitch and then move the videos over to YouTube. I did do Facebook LIVE on Wednesday nights for over a year, but I’ve moved to Twitch now. Anyhow, you can find me at these sites:

  • My Twitch Channel: GMGDave
  • Long Island Tabletop Streaming Network, Over Coffee show and other great content: LITabletop Twitch
  • I watch Dwarf Fortress on the BlindIRL Channel.
  • I watch Hearts of Iron on the CountCristo Channel, but he hasn’t streamed as much recently. You can find his YouTube Channel here.
  • My Supervisor streams here.
  • My wife streams here with her church stuff. Daily prayers and our weekly church service here.
  • Dee Dee, a local Long Islander playing games online, streams here.

Please go to all the channels and Follow them to help all these great streamers out. There are several other local streamers too, but they don’t seem to go online too often.

Do you have a favorite streamer? Please comment or send me an email at Dave@GameMasterGames.com.

Shows: I have always been a Netflix, YouTube, HBOGo junkie, watching a video or playing a game almost every day at around 10pm. I’ve seen some good content recently, but may not link every show. What are you watching?

  • Mandalorian, just saw the first episode of Season 2.
  • The Dragon Prince, watching with Ginger and we are liking it.
  • Snowden. Pretty good and shocking. Oliver Stone film, so probably a bit more dramatic than what really happened, however, if 10% is true, it’s still crazy!!!
  • The Trial of the Chicago 7, good film. Ginger and I fact checked it and a few of the scenes are dramatized, but it captures the essence of the time very well.
  • The Impossible, pretty good. Will fact check, but shows the craziness of dealing with a tsunami disaster.
  • Unsolved Mysteries: Tsunami Spirits, Good episode. Also about a Tsunami. Amazing stories.
  • Barbarians, I found surprisingly that it is loosely based on a true story. If we grew up in Germany, we would know this story as it is part of the culture there. However, a lot of dramatized scenes and some characters are not actual historical figures. I stopped watching.
  • Hannibal, interesting show. I liked it, but stopped watching.

Thank you so much for reading another of Dave’s Semi-Daily Dispatch. Give yourself 100 XP and until we meet again across the internet on one of the above listed Twitch Channels, keep you mice dry, your streaming software ready and your chatting/typing finger strong!

Foxy, “Mr. David, thank you for the pork chops and for keeping them on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, so I can get to them. They are divine.”

Lambie, “Dude, the asparagus you harvested looks delish. Nom, nom, nom. Good going, my friend.”

Snuggle Bunny, “What is a stream? Foxy says it’s water in the woods. Is that true, Boo Boo?”

Chester, “Chester. Chester.”
