Ben's Pirates CSG Blog

January vlog: 
Computer issues
potential economic problems coming    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by1OgqQQANg
expect less Pirates content this year
looking for podcast guests
Preference going forward would be 1 THC session, 1 podcast, and 1 separate Pirates video per week, but can’t promise anything.

December 2018 update
MT alive and possibly surviving into the future.  
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.
