Broken Meeple Podcast 137 - Longform vs Shortform Content

It's been a very emotionally draining couple of weeks for me. Stressful work, a hacked FB account, other personal stuff, lack of time, heatwaves, the UK Expo and lots of unnecessary abuse/pushback on Facebook making that platform seem less and less desirable for board game creator content.

But we must push forward and even though I get to spill out my soul for camera in this episode, I still get to talk about my positive experience with SAIL and my not so positive experience with Veiled Fate............which got me a lot of abuse online for not liking it, seriously there are some fragile ego's out there.

And some of those tests on our resolve have impacted some of my friends in the industry where I see them get pushback/abuse also. It's unjustified and one of the hot topics is shortform vs longform creation. We prepare longform content and there's reason for that, we are critical reviewers, not quickie overviews. We need the time. And yet apparently that gives the right to people to eviscerate my friends and myself for choosing longer content. Well I have some thoughts to say on the matter so strap in - this will require some restraint!

Who Am I?

One single batchelor from the UK talking about his passion for board games and the people who play them! I support small content creators, board game cafes and go against the status quo when it comes to the board game industry. I give my honest opinions without bias towards any publishers or designers and will not hold back if I don't like a game.

The Broken Meeple is a variety channel that hosts all kinds of board game content from reviews to Top 10 lists to playthroughs to live stream collaborations with special guests (predominantly small channels who deserve more exposure).

I look forward to engaging with you, the community on my live streams or in the comments on my videos!
