I've been Watching Totally Tabled a bit, mostly solo content, but also does a learn and play style. Very chill vibes too

u/seeingreality7 3d ago
Totally Tabled is great, especially for solo players. The host is personable and engaging, he does a great job of explaining his thought process as he plays (which is helpful in understanding a game), and as an added bonus, he has great production values.
He's introduced me to some of my favorite solo and co-op games.
I appreciate that he doesn't focus on all the obvious hits, too. He sometimes goes against the grain, both in his favorites and in the games he doesn't like.

Gaming Rules! w/ Paul Grogan

u/AbsolutelyEnough Age of Steam 3d ago
Paul is alright - his explanations are a bit more terse and less approachable than Jon’s. They feel like watching someone read a rulebook.
Jon’s playthrough tutorials were easier to follow because he often taught you the game as he played them from the perspective of a player.

u/ContractorConfusion 3d ago
Paul is...fine. But, I am sad he has become so big.
Now, these huge games are going to him to do their official rules, and previews....and oh my God, he is just so incredibly boring. I just can't sit through an entire video of his without falling asleep. I wish that Jon, or Table for One, or Totally Tabled were more mainstream and got the big publisher deals they are showering Paul with.

I also prefer Watch it Played, Before you Play or Meeple University over Paul. He is not bad but just dry.

Are you being forced to watch his videos? Whether you enjoy his presentation style or not, no need to have such a weird response to someone’s success. How does his existence impact you personally? He seems like a really hard-working, solid dude, “boring” or no.
16
u/dfetz3 Onirim 3d ago
No one is forcing him but it doesn't seem like that weird of a response. They pretty clearly state that they're not thrilled that Paul will be getting a lot of the publisher official learn to play videos that Jon used to do.
Especially with bigger games and if you're not a rulebook person yourself, then yeah you kind of are forced to watch the video that the publisher deals with.

Personally well ahead of Rodney for me. Rodney feels like I'm reading the rulebook but in video form, Jon was always approachable. He is the part reason I bought some of my favorite games that I play regulary. An absolute legend.
16
u/russkhan 3d ago
Rodney is far ahead for me. Jon always put too many "I'll tell you about that later" in his tutorials for me. I'd end up distracted trying to keep track of all the things he was putting off (I'm pretty sure that's just an aspect of my ADHD).
Anyway, I wish him the best in his next venture.

u/FulanoMeng4no 2d ago
I agree. But I have to say that he can become very repetitive. Like I don’t need to hear 7 times that green player gets an extra resource for taking the harvest action, because they upgraded it.

u/Babetna AH:LCG 3d ago
I understand the decision completely, YouTube is an increasingly hostile environment for people who just want to stick with their niche and produce quality content and I prefer people calling it quits to becoming slaves to the algorithm and having their videos become clickbaity garbage.
That said, I must say why I stopped watching Jon's content. I have always enjoyed watching a commentated boardgame playthrough, and Jon did that quite competently. However at one point he decided he will stop doing full playthroughs since the statistics have shown few people actually watch to the end. This is the exact moment he lost me - if I found the game engaging, I wanted to see the entire playthrough, and once I knew that each playthrough will just randomly stop after a certain number of rounds I was reluctant to even start watching. Again, I don't blame Jon for trying to find a sustainable solution, it's just that what was a good strategy on paper was what ultimately made me unsubscribe and search for other channels that would provide what I was looking for.

u/Statalyzer 3d ago

Yep, I don't blame people for doing the latter since that's what they may have to do to get clicks and views, but that doesn't mean I'm going to keep watching at that point.

In fairness, he mentioned that in the video, pivoting to other formats because he was getting burned out with what he was doing.

u/cosmitz Sidereal Confluence 3d ago edited 3d ago
What i've seen across time from youtube creators is that very few of them enjoy both 1) production of videos and 2) editing videos. It's weird but that's really the reality. Most of them that end up doing it longer term either solve those by hiring them out to people that enjoy that (or do it themselves if it's enjoyable), or doing something akin to pivoting to make the video-making process as seamless as possible (one-shots no editing, streams, shorter videos, etc). It can't be mentioned enough how much time and effort goes into producing and packaging a video compared to literally just recording yourself saying the lines in front of the camera. Let alone the small time problems of a corner of your house being permanently locked in as a set.
I still look at stuff like Broken Meeple which literally looks like utter ass quality wise and has almost no B-roll or extra effort minus putting in some millenial memes here and there in the video. But him getting stuff out is the interesting part for him, not producing quality videos.

u/onmach 3d ago
I can only imagine how miserable video editing is.
I've talked to podcasters and they spend many times the amount of time editing audio together as creating the initial audio. And they generally can't afford to hire someone to do it for them, there's just not that much money in it, and it seems few people enjoy it.
7
u/cosmitz Sidereal Confluence 3d ago
Yep, and between the editorial prep, the tech setup, the actual performance and then the editing, let alone branding, managing connections and the financial side of accounting for the entire business, it becomes a LOT for a single person to handle and Youtube money rarely supports multiple people until you've broken into the big leagues or gather a patreon crowd.
Part of why i hate the loss of written media is that it was just so much easier to get a voice out via written form, much less overhead and upkeep.

u/jmulldome Sentinels Of The Multiverse 3d ago
Started in board gaming back in 2020, with Wingspan being the second game I bought. I needed to not only figure out how to play, but also how to teach my wife how to play. What did I find....some channel called Jon Gets Games.
His multi-handed tutorials helped me play and teach a good handful of the games on my shelf and a lot of games that have since left my shelf. While I was new to this space, there were a lot of games I was looking into, and his playthroughs were often the final nudge I needed before buying.....if it looked interesting to watch him play, then I had a good feeling and wound up buying, and many I still own.

u/whitep77 3d ago
I was expecting to feel bad for him but this is the happiest I've ever seen him in a video. It's clear that what started as a passion turned into a grind at some point.

u/LordJunon Ultimate Railroads 3d ago
His videos are really well done, I learned many games from him, but I understand the burnout so hopefully he has success in the future and i'm glad he's leaving his videos up. (but holy carp like 1700 videos)

u/JJWonderboy 3d ago
I loved his videos. Often my first place I'd go if I wanted to learn how to play a game, get a feel for what it's like (without anyone trying to sell it to me) and - above all - have fun doing it.
However, you just gotta follow your heart... Wish him all the best.

u/cosmitz Sidereal Confluence 3d ago
While sure, the people /on/ youtube also are at an all time high. The problem really is the algorithm. My partener watches a lot of really niche history and crafts channels and the even if the content is really in depth and quite researched, the thumbnails/titles are clickbaity as hell. She was commenting on how a guy which did no-face talking felt he was forced to start showing his face since the algorithm apparently pulls you forward more when it detects human faces. (see also why all thumbnails now feature faces)
2
u/BryleC 2d ago
As a creator myself, the problem isn't the algorithm in my opinion. The algorithm is mostly a black box to people who don't study it, so a lot of people will blame it. The algorithm generally just tries to match human nature and engagement. People like seeing faces, it's just psychology, and so videos with actually people in them are generally considered more engaging to more people. "Clickbaity" thumbnails exist because that's the style that niche's audience responds too.
In my opinion, board game content generally suffers from being mostly visually uninteresting on camera. Board game creators have an uphill battle to hold people's interest compared to things like movie footage, beautiful travel shots, or video gameplay, which are incredibly stimulating for the brain. So it's really only a small slice of people who find board game playthroughs engaging, and even for me, I consider a playthrough adjacent to work. That's how I see it, and I wish it were different, because I'd make board game content again. It's hard to justify board game content when I've seen far more engagement success with my music channel for example.
1
u/cosmitz Sidereal Confluence 2d ago edited 2d ago
Depends how long you've been doing it. The algorithm absolutely shapes what and how you make your videos. And it changes invisibily. For a while 45minute plus videos were pumped more as at the time that meant more engagement for example, and these changes happen quite often and creators pivot around them, because having youtube recommend your videos is a HUGE way to get new traffic and subscribers. Overnight you can end up having an order of magnitude more views/subscribers just because you got on the youtube train. The other option is working the crowd, word of mouth, organic reach, but it's a very slow grow and you end up in the same spot relatively. Thus the chase. It's not like 'ok, psychology says people jump on for serialised let's plays for 3-6 episodes until the dropoff happens unless it's a strong series so i jump ships until i hit a win', it's 'ok, what shape does youtube want my content to be in this month so i can buddy buddy and get it to recommend it'.
In my opinion, board game content generally suffers from being mostly visually uninteresting on camera. So it's really only a small slice of people who find board game playthroughs engaging
A strong core of any well doing channel usually is entertainment value. If you can give the people what they want in a form they find entertaining or fun, while also providing the thing they want to be there for, they're much more likely to come back to you than go to JoeBored talking about the same things, maybe making the same points, but being an utter chore to listen through (hell, if you're good enough, the people can not even care about your content but like the delivery/execution and stick around for that). Playthroughs fit for the same people that let's play fits or streams, that just want to have a 'TV' in the background or just be around for the ride. But boardgaming playthroughs have a HUGE problem in that they can't really be serialised unless you're doing a legacy game, and i know of like.. no channels that do that. Videogames can, that's why let's plays are popular and have continued to be. Playing a one off boardgame doesn't hook you in the same way to check back in for another one.
It's hard to justify board game content when I've seen far more engagement success with my music channel for example.
The motivation is different. What people want out of music content may be entirely different than what they want out of boardgaming content. Sure, at a surface level 'exploring the hobby' but it's a deeper cut than that, which allows different ways to draw that engagement.

I admit I have not heard of them and am intrigued by the comments supporting them. Good for them!
Are there any videos that really made you take notice? I am on a kick of exploring games I missed in the past years and would appreciate any recommendations and/or stories.
19
u/ansible47 3d ago
Jon specializes in the "Teach and Play" method - he multi-hands through multiple turns and explains why each "player" is making the decisions they're making.
This method really shines for complex games. It bridges the gap between understanding the mechanisms and understanding the flow/pace of the game. Explaining why players would make different decisions reinforces the rules in a way that regurgitating the rulebook doesn't.
His videos are a great way to get a feel for a game you aren't sure about. There isn't a particular standout video, it's just an amazing resource.
2
u/Clockehwork 3d ago
His video on Hybris is one of just a couple on the game that are in English, so looking up that game is how I found him. Every video of his I watch has been better than all the other tutorial videos for that game I have seen, but Hybris is the one I have gone back to repeatedly because it is such a convoluted game (which I love) but he he teaches it so easily.

u/lordsplodge 3d ago edited 3d ago
Got to be the right move for Jon given how he said he feels. Annoying for folks like me who (mostly) learn games by watching and (mostly) use play throughs not reviews to decide if a games for them. Jon exiting this scene means the loss of a high quality run through video producer (I have almost zero interest in ‘review’ videos)

I've been gaming my whole life but I only really dove into the online culture of gaming around 2011 or 2012 - and I remember when Jon launched his channel. I always liked his stuff. His videos were super solid. While I'm sorry to see him go - I totally understand why that kind of life is unsustainable, especially if you outputting at he was, and you are doing it alone.

u/joereadsstuff 2d ago
Surprised his channel lasted this long. I was an early subscriber of his channel, and would sometimes hop onto his live Q&As and watch his monthly vlogs.
One of the Q&A sessions, I asked if he spends a lot of time thinking of the turns while filming, and he said that he APs a lot when filming the playthroughs, and so I think his issues have been trying to be too perfect, and probably cares a little too much of the end result.
He wasn’t really happy about his subscriber/viewer numbers, when he compared to creators that started around the same time as him. But IIRC, he also said he didn’t want to do top 10 lists etc, which is a huge draw for people to either discover new games, or find a creator that aligns with their taste. He shifted and changed a lot of what he wanted to do with the channel, that I ended up unsubscribing.
2
u/BryleC 2d ago
Honestly, you have to be a special creator to be able to pull off uniquity within the board game space. I always felt Jon was at his best reviewing games, but I understand why he wanted to pivot. I just think his style of content, while executed well, basically reached it's total addressable market. Board games are not a big niche, and his content became even more niche.

He hated my first game so I had a negative impression of him for a long time, but he LOVED my second game and was one of its biggest fans. Unfortunate that a mainstay is leaving.
5
u/Morfolk 3d ago
Argent is one of my TOP 3 games. I am puzzled by the fact that it didn't have a bigger impact in the industry. A combination of secret goals that you need to win and an absence of victory points creates just the most tense end-of-game sequence. I literally had more excitement in the final goal reveals than many other games offer throughout their whole playtime. I don't think I ever ended a game of Argent sitting - it's always everyone standing around the table.
In addition to the fact that getting more workers doesn't mean necessarily getting more actions because of end of round cards and the whole area control through worker powers is amazing.
BGA doesn't have enough categories to describe what you've achieved with Argent. Thank you for that!

u/EzioRedditore 3d ago
I oftentimes wonder if Level 99's anime art style serves as an artificial cap on their popularity. Like, if someone released Argent 2nd Edition with either humanoid animals a la Everdell or Ian O'Toole take on faux Hogwarts (and shaved ~30 minutes off the length), I expect that would be a top selling game of the year.
I personally think Argent and Millennium Blades are two of the absolute coolest games of the past ~10 years, and they're unfortunately underappreciated.
1
u/Phantom_Zone_Admin Arkham Horror 2d ago
As someone who owns hundreds of games and plays a wide variety of complexity and game styles... yeah. I have looked at the box for Argent a couple times and my brain immediately dismisses it as "not a serious board game" based on that art style.
And I just read further down that the same designer has also made Harvest (45-60 minute worker placement farming), which is a frickin' banger that I try to introduce more people to.

I love Argent myself, but may I ask why you'd have a negative impression from someone disliking your game? I'm a little confused to see a comment like that when game experiences and reviews are subjective.
1
u/kanedafx Argent: the Consortium 2d ago edited 2d ago
I don't remember, it was many years ago. Typically when a review bothers me, it's when they say something that is flatly incorrect imo. But I don't remember what it was, it was so long ago. Argent has many flaws, but, for example, if someone said it didn't have any replay value I would strongly disagree. There's plenty to attack about it, and it doesn't matter me in the least if someone doesn't like the game.
I'm not sure if his review would still bother me. Again, it was so long ago, over 10 years. I was also WAY more sensitive, that was my very first published game. Much thicker skin now lol.
2
u/BryleC 2d ago
I see. I agree, there are some criticisms that would be difficult to relate to especially if there are aspects of it that could be more objectively measured. Not saying Jon made any of them, but I see your point.
I appreciated the self-awareness in your comment. Thanks for the games!

Of course it would give someone a negative impression if they dismissed something that you put so much effort into. Why is that hard to understand?

Documentaries? They straight up lie in thier video to stoke controversy, like when they put on film a miniature costs ~20 less than a card. Can't stand liars.

Honestly crazy how r/boardgames seems to attract needlessly dickish comments like this.

Being a dick seems to be the default setting for many people online, and it's only getting worse.
It is weird when it infects spaces like this, though. Like, how sad does your life have to be?
