2nd Anniversary coming up [17th July 6PM CEST]
Edit 11th July 2025
Okay, there seems to be some interest so far. I'll start the stream on YouTube on Thursday, July 17, 2025, at 6 p.m. CEST. I can't say yet how long it will last; that will be decided spontaneously. I'll post the link to the livestream here on Patreon before I go live.
Original Post
Hey everbody,
on 17th July 2025 we celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the Racooze's Battlemaps.
A lot has really happened in that time.
First and foremost, I can see for myself how the overall style has changed from 2023 to today. Not statically, as I keep switching between smaller styles, but otherwise it stays the same.
At the same time, the quality of Forgotten Adventures' assets is also improving. The latest assets are of high quality, which naturally also enhances the quality of the battlemaps.
The YouTube algorithm has put a damper on things, impressions are hardly coming in anymore, but on average over 100 new patrons are joining.
And then there are you crazy people (I mean that in a good way) who diligently support me in every way possible: financially via Patreon tiers, with purchased PDFs, word of mouth on Reddit, and much more, or you who diligently watch the YouTube videos and thus feed the algorithm.
A big thank you to all of you.
Now to the actual matter at hand. Even though I'm not a big streamer myself anymore, I'll probably join YouTube and maybe Twitch online on that day and make one or a few maps, but more like remakes. There are a few from 2023 that could use a little refresh.
But now the question is, would you even be interested in a stream on July 17, and if so, what time? I'm not on vacation that day, but I'm working from home, so I can work on the side, no problem. That's why I've put together a poll with a few time options. Just mark the hour(s) (the time period is then from, for example, 9:00 a.m. to 9:59 a.m.) when you would have time and feel like watching. All times are CEST (+0200) – here's a converter for you: https://dateful.com/time-zone-converter
If nothing suitable or enough is found, I'll just go to Discord Voice and stream the whole thing there on the side as long as I'm motivated :)
Once again, a big thank you to everyone, and I hope for a large turnout.
