It's Monday again, so I think it's time for something fun to be spotlit here. This time, it's a YouTube channel: The Templin Institute.
As the video below shows, this channel focuses on Executive Summaries of factions within well-known media SF properties. They have an ongoing affiliation with another channel I enjoy (Spacedock), and are part of a cluster of channels that deal in worldbuilding and fictional lore as a topic of interest.
Besides being entertaining in their own right, Templin's videos are good examples of how to present information. This is the sort of information presentation--documentary style--that one expects out of a historical archive agency, public or private, introducing some other group before launching into a detail report and analysis. You can easily imagine Templin being a private spin-off from one or more Intelligence agencies, through which covert operations and non-official cover identities can be had. For you gamers and writers out there, this channel just handed you a ready-to-go drop-in-and-play organization that's all about facilitating the sort of thing you love to do with RPGs and fiction: have exciting adventures in fantastic places doing fantastic things with fantastic people.
Subscribe to this channel (and to Spacedock). You'll be glad you did. If you want a taste, here's a video to give it a try.
