My Life As A Gamer: Meet Mr. Welch

"Mr. Welch" began as a meme on RPG Net, as an adaptation of old military memes about "Things Private Bob Is Not Allowed To Do". It's taken a life of its own, surpassing the military original in gaming circles. It even has a site of its own now.

Sooner or later, someone was going to appropriate the trope to use it for their own purposes and that time came years ago. The playlist comes from a YouTube channel using the Welch persona to comment--more or less accurately--on tabletop RPGs. This playlist in particular covers three of the worst TRPGs ever published: FATAL. The World of Synnibarr, and Phoenix Command.

The other games he's mused about are also interesting, and I'm familiar with most of them if not well-experienced. Some are good, some are bad, some are just odd. Most of them have issues that cause them to play badly somehow. You'll be entertained with this Welch.
