The general structure of the game being covered in EXP
Join our discord! This will be the primary area for the discussion.
The game will first be announced in the discord and a video. At any given time we will try to have the next 2-3 games lined up.
At the start of the month a short video will be released covering any pre-game discussion. Are notable things to know about the development and general history of the game. As well as anything to be aware of before playing. Such as recommended version/release. Everyone will be encouraged to share in the discord early thoughts. Maybe if they played the game before do they expect their opinion to change? Or if they haven’t played the game what are they most interested in about it?
During the course of the month, everyone is encouraged to share progress, ask for help or share tips. If you stream we encourage you to let people know when you stream specifically the game being covered.
Finally at the end of the month there will be a wrap up discussion. This will be done in a podcast format. Which will talk not only about their experiences but interact with chat and hear their experiences too. Both in the wrap up video and discord people will be encouraged to give a short review, if they enjoyed the EXP with that game and if they would recommend it. The Discussion stream will be stream on Filbert’s YouTube and Twitch.
In a nutshell

That will be EXP Monthly. And a few important notes to hit on.
First and most importantly, this is meant to be a fun and chill community. Of course we are going to be critical about games but always try to frame stuff as constructive. Also make sure to not state opinion as fact. That is often the biggest issue in many opinionated spaces in gaming.
Be respectful of others in the community and their opinions. Many of us will have very different views on what is a good game or fun game.
If you’re not playing that month's game for whatever reason, you're still more than welcome to join in all the discussions.
