Me, Myself and Die!

In 2019, Trevor Devall started the Me, Myself and Die! channel on YouTube, focused on actual plays of solo tabletop role-playing games, such as Savage Worlds, Ironsworn and Dominion Rules. In Me, Myself and Die!, Devall plays tabletop RPGs alone, covering both popular systems, as well as bringing attention to indie role-playing games.

The channel also features the series The Sage's Library, in which Trevor Devall reviews and discusses various tabletop role-playing games from his library. The videos cover many TTRPG systems, such as Traveller, Pathfinder or The Burning Wheel.

The Broken Empires

In October 2024, Trevor Devall started a Kickstarter campaign for his tabletop role-playing game called The Broken Empires, with the initial funding goal of US$10,000. By October 3 the project raised over $256,000 from more than 2,000 backers. The game is set in a gritty fantasy setting. Devall developed the system by picking and choosing mechanics from more than 125 other games over the course of four seasons of actual plays on his YouTube channel Me, Myself and Die!.

The game is promised to focus on exploration and intrigue, as well as to offer a lot of flexibility for the characters. One of Trevor Devall's ideas for the game is greater focus on social mechanics. He believes that some tabletop role-playing games, like The Burning Wheel, have too many mechanics for social interaction, while others, like OSR-style games, have none, and hopes to strike the right balance in The Broken Empires. For exploration mechanics, one of the major inspirations was The One Ring Roleplaying Game.

Voiceprint with Trevor Devall and Guests

Between 2007 and 2013, Devall produced his own podcast, Voiceprint with Trevor Devall and Guests, where he interviewed fellow Vancouver-based voice actors and answered questions from fans. Each episode featured a different voice actor as the episode guest, though some episodes featured other people in the voice-acting business that may not actually be voice actors themselves; or behind-the-scenes looks at the life of a voice actor. Topics usually included how the guest made it into the voice-acting business, what it is like working in the industry, and the general lifestyle of a voice actor. The series concluded after 36 episodes in December 2013. Devall stated in the final episode that he hoped to continue the show with a "second season" following his move to Los Angeles, but this has not come to pass.
