[QUOTE="Panda-s1, post: 7733012, member: 59554"] I'm surprised real-play podcasts and streams aren't on here. I mean they are just people playing games, but a lot of the more famous ones are offshoots of better known podcasts and streams, and it's always interesting to see how and why certain people play certain characters, especially when you know them for their personality outside the game. I suppose it's a much more meta version of the third level. ***************** y'know while we're on the subject of Appendix N, I just want to say how disappointed I was that the 5e version was still just a list of fantasy literature (inb4 someone tries to extol me on the virtues of writing over other media). it's definitely longer (and more diverse, wow) and some of my favorite newer books were on that list, but admittedly I don't read as much as play games and watch shows and movies and I'm sure many gamers nowadays use those as inspiration for their games and characters. when Gygax wrote the original Appendix N fantasy in media was scarce; and even comic books were mostly just adaptations of earlier literature. nowadays I can't go onto facebook without seeing a Game of Thrones meme on my wall, and even in the bygone time of my high school years the Lord of the Rings movies were a huge deal for everyone. heck, the [I]isekai[/I] subgenre is a hot trend (read: is absolutely flooding) in Japanese media right now, and that's basically a take on the visitation theme, albeit a lot more gamey and self-conscious.
