[PtbA] Any good YouTube I can watch?

[Marc_C]

What Youtube channel do you recommend so I can watch how PtbA is played the right way?

 

[Marc_C]

Tik, tok, tik, tok, really? No one can point me to a 'right way to play' PtbA YouTube?

Do you want a specific PbtA game? And are you more interested in an actual play video or more like an instructional video?

Actual play. No specific game.

I think that The Gauntlet channel on youtube may be a good start. I've watched a bit of their stuff in order to see games in play. I'm a bit picky with my actual play videos, and the quality may vary a bit....but they have actual play videos and/or podcasts of Apocalypse World and most of the major PbtA games like Masks, Dungeon World, and Monsterhearts, among others.

The Gauntlet

Other folks may be able to recommend something specifically, but the Gauntlet may be a good place to start.

When you say the right way I assume you mean sticking to the rules 100%
Rather than interpretations of the right way to play ala Critical Role for example

One issue with PbtA is that each game is different, and the flavour of the game is changed for each one. There are several available for the Avatar Legends game out their now.

So far I've listened to the first 20 minutes of Gauntlet's Midnight Run session. I find it hard to watch other people play rpgs - more so when one participant slows everything down by supplying vague and uninspired answers to the questions. I'll continue tomorrow.

Yeah it can be tough. I don’t mind watching actual plays, but I tend to be looking for either entertainment or else clear presentation of play. So much depends on the players and GM and how they present the game.
