D&D General D&D Podcasts that are edited like a story instead of a game?

[Umbran]

Sure, it's just that if a game is involved, I'd like it's influence in the pod. Otherwise, it might as well be an audiobook.

You get to like what you like, of course.
But what's wrong with being an audiobook?

Nothing. But audiobooks and gaming podcasts and videos are different things. Why associate your story podcast with a game if you remove all the game elements?

Generally, because you want your story to be a bit more improv as opposed to set in stone, and you're using the game system as a framework to support more structured improv.

Because:
1) authored fiction is different from collaboratively emergent fiction.
2) the framework to support creating the emergent fiction may be important to you, but to them, the emergent narrative may be primary.
3) attaching to an existing property is often effective in marketing.

Well, I can at least respect the non-marketing answers.

Yeah, well, by all means, do your own creative venture while ignoring marketing concerns, and see how far you get with it.

Sorry. I hate marketing. Too based on manipulation and deception.

It doesn't have to be. Kelsey Dionne is often remarked on as having done a great job marketing Shadowdark, and that a big part of that, as with other Youtubers who've had enormous crowdfunding successes, is that she built an audience with hard work and good products for 5e.

It doesn't have to be, but it very, very often is.

I was really excited for Sitcom D&D, where a bunch of improvisers follow 5e rules in a classic sitcom setting ... until about three minutes into the first episode, where they announced they'd be editing out all the dice rolls and gamey stuff. If you're not wedded to a classic D&D fantasy-ish setting, then my loss might be your gain?
