It's a far better use of my time and can happen when I want or have a spare 15 minutes.  I get far more variety of input, viewpoints and information than I would get from dozens or even hundreds of hours of play.  Instead of buying the rules for and spending the time playing Daggerheart, I can watch a video on how to play and an actual play stream while I exercise. I may even do that sometime this winter. If it sounds really cool and something I'll enjoy more than D&D or just want a break from D&D or I thought it might be okay and had multiple players asking about it?  Then I'll consider it.  I won't play the game because I think I could glean anything more than watching those videos, I'd do it because I thought it would be more rewarding than playing D&D for a while.</blockquote>
