Message: <blockquote data-quote="JConstantine" data-source="post: 9665748" data-attributes="member: 7052620">I looked into the views for the various CR content a while ago, and there are some conclusions that can drawn based on them, as well as speculation.The main campaign gets the most views by far, naturally. The one-shots all get pretty lacklustre numbers in comparison, including the D&D battle royales. The mini series are unsurprisingly in the middle, however, Exandria Unlimited had far higher numbers than Candela Obscura and Undeadwood (before it understandably got purged). The question is whether that's due to using D&D or being tied to the campaign world.I've long thought that they should test that by putting out two different mini series: one  set in Exandria using Daggerheart, and another using D&D in a different setting (say Eberron, since Matt clearly draws inspiration from it). If the hypothetical Daggerheart one got comparable numbers to ExU while the hypothetical D&D didn't, that would suggest the draw is Exandria, but the reverse would suggest D&D is the draw. I guess we'll get part way to knowing once Age of Umbra airs.While I'm sure there's an element of that at play, I don't think it's the whole story. There are viewers - like myself - who want the combination of entertaining players and a system they enjoy/are familiar with. I play a variety of RPGs, not just D&D, and I've watched other actual play shows of those - the aforementioned Undeadwood; Haunted City for BitD; LAbN and NYbN for V:TM (and currently watching Private Nightmares). Meanwhile, CR and Relics & Rarities are the only D&D shows I've cared to watched, so it's not like I'm a D&D or nothing sort of person, but I have no interest in Daggerheart as a system after trying the playtest, and a lack of interest in a system used kills any interest I might have in an actual play. I doubt I'm the only CR viewer like that.</blockquote>
