If I was a traditional entertainment company, I'd definitely want a piece of this, whether it's investing in an existing actual play or creating a new one from scratch.

Amazon definitely agrees with you.

Amazon definitely agrees with you.

HBO is too busy setting itself on fire, but I can definitely see Netflix and other entertainment companies that want inexpensive, non-union entertainment franchises sniffing around the actual play space.

Mind-blowing. I'm trying to imagine this from the perspective of my 13 year old self.

I love that D&D and nerd culture are this accepted.

How does that work? I was assuming it was going to be a standalone channel, but Freevee already is one. Is it just going to show up as content beside all of the other C-tier stuff on Freevee?

Note: CR is popular in large part due to the talent of the players, who are all professional, union actors.

There's already dozens of competitors out there. Not sure the market will support them all.

Yes, most FAST have many channels on the platform.
The sub channels, like Adventure Party , can be available on multiple platforms
