[QUOTE="Tun Kai Poh, post: 7847536, member: 6761960"] Actual Plays don't work for everyone - and Critical Role is, honestly, not the easiest to get into, plus their streams are so DAMN LONG. I'm able to follow along and enjoy. But. I like podcast Actual Plays for one major reason. For the past few years, I've worked a day job 8-5, plus commute, and I help to care for a disabled person most of the rest of the time. My gaming group has broken up and drifted apart and while I try to keep connected to my gaming community, it's not easy to schedule regular sessions anymore. If I manage to snag a gaming date it's usually somewhere very near where we live so that I can drive home in case of emergencies. It's been really tough. Listening to other people playing, during my commute to work and back, is what gives me life. Without that reminder of how awesome RPGs are I don't think I could survive. I have sometimes wept listening to these games, reminding me how great roleplaying was. I recommend Asians Represent (their D&D series starts here): [URL="http://oneshotpodcast.com/asians-represent/dungeons-da-asians-1-the-stone-of-heaven/"]Dungeons & Da Asians #1: The Stone of Heaven[/URL] The Magpies (Blades in the Dark), about daring women doing heists: [URL="https://magpiespodcast.net/"]The Magpies Podcast – A Blades in the Dark Actual Play Podcast[/URL] Party of One (various systems) where the table is always set for two (and the sessions are shorter and paced just right for my commute): [URL="https://www.partyofonepodcast.com/"]Home - Party Of One[/URL] You Don't Meet in an Inn (various systems) with some amazing table chemistry among the players: [URL="https://youdontmeetinaninn.libsyn.com/"]You Don't Meet In An Inn[/URL] [/QUOTE]
