[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9319150, member: 6796661"] I don't think the analogy is misplaced. Not all popular live plays are as heavily produced as Critical Role. Beside, taking Critical Role as one example, it very much like a home game. And if using different voices for your characters isn't part of your game, not all live games run like this. Acquisitions Incorporated drew huge crowds without professional voice actors. I don't understand why some people struggle with the fact that a TTRPG could draw spectators. People watch sports, watch people playing video games, watch cooking shows, watch home remodeling, watch fishing shows, and all manner of activities. Sometimes because it is something they can't do, but often because they DO engage in a specific activity, it makes it more interesting to watch others do it. Those who really excel at an activity, either because of incredible skill or because they find ways to make it entertaining (e.g., professional production, captivating personalities, humor), and usually a mixture of both, are able to become professionals and make a living doing it. Live play TTRPG shows are no different than many other activities people watch other people do. [/QUOTE]
