To kind of address your points:If you don't like streamers, by all means, don't watch them. I think that most of the people who don't like streamers haven't really watched them. I suppose that makes sense because why would you? But then you also aren't in a place to comment about what they have to say.And for the second one, that makes me really sad. I think there are a number of things you can learn about running a session from a good streamer that will improve your session objectively. I think it's likely that most people who don't like these styles haven't had much experience with them. I'd say Matt/Deborah's sessions are strong because:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">As GMs, they have tons of energy and run the game with enthusiasm and gusto.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">They try to pace the sessions to keep things moving and interesting and build a session into something big.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">They work collaboratively with the players to describe what happens.</li> </ul>I'm sure there are more reasons, but that's off the top of my head. Maybe you can run a great game doing none of those things, but I don't remember great sessions where they haven't played a part.</blockquote>
