How About YouTube Videos of Play-Testing?

We could watch players as they are learning the mechanics of the 5th edition game. This might also interest people who have no idea what a tabletop gaming experience could be like.

We could film all the funny comments, the expert acting, people stuffing their faces with junk-food, rolling funny dice, making math mistakes.

As we see them arguing with the GM and compromising, it might give us ideas and want to comment with our own opinions about their game.

The designers are looking for comments right? Film the play-tests and put them on YouTube.

I recommend asking your gaming group first...

I can't imagine there would be an NDA on something that will supposedly be publicly available.

Officially word is that videocasting and podcasting games won't be allowed, at least initially.

I don't know. I can't think of many things less interesting or attention holding to me than watching strangers play a semi-unfamiliar rpg on youtube. But then, I don't get the appeal of the 'unboxing' videos either.
