Live-Tweeting Your Game?

[el-remmen]

Does anyone use Twitter at their game sessions? Live-tweet the sessions? Tweet the highlights? The best quotes? Pics from the table? Whatever?

I have been doing this some for the last few months for the game I am playing with (don't have many followers), but was wondering if other people did it. . . I created an account just for my shared homebrew since multiple people run games in it at different times.

I'd love to have some have some other games to follow on Twitter and if anyone is interested in following mine, the handle is @Aquerra_d20

I'd be curious - I don't because I simply can't imagine anybody being even vaguely interested in my game. And tweeting it sounds like a poor man's story hour! Do you get many comments on the tweets?

 

[el-remmen]

Not yet. Like I said. I have few followers. . . but I don't go for a full narrative, but just for a highlights and a funny bits kind of thing

Like today when our DM shouted, "THE FOUR-ARMED GORILLA THING SPRINGS FORTH AND F-ING DESTROYS YOU!" and I quoted him.

or last sesion: "Turned another 21 HD of ju-ju zombies! #PRIESTPOWER #DND #IPoA #tombofthelizardking" (#IPoA is short for "In Pursuit of Adventure" which is our campaign name)

etc. .

Highlights could work. Certainly for my own game, I'm sure 99% of them would need to be suffixed with a sheepish "... you had to be there", context being king and all. But that's just me - I'd give it a short and see what happens! Worst case is nobody pays any attention; best case is you develop a cult following! There's nothing to lose!

So, yeah - go for it! I'll follow you!

#YHTBT (you had to be there)?

I've got someone on my feed who tweets occasionally during play, but I hardly ever look at Twitter anyway. Also, I'd find tweeting while gaming rather distracting- I don't call my friends in the middle of a game, either (at least, unless there is a good reason to do so!).

This thread topic never got much traction, but I figured I'd share links to two storified versions of live-tweeting of D&D sessions: Session #67 - The Captain's Challenge and Session #68 - The Captain's Challenge Continues


Let me know what you think and if you're on Twitter you can follow our games and other D&D-related stuff on @Aquerra_d20
