[QUOTE="MaskedGuy, post: 7729493, member: 6916225"] In my case? Was into CRPGs and always found RPGs exciting and were for years interested in group storytelling and actual freedom of what to do before I got chance to try out. But yeah, seriously, lot of people here are making me feel young :P Which is often the case in this hobby since average age seems to be somewhere between 30-40 on online at least. Seriously, lot of "I don't get kids these days" speeches here, I kind of thought nobody does those unironically anymore in gaming hobbies <_< I would like to point out that regarding video games, if you watch a let's player its not for the game its for the player. If you wanted to watch video for the game, you'd just watch walkthroughs instead, with let's plays you want to see how the player plays the game or entertains their audience while doing it. Regarding P&P streams instead, its mostly because watching people roleplay well is fun since its sort of like watching improv. Its weird question anyway, I mean you wouldn't ask "Why are you watching hockey instead of playing it?", right? Its just not the same thing, otherwise there wouldn't be many older folk here who were like "I tried watching but got bored". And sure watching stuff isn't for everyone(especially since P&P sessions always take hours so streams do too), but its great gateway for new folk who have stereotypical ideas about what it is like or are curious but too timid to find themselves a group. But yeah, out of curiosity, has anyone tried out watching TFS at the Table? Lot of people have checked out Critical Role, but I am curious if anyone watches the less mainstream(well, by geek standards I guess, voice actors aren't much of mainstream, but they are compared to Internet folk xD) streams?
