[QUOTE="Justice and Rule, post: 8201346, member: 6778210"] Yeah, CR just hit right in the middle of the ascension of "Let's Play" videos and has a level of craft, professionalism, and polish that most don't. It's the sort of on-going, evolving fiction that the internet is just built to consume. Given that their forays into other systems typically do great numbers, I definitely think they have given more to 5E than 5E has given back to them. I also wanted to say that I think while system and popular IPs can matter, the biggest driver of non-CR streaming shows is largely popularity outside of that realm: I feel like the big Let's Play RP shows that I am able to view come from previously-established content creators (a good example would be Jesse Cox, who runs a Star Wars game on his channel but is best known for his video game content) or the McElroys, who had a presence well before they started up [I]The Adventure Zone[/I].
