[QUOTE="Burnside, post: 8272725, member: 6910340"] There's something about Colville's cadence/delivery/energy level that I just can't quite get past. Have never been able to more than a minute or two into of one of his vids. Many people find him very helpful though. I enjoy Dungeon Dudes (the commentary/analysis videos - their actual play is above average but I still couldn't stick with it). As a reviewer, I think Eric Watson (RogueWatson) is excellent. Actual play in general is very, very hard to do watchably. Many folks seem to think you can just record your group playing totally unedited, but unless you are Critical Role this doesn't really work for me. TBH even Critical Role has its issues, but they have set a high bar. Dice, Camera, Action, had a strong following and I watched 20 or so episodes in prep for running Curse of Strahd. It was very helpful in seeing how Perkins ran the adventure, and how remarkably patient he is with his players, but I wouldn't say it was actually an enjoyable experience as a piece of entertainment and I finally had to tap out. Playing D&D and performing/playing for an audience are quite different. I did enjoy the first season of The Adventure Zone podcast, and some of Relics and Rarities was quite good. But those are both edited to improve the experience for the audience. There have been isolated games during WotC's big streaming events that were fun (not the Rime of the Frostmaiden one; those were all dreadful despite the big name talent - to be fair technical difficulties were the biggest problem). I'm part of an actual play podcast of Baldur's Gate: Descent Into Avernus that launched last year. The players and DM are all actors/writers/directors with years of experience, but even so I think our show would be unlistenable without post-production editing. [/QUOTE]
