Curse of Strahd particularly.Setting up the drama was interesting to watch and how he envisioned scenes playing out, which was very different to how I read it in print.But most fascinating was where he departed from the text to add in new elements some of which I incorporated in my own running of the campaign.It’s not often you get to see a creative playing their own work. That’s pretty cool. Getting to see some of the Cubicle 7 team play WFRP was just as interesting.Im not a Critical Role fan... though I know people who are, but that’s a personality fit. What I will say, is there are lots of different types of d&d streaming catering to lots of different tastes.NB./ I should also say this is where I learnt the most useful technique I’ve picked up as a DM of pre-published modules... If PCs aren’t going where you expected and are going to miss a cool set piece that you like and spent a lot of time on don’t force the PCs into it. Instead, pick it up and repurpose it for somewhere else. Chris does this a couple of times as far as I can see and it works seamlessly as a watcher. I’ve used it a few times in published modules now and it’s worked a treat.</blockquote>
