D&D Movie/TV Which AP show will be the first one to be on a streaming service? And how soon?

CR's fandom is already full of "normies", many people consume it as a podcast

Not Netflix numbers of “normies” (god I hate that word!)

I was being "cute" using "normies" but my point is that a very well edited, hour long CR would absolutely undoubtedly increase its penetration into the broader popular culture -- particularly if it emphasized the comedic and dramatic interplay between the participants. I don't even consider this a question. It seems obvious on its face.

Yes, it’s what I said.

Wasn't there an actual play on DC's streaming service? Am I remembering that correctly?

 

[Zardnaar]

I might say Amazon.

Why. Mr Beast did his beast games thing. Wasn't very good think lots watched it though.

But they also streamed Ryan Trahans series as well. Think they just edited his YouTube series.

Its a short step to edit YouTube footage into a longer format. Amazon's already doing it.

So there's my pick and why.

 

[Zardnaar]

Amazon thing I think its this one.


Vastly less annoying than Mr Beast.

If its not that its his Europe one.

Always A Sword was released on Prime Video years ago
It featured Deborah Ann Wohl, Todd Staschwick and others.

So this show was 8 episodes direct to Prime with experienced AP performers, but not a previous cast.
It was also highly edited for the 8 episode campaign having a run time of barely under 6 hours.

I hadn't heard about Always A Sword, but it seems to not be available on Prime Video here in Ireland, I might do a broader search later.

As some of ye already mentioned, if they manage to do a tight edit to keep episodes under 1h, it might actually work. And I like to believe that it is actually possible, and it has been done before in audio-format. Brennan Lee Mulligan's Worlds Beyond Number episodes average around 2h, but I think he has a good grip on pacing and scene control and could manage to keep it around 1h. But there's also The Re-Slayer's Take, which has all points mentioned so far, great inter-party RP, mainly comedy but a good measure of drama and all episodes are under 1h.

As for the argument of "it would have happened already" even though I believe it's possible, entertainment history has shown that recycled and re-packaged ideas are a real thing, that can result in successful products. Well, I guess it's all wishful thinking anyway.
