SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Am I the only one who doesn't get the sudden rise in Twitch/YouTube Actual Plays?

I've watched some and have enjoyed some of them.  Like Estar said, some you can just have going on in the background.  Whatever, I'm a nerd.  Sometimes it's cool to see how other people play.  Sometimes they are good to see how a certain game is played (not all in book examples are great).  Sometimes it's just fun to watch other people having fun.

S'mon

Quote from: AsenRG;976469That's only if we presume that RPGs are just as naturally interesting to people as sex is to virgin teenagers;).

Heck, I remember being 12 years old, eagerly awaiting my birthday/Christmas Spectrum 48K, buying & reading huge piles of computing magazines (with the BASIC programs to type in yourself)... Once that Spectrum 48K actually arrived, I don't think I ever bought another computing mag... I was too busy playing ELITE. :cool:

While I don't find much enjoyment watching a group RPGing it up, I can understand why some others might enjoy it. I don't find much, if any, enjoyment watching a billiards tournament on TV, nor do I like watching tennis or golf. But I  do like watching some poker games or football on TV. I've also found it helpful watching play throughs of new board games to make sure I had a good grasp on the mechanics and rules.
