What's the draw of watching/following streamers?

I've watched some here and there, but having to try to catch them when they stream has put me too much in the mind of old tv and catching shows when they air. Watching the recording afterward is maybe good for some white noise, but it's clearly not the intended experience I think.

You’ve perhaps compared the wrong niche though. Game streamers are the Harlem Globetrotters; you’re not there to watch excellent gaming, but entertaining gaming.
Whereas esports are the equivalent to competitive sports.

That said; I too struggle to care about watching either. Even my old boss Limmy, no care for watching him stream.

Did you ever experience TPK?

What is the story behind?

Jaccident ,

One member of the group had decided to leave, so wanted a valiant sacrifice for his character, none of the rest of us would leave him behind though, so we almost got TPKd before the DM admitted there was literally no way to win the encounter.

From the outside world perspective I just need to point out how totally ridiculous the pairing of the job title “Resource Officer” is with “gun”.

I hope FactCheck UK follow up with a video on Woking and Thurrock…

Looking for some advice on OP players

Not really sure what to do about this situation. I have a group that meets monthly. We do a lot of roleplay, but a few of my players are very into being OP at combat. They want to build their characters the strongest and the best. So I alternatively get requests to both break rules and strictly apply rules so they'll get...

Nothing to add here but you’ve had a bunch of great answers; thanks to all the respondents and to OP for being super candid. This thread was a great read!

Playing neurodivergent NPCs

Having diverse worlds and representing different types of people is a good thing. For something like skin colour, sexuality or gender it's very easy to just say that your character posseses those qualities because it doesn't necessarily change much about them. However, how do people feel about playing NPCs who are...

Jaccident ,

I think you’ve got some wonderful answers here already so I just want to add something that a few points brought to mind.

In my opinion one can authentically play a trait without playing a diagnosis. A great example of this is Drax in the MCU. He isn’t “the autistic one” he’s the guy with hyper literal interpretation. That autistic (amongst other classes) people relate that and feel seen isn’t because he’s “being autistic” but because he sees things like them; the other characters regard that and it somewhat authentically shows the outcomes one such person might have in these wild tales.

You can represent elements of neurodivergence without going all in on an ND character that might only serve to entrench stigma.

This photo was taken years and years ago, look how young Neil Gaiman is in it.

Becky from an accounting is a vegan and you insisted on roasting a boar next to her desk. When she asked you to move you just shouted about already having cast Tiny Hut and that you “weren’t going to break camp now!”

Did they, or has he taken Rustic Hospitality?

She's maintined the whole time that she'll follow whatever rules are in place, including running as a man when the organisation requires it. Of course transphobes are using that as "proof" that she's a man.

Man alive, just let the poor woman run. If she’s willing to let you misgender her so she can run then she’s literally doing everything you’re asking her to. Fuck off and let her do her thing!
