I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I love TTRPG. Watching/listening to others play them, playing them myself, and AHH. I started playing D&D back in 2018 or 2019, I believe. It was with a group of my online friends so I've mostly only ever played online using virtual tabletops and virtual tools. I do have real dice thoug because nothing beats rolling real dice and then getting mad at said real dice and tossing them into a dice jail. You just can't do that with digital dice. I've branched out some and played a little in person with my husband, our kids, and some friends but consisently I play online via discord and foundry. I love collabroative storytelling so much. Co-writing with friends, text based RPG, TTRPGs. Nothing beats creating a world and stories with others. It takes some of the pressure off your shoulders, and it is just fun to have to think on your feet and figure out just what your character would do when another character does something unexpected. I think too from a fiction writing standpoint, TTRPGs is a great way to learn how to develop characters because you spend so much time inside of one character's head, you kind of figure out how to develope characters in writing too, at least that is my experience. Okay, okay, okay. Do you have a favorite Actual Play show you like? Obviously, I love myself Critical Role. Dimension 20 is fabulous too. Last year I fell in love with Two Monsters Rolling Dice, they play Fatecore and the story they told had Western vibes and dinosaurs and I'm waiting for them to come off hiatus. I've streamed with my friends a few times too for charity events, and that is always fun playing with an audience even if it is an audience of like two or five. I'll shut up now but I'm SO EXCITED TO HEAR MORE ABOUT YOUR RESEARCH AND WATCH THESE VIDEOS! Sorry for the all caps. :B
Ahh!! Thanks so much for this! I love hearing it, and really feeling your excitement! When writing my fiction, I've always thought of occasionally throwing a die to determine what would happen to make it feel more improvised than formally set out. But I'm too much of a direct planner for that. I started with listening to D&D is for Nerds, which I fall in and out of. And then I was super into Campaign, which became Campaign Skyjacks. I've thought about trying out Adventure Zone as well. I always like when people play things other than D&D because I like to see (or rather hear) all the other games and systems that exist. I'll try out Two Monsters, which sounds fun.
@@VivianAsimos I have rolled the dice for my fiction stories. I also created character sheets for characters lol. And one of my shelved projects is about adults in their 30s who play TTRPGs. So. I of course had to make their character's character sheets.
Looking forward to see how this turns out!
