Unedited actual play is definitely an acquired taste, and probably not a great introduction to RPGs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-27167440074256261622016-08-09T19:45:28.071-04:002016-08-09T19:45:28.071-04:00It's worth getting to the Jon Peterson comment...It's worth getting to the Jon Peterson comments near the end.

It sounds like a script to me. And like a book or a movie or a play, they don't need to be reduced down from a larger acted-out reality. It just sounds like a script written by someone knowledgeable about how the game actually plays.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-41271599908366085902016-08-09T15:30:09.962-04:002016-08-09T15:30:09.962-04:00I couldn't even get all the way through that t...I couldn't even get all the way through that tape.

It's clear that the script is taken from an actual play session (only a player could think of trying to tame a stirge) and I attributed some of the more railroady parts as 'fixed in post'. The 40 minutes of script probably needed four hours of table time to produce. After all, it wouldn't be a game session without a ten minute diversion into the Iranian Hostage Crisis, a twenty minute strategy discussion about whether to kill that last stirge or keep it as a pet, and a five minute time out to grab all the papers, minis, and map sheet and a rag to deal with Kevin spilling his soda. Again.<br /><br />You can't stick that in a radio show, even though that would be a far more realistic portrayal of my average D&D session.Warren Aboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671897478928823164noreply@blogger.com
