Sure. He seems like he'd be ok as a GM.

>>
>>46442640
Yes, but only once and just to see what it would actually be like.
>>
>>46442640
No

He's the pioneer of the hipster tabletop/ gamergurl/ flannels + beer /indie nerd crowd. He would probably run Dungeon World or some shit and it would suck because every other person at the table would have dyed hair, tattoos and an uninterested girlfriend.

Wheaton has his own perverse manifest destiny in which pen and paper RPG has become trendy and mainstream, and he is renowned as a celebrity by more than just the lards at PAX.
>>
>>46443172
>a name tells you how someone would GM
>>
I feel indifferent to him as a person, bordering on slightly annoyed because he's one of the faces of "nerd culture". BUT he has acting experience, so that makes him a better GM than most GMs. Acting is more important in modern role-playing games than rules knowledge or history knowledge.
>>
>>46442640
Possible, but unlikely. If Matt Mercer were offering to run something, however, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

making the answer "no"
>>
>>46442640

Sure. I've played with some horrible GMs, and from what I've seen, he's fine by me.

Might not necessarily be my dream GM, but to be honest, I'd rather have a GM that puts effort into their game being fun, as opposed to a lot of the shit GMs I've encountered over the years.

Guess I also don't feel the need to try and sound cool by shoveling hate onto him. People act like they haven't done far worse, and he's saintly compared to the cancerous drama queen GMs and players I've sometimes had to deal with.


>>46444025

I'd rather that PnP be trendy and mainstream than have to deal with smarmy elitists who treat new casual players like shit and think that the elitists somehow aren't the worst thing for the gaming industry.

It's fine to take issue with certain changes to the game you love, but it's pathetic to actively try to shit on growing the hobby simply because you want to remain special.

I'd just be happy if far more people got into PnP.

Will Wheaton had a Q&A or whatever before his next season of Tabletop, and explained that the reason why there was so many mess ups in the rules for some of the games he would play would be partly because the producers did not give him the correct info for a crash course game beforehand.

I imagine Keanu to be the player who runs some sort of zen caster or fighter with the shitty background of "I woke up from a sleep, and I don't know anything"

I don't know. I find the hipsters and casual nerds and the like to be much more of the 'smarmy elitist' brand.

They think they look better, live better, eat better, and are better than the fa/tg/uys hanging out in the LGS playing Battletech. That's what I don't like. I don't have an issue with new players in general.

Most of those are just people mouthing off. I bet very few of them actually step up and be confrontational IRL.

If anything it gets worse. I kinda liked the beginning, even if I'm not crazy about the silly moments, but in the end I couldn't bear watching.
