Watching other people play pen and paper rpgs is what got me into it at first, namely itnejp's swan songThe ending was a huge disappointment and it could've ended at titanfall for a much better ending in my mind.Is there any other series in this style I could watch or something I can show as an example to get people into playing?
Also discuss itmejps rollplay stuff too if you like
Fun while it lasted but yeah, the ending fucked sucked: psychic mumbo jumbo and mystical bullshit in a show that was pretty grounded for the most part, and no main plots finished up satisfactorily. At least Mirrorshades embraced its weird soap-operaness and had a happy ending
I don't think swan song was that good desu...maybe people just like it so much because it's a shiny turd in a sea of not so shiny turds.

Was that supposed to be a final ending? I thought that was supposed to be like a "season closer" and then they're going to do the Swan Song Stories thing for a bit, before they come back with more of the main show. Did I just make that all up?
Show turned into a Adam/Steven wank by the end. Real shame too.

They tried that but among a slew of recent changes to the RollPlay lineup SS was put on indefinite hiatus (or maybe it was cancelled outright)

>Spending time with Adam is all of the higher level rewards
>Swan Song cancelled
>West Marches cancelled
>new shows don't have Jeff, Steven, Wheat, Dodger, Gen, Ryan, Maggie or Jessie
>GRRL power show
>Adam is in everything
>no stretch goal for making JP actually learn the rules and to make a serious character
I don't even like Adam. Steven is/was my favorite DM in this shitshow.

They need more DMs, Adam is a terrible DM and also a huge sjw. Honestly they needNeil

Neil got really autistic at points, but shit actually happened with him. Adam has a really grating personality and he just oozes SJW garbage into everything.

>They survive because amazing rolls
Adam doesn't endanger the party ever, they always win

They just announced a new show with a non-Adam GM.
