Seriously tho, I appreciate the info.

Sorry, I wasn’t thinking Actual Plays, I was thinking Vox Machina. But I’m not super familiar with the landscape. It’s my understanding that The Expanse is based on a campaign as well.

There’s a whole different discussion (beyond my expertise!) about media inspired by roleplaying games & play sessions.

You just happened to run into a historian of Actual Play (recorded TTRPG gameplay) the week I’m finishing up my timeline & history of the form for my book!

I was just rereading Perkins's old Dragon magazine articles and thought it was really funny in light of his hiring by CR.

Following, because I want to buy that book.

When is this quote from, do you know?

March 10, 2011 (“My Campaign: The TV Series”). Or possibly October 3 but I’m assuming American numbering.
