In response to your question about Actual Plays, I absolutely detest stuff like Critical Role. If I start listening to an actual play and people start saying they're actors or improv whatevers in real life, I immediately delete it. I'm completely uninterested in those kinds of shows. I want normal people that are engaged and not too slow to act or respond to a situation. One of my favorite APs recently are the Torchbearer 2E playtests with Luke Crane. Everyone is a normal person and the game is run by one of the writers of the system. They're not actors, but they play their characters well and I feel like I'm there with them, learning and playing the system. Your suggestion of the Band of Brothers AP and its qualities got me interested in listening to it because it sounds a lot like the Torchbearer AP I'm listening to. If you come across any other good APs (my preference would be OSR-related), please let us know! Thanks for the newsletter and all your hard work!
Hello Jason! I'm going to check out that Torchbearer series ASAP. Thanks for the recommendation!
I realise I don't know a single OSR style AP or at least one that I would recommend. I'd love an Electric Bastionland AP or something along those lines.
That actually already exists. The author runs it for a couple osr luminaries. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet tho, but here's the link: https://youtu.be/I7K0nagIRIQ

Oh nice! Too bad it's just one episode though.
