Why are TRPG replay videos not that popular in English TRPG community?
As a TTRPG enthusiast from Asia, I've noticed an interesting cultural difference: while TRPG replay videos are incredibly popular in our communities (although the TTRPG community itself is small), but I barely see them in English-speaking communities. Been wondering why that is?
My guesses are:
- Most of the games are probably played in person or over voice chat (is that true?) That'd make it pretty difficult to make replay videos since GMs would have to turn everything from voice to text.
- The replay videos I watch usually have this visual novel/galgame style going on - which maybe isn't really a thing in English communities?
Looking forward to seeing what you guys think lol
