Streaming on Twitch - What Do You Want? (Patreon)

As I announced a few days ago, I've been doing seminars for Virtual Gamehole Con 2020. I've also been streaming these events on Twitch.

You can find my account here: https://www.twitch.tv/thealexandrian

You can find recorded videos there of most of the seminars (the first one didn't record due to a technical glitch). You can also tune in live tomorrow (Sunday) @ 10 AM CST for the Don't Prep Plots seminar.

I've been slowly building towards streaming and video production for awhile now. Doing these seminars prompted me to finish getting my software and account set up for Twitch.

Time to peek into the sausage factory a bit: What I hadn't anticipated was that the seminars would give me a huge boost towards becoming a Twitch Affiliate. Affiliates get the ability to monetize their accounts, but also unlock a bunch of features that give more control over our accounts (like uploading videos). To become an Affiliate I need to have 50 followers and, over 30 days, stream for 8 hours, stream on 7 different days, and have an average of 3 viewers over those hours.

I'm currently standing at 49 followers, 4 hours streaming, 3 days streaming, and 20+ average viewers. (Which would be even higher if not for a technical test stream I ran before the first seminar to make sure the account was actually working.)

Long story short: After doing my fourth Gamehole Con stream tomorrow, I should really do at least 3 more streams in the next 2-3 weeks and lock down Affiliate status.

So here's my question: I know some of you aren't going to be interested in streaming at all, and that's cool. (The Alexandrian's existing content isn't going anywhere.) But for those of you who ARE interested in streaming content, what would you be interested in seeing?

I thought about tossing out some ideas here, but I think I'll leave it a blank slate for right now. Really see what you're thinking.

If your players are okay with it, some examples of actual play that illustrate your principles. Some are pretty clear (Matryoshka search technique, for example) but others are tougher to picture (hexcrawl exploration, encounters).

Also, I enjoyed getting a glimpse into your opinion of several different modules in https://thealexandrian.net/wordpress/5774/roleplaying-games/strip-mining-adventure-modules, and I've been meaning to ask you in your Patreon Hangouts what other modules are Tier 1 or Tier 2 for you. Maybe you could stream some "reviews" about modules you think are in those categories, and what makes them work so well. Maybe you could pitch it as a dive into why some of your favorite adventures work, or focus on content you feel is underappreciated. In any case, when you make those kinds of suggestions (like The Dark of Hot Springs Island or your capsule reviews for supplemental Descent Into Avernus material) I find it very helpful.

... just joined Twitch. Now you have your 50 followers!

I second that, module reviews might be interesting, picking them apart like clockwork also sound great.

Not sure if this is a remotely good idea, just spitballing really. It could be interesting for followers to submit to you an upcoming session they have to prep or a session in the future they're unsure/curious/nervous about and give you a basic idea of the salient details and you prep it as though you were going to run it. Of course, this would be rife with all sorts of considerations but just an idea. There is a Total War youtube channel where the owner has players send their save files of campaigns that have gone awry and he tries and rescues them. This is inspired by that kind of idea. Anyway, sure the content you put out will be fascinating regardless!

Just throwing some ideas out really; - How you prep for a session - Creating a one-shot using your design theory (node based design, three clue rule, don't prep plots etc.) - Behind the scenes on your Campaign Status Documents

I think like others have said, seeing you put some of the theories and prep techniques you've shared in practice would be awesome. Seeing how you apply node design, the three clue rule, and the general philosophy of "don't prep plots" would be very helpful imo. Seeing how you come up and develop a one shot could be neat too, like going from initial idea to something playable for a home game. And an actual play of you running a game could be a nice stream too.

Like others, I would really like to see how the theory would be applied in practice. I've had enormous fun reading the blog posts and see a lot of potential, but I've been struggling trying to put it to good use myself, which is a recurring issue for me. I feel video, even recorded and edited, would allow us to see it in action rather than just read about it in hindsight. When it comes to what to show? I really love all the techniques, from the Three Clue Rule to the Node-Based Approach, from Smart Prep to Campaign Status Documents.

I, like many others probably, have run your Dragon Heist Remix. Maybe a show looking back on the Remix and your thoughts on it now, as well as answering comments and questions from the audience could be fun.

Adding my voice the chorus of people interested in seeing examples of theory in practice. I’d be particularly interested in hexcrawl related stuff, both because my party is currently in Helturel right now - soon to descend, and because after this campaign I want to take a crack at an open table hexcrawl.

I would almost certainly be unable to see the stream but follow it on another time. Going through your favorite and disliked modules, theory design in practice would sit on top of the list. Open game tables, urbancrawls, hexcrawls, node design, you name it. Module reviews would also follow second. But the most important for me is for you to keep up the quality work you do right now. I have seen a lot of streamers getting crushed by the followers expectations or a big drop on quality because of the "need" to keep producing fresh content. Last but not least I much prefer written media that you can consume at your own pace, and digest much easier.
