I
really like the Old School Adventures and also the Burning Wheel
campain organised and streamed by Roll20, but the reminder of the week
the channel remains unused. I'm not saying that they need to stream more
games as that would bring its own problems with it but in the time the
channel isnt live there is still a way for it to promote Roll20.
There are other channels that regulary stream TTRPGs and use Roll20 to network its players.
twitch.tv/ericVulgaris , twitch.tv/misscliks , twitch.tv/itmeJP and
twitch.tv/encounterRoleplay are just a few that spring to mind.
Some of these channels have more regular viewers then the Roll20 shows, OSA for example has
about 300 to 400, but there are also far more channels out there that have less,
also to concider is that most other channels (I know of) that regulary
stream TTRPGs stream to other times then the Roll20 shows and so would
not impede on their viewerbase.
By hosting these other channels on twitch on a regular basis Roll20 would
create a more centralised community that could come to roll20app to
watch different RPG shows together, also would it promote other channels
which in return could promote Roll20(thanks for the host etc). I'm sure
that with time the viewer base on roll20app would increase.
An other suggestion I would like to make is that in the viewer base
for both Roll20 shows there are people that regulary stream their own
RPG games, I'm sure that under these there are some that would like to
take the place or timeslot of one of the Shows if it got canceled to run
their own campains/oneshots. These people could stream them on their
own channels and Roll20app could host their channels for the time, this
way the time slot would still be filled, people could watch a fun show,
even if they came for another and have a great time with the community
in chat.
Some people even suggested this approach the last time Burning Wheel
show got canceled and EricVulgaris commented that he hoped to at one
point offer his show "Once Upon a Game" as a filler for the canceled
show.
I hope that these suggestions appeal to the people at Roll20 and the
community at large and that with them they community can grow.
