Getting started streaming
Streaming grows more common by the year. Publishers see its publicity value; every major Kickstarter campaign highlights an Actual Play session featuring its game. Hopeful actors and game designers alike view livestreams as an audition platform. And a March 2020 VentureBeat article, “How tabletop RPG actual play shows are inspiring a new generation of fans — and products,” shows how streaming gives creators one more way to develop direct relationships with their audience. Get started streaming with these helpful resources.- “How to Stream Your TTRPG Show” by Megan Tolentino of The Redacted Files (Medium, March 2020)
- You’ll need an OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) program to create your video, such as the free and open-source StreamLabs. Wikipedia lists programs in the category “software vision mixer.”
- To get all your players on camera, use a videoconferencing service such as Discord, Zoom, Skype, or Gmail Chat. Look for a service that lets each player record their own voice track individually, which can be helpful. The article above gives detailed instructions.
- Close-caption your games using a service like the free Web Captioner and these detailed webcaptioning instructions.
