Is there a good VLP of Jade Empire that's finished? Looks like there's an SSLP but I can't see a video one. I doubt a random youtube one will be very good.discworld is all I read posted:We're all still here in spirit. I mean, I've been doing LP's here for almost 7 years now and it's weird to think about that sometimes. I like your LPs!

the reality of the situation is that SA is fantastic for cutting your teeth and learning what to do and not do, but ultimately one of two things happen: 1) you do not stick with the hobby 2) you do, and it slowly starts building a community around your work. SA is really, REALLY not the place to handle a growing community, so you are all but forced to abandon the place for tools that work better. i don't intend to ever STOP posting our stuff on SA, but the writing has been on the wall for a few years now that me and roboky will have to figure out our own site and platform - at which point, SA will be a second thought for us. the main reason it hasn't happened yet is because i'm so preoccupied with my business that after a long day of work i simply don't have the mental energy left to create a site design and go about implementing all the parts we'll need to do what we want to do.

Chip and Ironicus have a thread going right now and they just finished another one. LPing is a lot easier when it's you hanging out in a dorm with a couple microphones, when you have lives and jobs it gets harder.

Coolguye posted:1) you do not stick with the hobby I assume 2 includes the opportunity for monetization. Since SA deliberately ignores the money-making part, I imagine it might make things awkward for those who strike out to try and make some cash off their hobby. But that's me guessing when most of this went down before I arrived. I know there was one incident where a bunch of LPers left at once, as well, but I've been giving the benefit of the doubt and assuming that boiled down to a misunderstanding.

ApeHawk posted:Many A True Nerd is currently doing a slightly modded LP of Skyrim. Updates it twice a week, too. He's also doing a non-archery run, so you don't have to suffer through a boring sneaky archer playthrough. Is MAT a user on SA? Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me. Also, anyone know if there is a good LP of Dungeons and Dragons 4e that can help me get the ropes of running it long term?

There's no decision-making in most of the SSLPs I've seen off-site. It'll be something like: Post 1 What the front looks like at the moment  Post 2 Russian units storm the bridge  Post 3 An attack on the western side goes well  and so on

Yeah, there are all sorts of places where SSLPs can be found. Technically, Tom Francis (Gunpoint/Heat Signature dev) did a couple for PC Gamer. His Galactic Civilisations 2 one is a pretty fun read.

Greyarc posted:I assume 2 includes the opportunity for monetization. Since SA deliberately ignores the money-making part, I imagine it might make things awkward for those who strike out to try and make some cash off their hobby. It doesn’t need to, directly. What I am more referring to is the paywall inevitably boils your community back to haves and have nots - the folks who have an SA account get more access and responsiveness than the folks who don’t. This isn’t news nor is it going to change any time soon, but it’s actually a huge part of my own thinking on the matter and people don’t bring it up that much. I mean, ultimately sure if you stick with LPing more than a year or two money is going to become part of your thought process, sure. But the “genuine” way for people to make money on their personalities is to talk to people and explain who they are and what they’re out to do before asking for a dollar to go do it. You can’t do that very well when people have to drop a tenner to say word one to you simply. We have a discord and email but both of those are pretty high friction compared to just posting. Lazyfire posted:SA is also great if you intend to have a lot of direct interaction with the people watching. The thing I'm planning after my current LP will rely on that quite a bit. Thank you! Hope you’ll like the new project, should be going up this next week.

Risk Legacy looks pretty cool, but I have no one to play with, don't know how to play, and I'm not really willing to put in the apparently massive amounts of time to go through several games of it. Is there an LP out there I can go through, preferably video and preferably condensed?

Speaking of SSLPs, I'm not recommending this hybrid LP just because it's done by my good friend Maple Leaf, but because Pyre is a great game and Maple is going through a great effort to screenshot each character's interaction, Gyf particularly beautiful animation moments, and play a mean game of Pyreball while leaving up a ton of the game's Choose Your Own Adventure elements entirely in our hands. All this while he plays with what characters we ask him to field in the arena! I've heard noises about at least one other LP of this game in the works because the game itself has so much variety of endings and potential dialogue interactions, but the run Maple is giving us is likely going to be the "true" run that goons get to dictate.

Habeasdorkus did an amazing LP of Football Manager a few years ago where he took a small Welsh team and turned them into world-class titans, weaving a pretty compelling story and narrative with the characters and events the game put on him. He's just started a new one playing as plucky San Marino Calcio, another low-rank team so distant in Italian soccer that it's not actually in Italy, it's in San Marino. It's early days, but y'all are in for a treat. Viva Titani.

I've started watching the old Saints Row 2 LP with Panzerskank and Kaubocks - loved the part when their comparing new characters and Panzer says this: "I look like a grape had sex with the Koolaid Man!" "And you're Character's pretty ugly too!" "FUUUUCK YOU!  "

I like to play Saints Row with a normal-looking character trying to do normal GTA game stuff because I think that makes it even funnier when everything around you turns into crazy nonsense, but the shenanigans we see in the LP are still entertaining and all the glitches just enhance the whole experience.
