Reading through people's D&D Campaigns

[PapaPetro]

I came across a treasure trove of a groups old Planescape campaign (maps, notes, chat logs, etc.) and just fell into their game.

Outside say Critical Roll, any other campaign materials out there as meticulously catalogued?
Something liminal about simulating other players/DMs' experiences.

Any genuinely good campaign is entertaining and read worthy.
CR is scripted, change my mind.

I'll cut you straight Saint, I never read or watched Critical Roll. I just know about it through osmosis.
Though I wouldn't be surprised if it were scripted, they are actor.

Japanese used to sell that kinda stuff commercially like 30-40 years ago. Never read any of it, so no clue.

That's awesome, didn't know that existed!
I love this type of second-hand narrative style of overviewing an adventure/campaign story peppered with stats, rolls and dialogue snippets.
Don't know what you'd call it though.

This is brilliant. This could be reproduced a lot easier nowadays digitally with recorded sessions. If there was some kind of app that did record keeping and could add notes and big/funny events in the campaign.

WTF, D&D? used to do comedic reviews of RPG books and play-throughs of adventures. They eventually did a huge multi-part Call of Cthulhu 1990's adventure with Kurt Cobain, Easy-E and a girl from TLC ("don't go chasing waterfalls...") as characters.

They started here...

I think I remember those, where they would go through old books and do back and forth commentary on the pages. When did they stop doing that on Something Awful? I would check em out from time to time; I liked when they'd do the ones on the weird looking monster manual art and the super sexed up deities.

Yeah, that's it, it's a real blast from the blast. 10 years is a long time on the internet. It seems they stopped posting on SA in 2014. They didn't give any indication (that I saw) that they were going to stop or move to a new location, and I thought the project had simply been abandoned until I found the second website.
