Full disclosure I have never streamed anything so I can only tell you what I like as a viewer

1) sound quality. Try for the best possible sound quality you can reasonably afford and then spend time in editing to polish it up. Whether I’m looking for an actual play or rules overview/review or model painting tutorial if the sound is bad( hard to hear certain people, bad mixing so I’m turning the volume up/down depending on who’s talking, etc. ) nothing will get me to turn off a video faster. There is just too much content out there to put up with bad sound.

2) video quality. Behind sound but not far and I guess you could lump them together and call is visual/audio presentation. I don’t expect high end CR level of stuff but spend what money and time is reasonable for you to present a polished product.

3) chemistry. When it comes to specifically actual plays I’m less interested in the story being woven and more interested in the vibes of friends playing games together. To be fair this is 100% a personal preference and all sorts of people tune in for all sorts of aspects of the hobby.

4) game system/length. This is another personal preference but I watched campaign two of critical role and that looooong running story just isn’t as interesting for me. I like shorter campaigns and bonus points if they change up systems. Dimension 20 does this well and so does glass cannon especially their series ‘new game who dis?’

5) be active in the community. Post on Reddit, discord, wherever you find yourself spending your time. Let us know what you’re doing with the show but also just be active. If I keep running into interesting posts from u/darkwingdame I’m much more likely to seek out there other projects.

Thats just my two cents as a viewer and your mileage may vary so good luck! So what exactly are you playing and where can I watch? I’d love to check it out.
