An "Actual Play Series" is a type of media where players engage in tabletop role-playing games (RPGs) while recording their sessions. These recordings can be audio or video and often include commentary, character interactions, and storytelling. The series allows audiences to experience the game as if they were part of it, showcasing the creativity and dynamics of the players. These series have gained popularity through platforms like YouTube and Twitch, where fans can watch their favorite games, such as Dungeons & Dragons or Pathfinder. They provide entertainment and insight into gameplay mechanics, character development, and collaborative storytelling.
