Holly & Brit are both great players from what Iāve seen of them on the dnd channel, itāll be a great addition bringing them to Rollplay.
Pretty hyped for Commander Holly being on a One Shot. I wondered if she was ever gonna be on Rollplay
Iām sure Iām alone in wishing for more well known guests, or at least guests Iām more likely to know/watch them later for one-shots. I mean I know Holly from Dodger, and I know Missclicks is a thing butā¦ between not knowing who guests are, knowing other guestsā work and behavior (and disliking them for it), do all other slots have to be filled with āFriends/Coworkers of Adamā? Add on to how long introductions, going over rules, character creation, setup, etcā¦ I end up just feeling āMehā about the whole thing.
As an avid wrestling fan, this is damn awesome.
Gotta say, havent been this hyped for One-shots since Dodgers romp 
Cant wait!
Not everyone is going to like everything. That being said, making comments like āhave to be filled with Friends/Coworkers of Adamā when you have zero information on how the scheduling process or knowledge of any cast discussions is both mean-spirited and pointless.
As Erasure sang:
Open your eyes I see
Your eyes are open
Wear no disguise for me
Come into the open
No need to judge people you donāt know. How else will you ever broaden your view? All of the guests are youtubers / streamers and not some ācoworkersāā¦ well i guess they are as Adam is a streamer too? I like to see new people and potentially see someone i start to follow. [spoiler]Itās also good for the participants as they can cross-pollinate viewers by having new faces around.[/spoiler]
The selection of possible female players might not be that wide. I guess some interest in wrestling is needed and iām not sure how many can address to that and be able to be available for scheduling. Tho i gotta say Ezekiel_III could really have been something with a wig and some makeup. 
You know of the scheduling process and knowledge of cast discussions as much as I do. Makes your finger wagging needlessly aggressive.
The only person Iām outright negatively judging is one, which I wonāt name. Others I know from various Roll20 shows which personally, arenāt entertaining. With the exception of John Harper, Iāve known the others in some capacity before they were a guest on a one shot.
John Harper, Austin Walker, and Jerry Holkins are neither YTers or streamers, and as far as I know, Roll20 pays cast some monetary value ([spoiler]because itās certainly not going into making their lfg system any better[/spoiler]). That makes some of the guests coworkers in some capacity. Does that mean none of those mentioned canāt? Noā¦ but Itās almost always either people who weāve seen before on RP shows or Adamās pool of friends.
I personally think there only really needs to be an interest in RPing for 3-4 hours. It is a one shot after all. I donāt doubt though there are just some subjects to me that I personally would be, for lack of a better word, repulsed by, purely on theme alone (Traditional Sports for example), so the same might be said for other people.
Zeke, Bikeman, a mekeish character in Giantwaffle. Someone who constantly gets mentioned and is practically in a wrestling-ish type persona everytime he streams is DrDisrespect - someone who Iāve never watched before. Iām unsure the decision behind an all-female cast butā¦ whatever.
I dunno, especially for a one shot it makes sense to get a group who already know and are comfortable with each other - especially with this powered-by-the-apocalypse social style of gaming. As someone who doesnāt have the time to keep up with Misclicks and all the roll20 stuff it should be fun to see these guys in action in the best environment.
As in the OP, itās because of the GLOW theme.
What is the GLOW theme?
Ok, that makes senseā¦ not a style Iām into, but at least the cast choice makes sense.
The only thing I hope for is for the cast members to be somewhat knowledgeable of the wrestling world as I think that will make it much more enjoyable. A good inspiration to draw from could be Southpaw Regional Wrestling or Max Landisā āWrestling Isnāt Wrestlingā
I think the all-female cast is mostly due to the new netlix show āGLOWā being the inspiration for this one shot. At least thatās how it sounds. While I would definitely prefer to see Zeke on this show due to how perfectly he fits the theme I would typically want to see, I trust that Adam will have a theme in his head that will be enjoyable even if it differs wildly from what I was expecting.
Being somewhat familiar with the roll20 content, Iām pretty sure that elf and bluejay will put out a great performance, they mesh well together and have some really funny character interactions even when I donāt always enjoy their actual characters. I havenāt seen anything from the other half of the cast, but I canāt think of a single example of JP picking anyone actually bad, so I really doubt they will disappoint in any way.
Regardless of all that, Iāve been wanting a rollplay take on this ruleset since adam mentioned it ages ago (I think it might have even been 2yrs ago), so I was pretty pumped for this before I even looked at the cast.
Hey Adam, I was just wondering where youāll be drawing your inspirations from besides GLOW?
the game itself, mostly. old memories of wrestlemania from the 80s also.
I donāt know much about any of the guests on the show. My one hope is that at least one of them is a wrestling fan.
This is pretty cool. If Adam is drawing from the old days of wrestle-yore, I think itād tickle the inner child of me who once thought wrestling was actual sports sports and not sports entertainment. That and I think R.Mika is kinda cool.
