Actual play, also called live play,[1] is a genre of podcast or web show in which people play tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) for an audience.[2][3] Actual play often encompasses in-character interactions between players, storytelling from the gamemaster, and out-of-character engagements such as dice rolls and discussion of game mechanics.[3] The genre emerged in the early 2000s[4] and became more popular throughout the decade,[2] particularly with the 2015 debut of Critical Role, an actual play webseries featuring professional voice actors.[5]
