Role-playing goes hand in hand with the gaming industry. From tabletop to MMOs, a wide spectrum of games falls into the RPG category. With such a broad overreaching umbrella, it can become a challenge to play every RPG that piques a players interest, and that's where streamers come in. Platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and even Facebook host an even larger network of streamers who love showcasing RPGs in their many forms.
However, much like how there are hundreds of RPG games divided among different categories, there are even more streamers who are fans of the genre. It can be difficult to navigate all these streaming platforms as a viewer, especially searching for new streams that highlight RPGs.
