I love text let's plays. They're a lot less common than they should be -- especially for indie games.

I love after action reports of Paradox games. There are many creative ways to approach the narrative.
I also like Marrend's LPs, but I usually stop following them half-way through for no real reason.

Hmm, I've never seen a text LP. It does slightly defeat what I enjoy most about LPs, either putting them on the background while doing other things or falling asleep listening to them.
I find they're great depending on your state of mind! It's easier to take breaks or multitask with text LPs for me, to be inspired, they're often wittier or have a more guided, intentional direction than a video let's play, it's a pretty different experience overall... And one that's more accessible to produce as well, since you don't need recording gear or powerful software to record and edit videos!
I would be delighted to see more stuff like that on RMN. I tried Text LPing craze's commonplace book entry but imgur screwed up the image order. I wonder what's a simple solution for saving screenshots and writing on the go. Saving them as files on a folder rather than directly ctrl+v-ing them in a document sounds like a pain.

I sometimes prefer them over walkthroughs or videos since I don't have to play "where am I at" or constantly seek through a video. I can just scroll down til I see a screenshot roughly where I'm at.
OH, okay! I had totally forgot these existed... I remember reading some pretty fun ones about Final Fantasy back in the day, that had a lot of personal commentary & development history alongside them.
dang, you've been hustling >_>

I'm not really sure what you mean by a text Let's Play... like, a series of blog posts written as someone plays through the game? Do you have a good example?

They used to be more popular, but you can still find them here and there. Here's an example on a site that catalogs a lot of them.

You know, while I've done a number of written LPs for games I know very well, it just never really occurred to me that I could have written LPs for games on RMN. Like, even in reference to my own stuff. Probably the closest I've come is this?
