YouTube allows gamers to expand beyond the Role-Playing Game (RPG) tables in their basements and peer into the circles of other gamers playing games. Or, if you are new to Dungeons & Dragons (5e) and wish to learn how to play and/or create your own world as a Dungeon Master (DM), there are many channels you can choose. That is the issue—there are so many channels!

However, I have conducted research, fell into several D&D rabbit holes—you’ve been warned, and found 10 of the best (in my humble opinion) D&D Streamers. If you want to look further than books, dice, figures, and maps (which are all great), here are the top 10 Streamers for you!
 

10. Blaine Simple

What Your Favorite D&D Class Says About You

Blaine Simple is the brainchild behind the Youtube channel with the same name. Blaine states that “this is a channel where I’ll be taking my passions and squishing them into weird videos with meme-y art!” Blaine takes anime with other art forms and combines them with Dungeons & Dragons. This is a terrific place for fans who love both anime and D&D!  Since the channel was launched on March 6, 2019, there are currently 176K subscribers and over 22 million views!

9. Critical Role

The Draw of Destiny, Campaign 3, Episode 1

Critical Role is a streaming staple for D&D enthusiasts! This channel aired its first show on June 21, 2019. Matthew Mercer is the brainchild behind Critical Role, and the players are also voice actors. Other actors in the show include Marisha Ray (his spouse), Ashley Johnson, and Travis Willingham. Celebrities who have guest starred on Critical Role include Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton. 

The PCs and the GM are animated, enthusiastic, and fun! I found myself laughing along with the group and I wanted to play with them. The program has also been nominated and won accolades such as the Streamy, Webby, and Shorty awards.

8. High Rollers DnD

Welcome to High Rollers DnD! Channel Trailer

If you are an Anglophile, you will want to tune into High Rollers! This channel is based in the United Kingdom and launched on January 12, 2017.  There are currently 102K subscribers with over 14 million views. Mark Hulmes is the Main Dungeon Master for High Rollers, which is a live-play D&D campaign where subscribers can watch them on their adventure. The channel also includes a merch store and a podcast. (I am currently eyeing the High Rollers Base Set Dice Tray.)

7. Dimension 20

5. Cami-Cat

Life of a Bard- A Dungeons and Dragons Inspired Original Song (featuring UniRob!) 

Cami-Cat commenced on August 6, 2010. Her channel lists her as an artist, animator, and vocalist. This is a unique site because the creator is a singer/songwriter who writes music based on D&D roleplaying adventures! Sometimes Cami-Cat is sappy and sometimes she is strong.

4. MCDM

Welcome to the 2nd Channel!

This channel, created by Matthew Coville, launched on February 25, 2019. The site is a nerd mecca of educational and entertainment of all aspects of gaming!

1. Runesmith

Most Useless Items in D&D 

I really like Runesmith because this channel offers lessons on topics such as D&D, nature, and writing. (I love all those topics!) Known online as Logan, he created Runesmith with both education and entertainment in mind. He started the YouTube page on October 8, 2018. Runesmith has over 64 million views! An interesting video to watch is called “How to Write an Interesting Character in 5 Minutes.”  Logan writes and produces videos for both the DM and the PC.  The author has over 352K subscribers, and he has created over 184 videos.
