there's a post in the tag about someone wishing to see more Omar in D20 and I agree, but it also reminded me about how a year ago a few RPG streamers I like started Power Play, and I never ended up watching it, and I just recently learned that Omar was in that and I could have seen what an awesome player he was long ago if I just had watched it
and then I got to thinking about how many cool actual plays are out there that don't have the budget that Dimension 20 or Critical Role have, but tell really cool stories with really good players regardless! And a lot of these players deserve recognition, but there's so little space to showcase new players for audiences who only watch D20 or CR
so anyway I compiled a list of every single actual play Omar has been in (at least, those I could find VODs for)
Power Play: actual play of Icons, a silver-age inspired superheroes rpg, hosted by QueueTimes! It's played remotely, about 59 episodes long, and includes several one-shots where (I think?) they play some other game systems as well
The Borros Saga: Banesbreak: actual play of Dungeons and Dragons, hosted by PixelCircus! Played in person, about 12 episodes long, with some one-shot vignettes. Aabria is also a player here!
Monsters and Fables: actual play of Dungeons and Dragons, hosted by the official D&D channel! Played in person, 6 episodes long
Buffy the Vampire Slayer RPG: actual play of Dungeons and Dragons, hosted by Hyper RPG! Played in person, about 9 episodes long, and half the time Omar is DMing!
Balboa Cantrip Academy: actual play of Kids on Brooms, a rules-lite magical school rpg, hosted by Hyper RPG! Played remotely, and only 3 episodes long (Episode 2, Episode 3, on Twitch)
Pugmire: Homeword Bound: actual play of Pugmire, a simplified D20 with dogs, hosted by Saving Throw! Played in-person, only 3 episodes long
The Last VHS Store: a 3-episode series hosted by Saving Throw, where Omar GMs a lite D20 system he designed himself! All in-person
Carrier Penguins: a series of 4 one-shots hosted by Saving Throw, playing Lasers and Feelings, an easily hackable lite system. Ep1, Ep2, Ep3, Ep4, all in-person
Oneshots specifically:
Aces in Space charity stream with QueueTimes, playing Blue Shift - remote
The Golden Girls charity stream with PixelCircus, playing Lewd Grannies - remote
The Gauntlet s2e2 with Hyper RPG, playing Pathfinder (Omar later GMs the 8-episode s4) - in-person
Spy Island ep1 with Hyper RPG, playing ?? (an ad-hoc mafia/werewolf rpg) - remote
(And here's just a truncated list of his Saving Throw oneshots, bc there's a lot: Scooby-Doo rpg playing Wildlings, Lasers and Feelings with the Doubleclicks, House of 100 Nightmares GMing Dread, John Wick charity stream playing Lasers and Feelings)
Game the Game (board games instead of tabletops RPGs) with Geek and Sundry, playing Pitchstorm, Aftermath, and Scott Pilgrim - in-person
He was also a campaign guest player in Failed Save c2e3 (D&D, PixelCircus), Damsels, Dice, & Everything Nice s3e2 (D&D, PixelCircus), and Ironkeep Chronicles ep21 (D&D, Saving Throw)

Sellswords headcanon/thing that is amusing to me to imagine.
When Artemis and Jarlaxle were adventuring together, if someone asked Artemis about his "friend," he would immediately respond, "He's not my friend."
Jarlaxle overheard this of course and started playing along, also denying that they were friends when asked. Unlike Artemis, though, he always elaborated.
e.g.:
We met five minutes ago
I'm just following him because he owes me money
Who - Oh Hells, I thought I lost him
I've never seen that man before in my life
He's my husband
He's my twin brother
That's an automaton I built
We're members of rival factions tasked with spying on each other
"It's just that it's mostly my fault he got cursed so I feel obligated to help him find a way to break it." "In what way is he cursed?" "That's very polite of you to pretend not to notice."
He's a shape shifted red dragon and he's planning to eat me. Please help.
You can see him too??

adding to my previous post junpei is so so confused he just wanna be friends w the guys who beat up his bullies so bad but turns out every crazy person he meets claim megumi as their boy
Junpei, not normal, trying to be normal for once: fushiguro's kind of cool. do you think he'd be okay with me hanging out with your group when i transfer?
nobara: *snorts loudly*
Junpei: is that a no
Nobara: fushiguro will be fine. you just have to get through the security detail first
junpei: sorry?
Nobara: fushiguro is apparently okkotsu yuuta's boy--
Yuuji, shouting, from the other room: WE HAVE NOT CONCLUSIVELY PROVEN THAT YET
Nobara: get over it itadori
junpei: ... what? sorry, who's okkotsu?
Nobara: we're not really sure yet, we haven't met him
Yuuji, at the exact same time, has been frothing at the mouth since he learned yuuta existed: some impossibly perfect and beautiful bastard who gets everything in life and does not get to take fushiguro from us too
Junpei: what
Nobara, thinks this shit is hilarious: technically fushiguro has been okkotsu's boy since before you even knew him. he'd have first dibs.
Yuuji: kugisaki you cannot just give up on this without a fight. fushiguro is our boy
Nobara, lying: you know i hear fushiguro and okkotsu are on first name basis. so techincally megumi is his boy
Yuuji: kugisaki say psych right now. kugisaki.
Junpei, so confused: sorry, i'm lost. who exactly is okkotsu?
Yuuji, angry, stomping away: he's the perfect man!
Junpei:
Nobara: he's our senpai currently studying abroad in africa. apparently he's kind of a big shot. and if the other second years are telling the truth, then he and fushiguro apparently have a very special relationship
Yuuji: THEY COULD BE LYING
Nobara: some weird shirtless asshole from another school tried messing with fushiguro and the second years told him to find a border and get over it because fushiguro was okkotsu's boy and he would snap him in half if he ever found out about this. and that he would absolutely find out about this because apparently inumaki senpai's a bit of a simp for him. so. honestly could be kind of fun to watch that fight.
Junpei:
Nobara: also apparently fushiguro doesn't know that everyone calls him okkotsu's boy so don't tell him.
Yuuji: NO ONES TELLING HIM BECAUSE THAT PERFECT SON OF A BITCH DOESN'T GET OUR BOY TOO KUGISAKI
Nobara: we are very obviously going to tell him. but consider. we can only tell him ONCE.

chrollo is so hot, but he doesn’t know a lick of hair styling. please baby, you’re better off wearing an old decrypt garment stained with aged boldly fluids, before you even get near a hair gel…someone please take away his hair gel. for the phantom troupe to be his childhood friends, they’ve really scorned the title “friend” because a real one would tell him how bad he looks 😭 they let his ass go out looking like that!!!! sick!
chrollo’s face shape is not made to have his hair so aggressively swept back, and glued down tight. he is scaring away the girls! enough is enough! someone tell chrollo about the wonders of a middle part and nicely groomed hair.
but yeah. i think he’s pretty neat.
To be honest my mom let me go out looking like whatever I did at 13 to 16 years of age so I understand the troupe for not caring but hasn't he looked into a mirror? He's a grown man. Your mafia boss look isn't more important than the girls please don't scare them away
