live D&D shows are pretty interesting as a form of media, since everyone on screen has, in theory, some amount of agency within the story, but that agency must be negotiated with the rest of the cast, in real time
The negotiation of agency is not an act, but happens outside of the story. What you see in this process are those actual real life people trying to communicate with one another.
D&D shows are of course an offshoot of improv, which has the same element of live negotiation, but improv shows, even long ones, don't last more than an hour. if the negotiation went poorly, oh well, tough break, try again later
D&D shows often last hundreds of hours, with decisions that can have a lasting impact on the plot.
