I'm probably not your intended audience as I find audio and video APs pretty dull. Give me a written AP (preferably including footnotes from the players as to their thoughts at the time) and I am so there! I did a few myself before, this is an example www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/3...

...we created a 'playset' that I then took & developed into Anarktika which was my first credit. I used the same rules to create a GoT version which I never released but had a good game of once.
