    Imagine a long form game like this or something in the realm of DnD where they start off with 4 characters, but when a character dies, another Smosh cast member replaces them with their character. Week after week following an ultimate adventure. Say Courtney dies, then Arasha takes her place in next week's video with her character until we've gone through everyone at Smosh in a grand story adventure. Deaths would mean something and no telling which cast member team ups we would get. I think that could be sick and give content for months

      I was thinking that as well. You could even mix systems up and play a series through and then have those characters move on to play another game or their descendents. Making it an ongoing story but in "segments" where people could watch it as an isolated series as well! So many possibilities!!
