## Resource

Welcome to our first episode of “Crunch Squad”, Ned's bonus show where he chats with our cast members about the rules that make D&D work! In this premiere episode, he and Thomas discuss why a storytelling game needs so many rules in the first place, and how those rules actually support the narrative rather than restrict it. ••• Twitter: @ICastFireball20 Instagram: @ICastFireball20 Email: ICastFireball2020@gmail.com ••• AUDIO CREDITS As always a HUGE thank you to Hayden Allred for our amazing theme music!
