## Resource

Watch as a full video interview on our YouTube channel Matthew Capodicasa is one of the founding members of the Glass Cannon Network, one of the leading actual play podcasts, as well as being an award-winning playwright whose work has been developed and presented across the globe. In addition to his extensive theater work, he has Film/TV projects in development with Annapurna Pictures, Anonymous Content, and XYZ Films. We had a great time chatting with Matthew, hearing about discovering TTRPGs as an adult, how his playwriting background influences his roleplaying, and the importance of failing for the sake of a good story. We also talk about pacing and knowing when a scene is over, and we get some interesting anecdotes about the early days of the Glass Cannon Network!
