There’s something about taking what you have and creating something greater than the sum of its parts. That’s what filmmaking is. That’s what DND is. And that’s what friendships are, too. Whether we’re rolling the dice or rolling cameras, it’s all about creating, connecting, and telling stories that bring people together. Shoutout to our dungeon master Woody Brown at That Would Be Rad podcast! He creates awesome adventures for us but also builds incredible lifelike terrain which he kindly let us borrow for a recent video! Thanks Woody!
