Episode 2.15: Brandon Crose, The Ordinary Epic

This week we lead a band of intrepid adventurers on an expedition to make a fictional podcast series about a roleplaying group. Roll for initiative and may the D20 be with you. Brandon Crose is a playwright with +2 Charisma who is drawn to making making ambitious multimedia projects such as his acclaimed roleplaying podseries The Ordinary Epic. He joins us to talk audio drama, 31 plays in 31 days, roleplaying games similar to but legally distinct from Dungeons and Dragons, podcasts, Welcome to Night Vale., and a possible/probable Season 2 that you, yes YOU, can help make happen.

Mentioned: The Ordinary Epic Podcast, Second Shift Podcast, 31 plays in 31 days, The Ordinary Epic Patreon Campaign, One Minute Play Festival
