Skye Smith has one of the rarest jobs in the world: they’re the lorekeeper for Dimension 20, a hit actual-play Dungeons & Dragons show on Dropout TV. In this episode, Skye explains what D&D is, how collaborative storytelling works, and what it’s like to keep track of every single character, snack, and magical tree across multiple seasons. We talk about improvisation, creativity under constraint, and how Skye’s love of story led them from working as a production assistant to building their dream job from scratch. If you’ve ever wondered how a sprawling fantasy epic gets made—or how a cockroach named Marty ends up in Madison Square Garden—this one’s for you.We're a bootstrapped, indie podcast, so please text a friend and share your favorite episode.
