Description

After you’ve made the rules, you need to decide how you’re going to tell them. The right rule in the wrong order can make all the difference!


In this unscripted episode, we share our initial thoughts about how we want our next rulebook to start, how to include immersive writing without sacrificing clarity, and (for some reason) reminisce about spooky VHS covers we encountered as children.
