Iyengar explained, “There is something about Dimension 20 in particular that scratches every beautiful piece of comedy and improvisation and that wildly creative story.” “It opened up new possibilities for the kind of stories you can tell that kind of epic-level, high fantasy D&D games that I’m into.

Then it becomes so interesting to see who they become and who they turn and the mold they step in or step out of when it hits the fay society at large. ,
