Play-on-Chain: Bringing 5e Gameplay to the Blockchain | Brent McCrossen | GRIPNR & The Glimmering

In this episode, Jay speaks with Brent McCrossen, CEO of GRIPNR a web3 company, and The Glimmering, the world’s only 5e on-chain play-to-progress TTRPG played with collectible NFT characters. In its current state, the classic TTRPG model is not designed to fairly reward contributors for their passion, work, and fun. GRIPNR is looking to solve this fundamental opportunity. Brent shares what led to the inception of GRIPNR and how he remains dedicated and focused as a successful entrepreneur of over 25 years. He also discusses how GRIPNR is enabling the fair distribution of value, shares what he believes observed communities are desiring currently and how attention to detail both visually and technologically, ultimately adds value to the community.
