51: Level Up with Russ Morrissey

This week the Steves are joined by Russ Morrissey, game designer, publisher, founder of EN World & EN Publishing, and host of Morrus' Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk. We could talk with Russ for hours about many topics in gaming, but, today, we're talking with him about a Kickstarter project that will launch the same day that this episode goes live for his new line called "Level Up".

Level Up is an expanded take on the 5th Edition D&D that many gamers know. Russ and his team have taken on the whole game, and added lots of depth that some folk have found lacking, along with greatly expanding the 'exploration pillar' of the original game, which many people find somewhat lacking in the original version.

*** NOTE: as of recording, the KS should launch at noon EST (US) 10/5/21 ***
