Series 53.3 - Nova/Lumen with Spencer Campbell [Designer] (Discussion)

Character Creation Cast

Welcome to the final part of our Nova/Lumen series, everyone! This series we have Spencer Campbell joining us to showcase his fast-paced, action heavy RPG, Nova, a rules-lite tabletop RPG in a world where the sun exploded, and humanity struggles to hold onto what little light they have left. In this episode, we discuss the character creation process, pick Spencer’s brain about character creation, and dive into some phenomenal fanfic!
