When the characters are level 1, a goblin is a scary beast. But by level 5 they may be able to shake off a few rounds with a dragon. By level 10, they might be looking for what gods have been itching for a butt kicking. Expanding on last week’s topic of progression and advancement, Sara & Rob will be joined by Autumn M. Birt and Jesper Schmidt, award winning authors, to discuss how characters leveling up inevitably changes the plot and storytelling.
