Welcome to a special bonus episode of Character Creation Spotlight! Today we’re highlighting Rich Howard and his game, Descent into Midnight, that he is co-designing with Richard Kruetz-Landry and Taylor LaBresh, whom we had on previously for a full Descent into Midnight series back in Series 18! Find out what’s changed since that series, or hear about the game for the first time in this abridged format, and get pumped to back this amazing kickstarter happening right now!
