Meet the Cast of the Star-Crossed Seaway!
almost 2 years ago – Fri, Apr 22, 2022 at 05:05:58 AM

Hello folks! Sorry for the frequent updates--we try to spread them out!

In our last update we mentioned a new official Level Up: Advanced 5E livestream begining next week on Aptil 26th. That's called The Star-Crossed Seaway, and it's an 8-week campaign run by DM Sarah with a piratey theme. 

Two days ago, a strange object fell from the stars and landed on a deserted island. Join our seafaring heroes as they uncover its mysteries. The first official Level Up Advanced 5th Edition actual play campaign from EN Publishing.

Before then though you can meet the cast TODAY, Thursday April 21st! At 8pm BST (3pm EDT) in EN Publishing usual monthly livestreamed update, host Jessica Hancock will be introducing the cast of the upcoming show along with the rest of EN Publishing's news as always.

You can catch tonight's show on Twitch at the link below. Please do try to make it--it would mean so much to us all! This is our first official Level Up livestream, and we hope to do lots more.

In the meantime, here's the trailer. Note that whereever we've said "EST" we meant "EDT". We're not used to American time zones -- sorry!

Shipping Update, Livestreams, & New Kickstarter
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Apr 20, 2022 at 02:31:27 PM

Hello folks! It looks like most people outside NA now have their books. We've seen loads of photos of shiny hardcovers in peoples' hands! 

For those in North America, we've got an update on the expected arrival time of the container ship in Florida--the expected arrival at port date is 26th, which makes the full transatlantic crossing about a 3 week journey. We know ships be slow, but it's nearly there, and once the containers are through customs (no problems anticipated--we've done all the paperwork in advance!) you should have them pretty soon after.

Livestream Ahoy!

Two days ago, a strange object fell from the stars and landed on a deserted island. Join our seafaring heroes as they uncover its mysteries.

We're launching the first ever official Level Up actual play livestream next week! It will be on Twitch, Tuesday April 26th at 3pm EST.

Can We Keep It? Pets for your D&D 5E Game

In the meantime, we're releaunching our 'mini-quickstarter' series with a short softcover book. Do you have a party of players who want to befriend every critter and monster they come across? Including rules to allow player characters of all classes to adopt pets, five tameable pets from the Elemental Planes, new mechanics to help manage pets, Marks of Renown your players can collect from their deeds (perhaps Mark of Nature for the pet lovers?), and ending with a mini-adventure featuring the eccentric Lady Philomina—who keeps rust monsters as pets.

Compatible with D&D 5E and also Level Up Advanced 5th Edition.

Get notified on launch here!

That's all for now folks! We'll update you when that ship arrives at port!

Those not in the UK, but not in North America have also had their rewards dispatched. They take a little longer to travel to you, but those are also en route. Keep an eye out!

Voidrunner’s Codex Playtest: Psion
about 2 years ago – Tue, Mar 22, 2022 at 03:19:02 PM

Hi folks! In the lull while the warehouse staff package up and ship all your shiny hardcover books (so exciting!) we have a playtest document for one of the classes from the upcoming Level Up: Voidrunner's Codex book, which is one of three new hardcovers we have planned for this year.

If you remember the public playtests we held last year in the run-up to the Level Up Kickstarter, we’re following the same model this year—playtest documents, followed by surveys. There will be a Kickstarter later this year, so keep an eye out for that (and for the Dungeon Delver’s Guide and the To Save a Kingdom adventure path)!

That said, if the idea of the psion class tickles your fancy, please do take a look at it and take the playtest survey! More info at the link below!
