We consider both the impact of PbtA and the depiction of \"the Apocalypse\" in AW-- and how it differs from other contemporary games. Hosts Lowell Francis and Marc Majcher cover the short but rich history of AW and its long tail. We talk about what Apocalypse World is, where it fits in gaming history, our experiences playing it, and our general thoughts about the game.\nReferences\nTabletop RPG Design in Theory and Practice at the Forge, 2001–2012: Designs and Discussions\nDesigners & Dragons Volume 4 The 2000s\nApocalypse World: Burned Over is kinder and much angrier\nThe Daily Apocalypse\n+1 Forward: A Podcast Powered by the Apocalypse\nApocalypse World Burned Over Kickstarter\nRascal Interview with Macolm Craig\nFor other shows like this, check out Roll for Origin: Supers TTRPG History.\nMarc Majcher is an award-winning game designer, performer, educator, director, woodworker, writer, and all-around goblin-man recently relocated from Austin, Texas to East Lansing, Michigan.
