Rach Shelkey and Rich Rogers of the podcast +1 Forward interviewed me about Prep 2.0. We went all over the place but I think it was a pretty fun ep! Hope you enjoy it, and consider backing their Patreon.
Category: Indie Game Reading Club
Essays, actual play, theory talk, and general navel-gazing about story-focused roleplaying, aka “indie” games. And trindie. And OSR.
