Richard Rogers is on the road to Origins, so he asked me to tell you about the newest episode of +1 Forward! This one features Gregor Vuga from Red Moose Games, and it’s a terrific conversation. I myself have recently played Sagas of the Icelanders for the first time, and this episode does a great job highlighting some of the things I thought were special about the experience.
A mystery: why didn’t Rich call his AP character a PLUScarl instead of a huscarl?
Also, a question: in Apocalypse World, how do you just, you know, shoot that guy? We have the answers!
