Richard Rogers and I are preparing a follow up to last year’s +1 Forward episode “Playing the Apocalypse”. This episode explored questions from the community about playing PbtA games. Topics we covered last time included strategies to help other players succeed, how to best engage interPC mechanics and the differences between being a player in a PbtA game verses other systems.

Do you have any new and fresh questions about playing Powered by the Apocalypse games? Let us know here and your question might get featured on the show! I can’t wait to see what important topics and ideas you all suggest.

Please note that these questions should be tied to being a player and not an MC.
