#7 - player vs player
Season 1 · Episode 7
mardi 3 juin 2025 • Duration 01:00:40
In our seventh and final episode, we bust out all kinds of mechanics in a flurry of climactic player vs player action. Then we watch these characters waltz into the sunset... or, knowing Apocalypse World, somewhere far, far weirder and worse.
For an extended epilogue for Sam's character Ty, you can listen to Sam and Aaron talk about Love Letters in Apocalypse World over on this episode of Dice Exploder.

#6 - checking in
Season 1 · Episode 6
mardi 3 juin 2025 • Duration 15:50
In our sixth episode, we look back at the session we just played and debrief on how it went, particularly how we made our best efforts to check in with each other while deciding whether two characters would fuck last session, and how we'd been laying groundwork as far back as before we hit record on our first episode to make sure that scene was a good one we were all comfortable with.

#5 - highlighting stats, read a person, and sex
Season 1 · Episode 5
mardi 3 juin 2025 • Duration 51:38
In our fifth episode, our characters take a breather on the ride home after all the action from our session in episode three.
But that just means it's time to dig into the interpersonal mechanics. We highlight the start of session "highlighting stats" procedure and the read a person move, particularly how it functions when used on other player characters.
Then two players negotiate sex between their characters, and we cover Apocalypse World's moves for what happens mechanically when two characters get down.
