“The Final Showdown”
In this final episode of Season 1, we get to see Boo and Ricarra as PCs for the first time – defending Skull Head from the Sunktown invasion! Back in Sunktown, Found finally makes his move, and something Caitlin had been keeping in Big Fucker’s back pocket suddenly becomes relevant.
Hold on to your seats, folks, because it’s gonna be a wild ride!

“Bad Religion”
In the penultimate episode of Season 1, we watch a church service, delve deep into the psychic malestrom, and finally get a good look at Found’s god.
This was actually the first half of the last session, which was a marathon. We never had a session this long again; optimal Apocalypse World (and Powerd by the Apocalypse games) session length seems to be 2-4 hours with breaks.

“Two Funerals and a Wedding”
This is the second recorded (and fifth overall) episode of our Sunktown Apocalypse World campaign. It features a lot of Krin, our wonderful, creepy, religious fanatic NPC doctor.
It was hot when we recorded this so you can hear the A/C when it’s running (and the bugs outside when it’s not). This goes away after a couple of recordings as the weather settles down.

“Battle at the Tanks”
A recording from our first play of Vincent Baker’s Apocalypse World. Just like Star Wars, we’re starting three episodes in (Dave didn’t have his microphone yet for the first three). Don’t worry – you’ll figure it out quick enough.
Dave is the MC for this campaign. The players and their characters are:
The game takes place in Sunktown, a flooded, post-environmental apocalypse city (or really, part of a suburb), somewhere in the American northwest. The local hardholder is Mercer, who runs Sunktown with his partner Shan. They tolerate Found’s cult because they can’t afford not to. The closest rival settlement is Skull Head, run by the wily Ricarra.
The world itself is perpetually wet and overcast, and there is a pervasive, parasitic rot that affects anyone who spends too much time in the swamp.
And the swamp is everywhere.
