Customer Reviews
Delightful look at a variety of great games
1 Forward is one of my favorite podcasts. Rich and Rach are very knowledgable about Powered by the Apocalypse and they have really interesting guests come to talk about their games.
The vibe of the show is kind and helpful. I feel like I want to try every game they talk about.
Also Rich’s voice is just… real dang comforting.
Good discourse on PbtA games
Two fun and knowledgeable hosts interview Powered by the Apocalypse (PbtA) game designers and have a short little actual play session of the game. They also dive into aspects of PbtA games and analyze a few movies to see how you could recreate them in PbtA games.
I’ve bought and played many a game that I first heard about on this show.
Fabulous!
My favorite podcast!
