Teaching Games: Apocalypse Keys
Episode description
Support the show on Patreon
The first episode in a series of special episodes meant to teach some of my favourite indie RPGs. Listen in to hear Rae Nedjadi, designer of Apocalypse Keys, teach you how to play his game.
In Apocalypse Keys, you play OMEN-class monsters working for an organisation named DIVISION tasked with holding back the apocalypse. Inspired by Hellboy and BPRD, the players struggle to find Keys before the villainous Harbingers unlock the Doors of Power and bring doom on the world.
You can learn more on the Evil Hat website or on the itch page.
Transcript of the entire episode can be found here.
