With this episode, it makes it the fourth month in a row which see:
- Nella Inserra from the “Apocalist Book Club” podcast, and “Nella Explains” which includes a coffee table lining inspired episode which taught me about some areas of London.
- Meguey and D. Vincent Baker from Lumpley Games, co-authors of Apocalypse World
Together, we visit the allegorical apocalyptic landscape of “Stalker“, a 1979 movie directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. This movie is loosely based on the novel “Roadside Picnic” by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky who also co-written the film.
As usual, we review this film and discuss ways it could inspire tabletop RPG adventures, characters, or practices.
