The setting: A very charming southern parlor. The scene: several respectable individuals enjoying an evening of practical repartee on the matter of biscuits. And guns. This gun in fact.

Trailer: Roulette Mar 11, 2020

Show notes

The head of a biker gang, an enigmatic child, a gun-lugging southern belle, and a cult leader walk into a bar. Maybe that sounds like the set up to a joke to you, but the apocalypse made our world a joke longer ago than any of us can remember. Announcing the Role Less Taken podcast’s second season: Roulette, an actual play Apocalypse World campaign run by our MC Mike. Everything kicks off when Lemon Dufresne (Peri) rolls into the city of Roulette seeking local help to reclaim an old family biscuit recipe. She hires Beatrice "Bear" Samuels (Megan), “the VP” His Holiness Lord Roadkill (a cat), and the Vultures bike gang, as well as the Happy Little People and their PBS-fueled leading artist Ross Roberts (Tom), and a quiet, unaffiliated young boy known only as Finch (Grahame) to come with her to the agricultural town of Source. But here, after the end of the world, it's the people who keep the most secrets that you can probably trust. ---- Game System: Apocalypse World by D. Vincent Baker, Meguey Baker, http://apocalypse-world.com/ Music for this campaign by Megan, Cover art by Peri. For more information about the show, visit us at our Facebook page.
