Exit, the Outsider - Character Building is Worldbuilding with Sam Dunnewold (Apocalypse World)

Characters Without Stories

Sam Dunnewold brings Exit to the table. Exit is a scavenger living on the edges of a dangerous psychic mist and a society that demands they conform.

Sam and I discuss building a character within the context of a post apocalyptic world, being brave because you have to be, and transparency in gaming.

This character is built for Apocalypse World by D. Vincent and Maguey Baker.
