Video Game Hell, the all trans woman podcast helmed by Sabbat creator Eva Problems, has completed its first RPG Hell actual-play campaign, never formally titled but which can only be called The Crawl. Run in the Apocalypse World system with prequel specials using Kingdom, it is set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where humans live alongside anthropomorphic animals, strange cosmic weirdness is leaking into reality, and a settlement has been built on and in a massive tank-like structure of unknown power-source and purpose, whose settlers include a pig-woman who started a cult based on a fansite about the Overwatch character Roadhog. A second season with a different system and, likely, setting is planned. Full episode links for convenience inside.
