Apocalypse Road – What’s in a Name

by

So far on InsideGMT we have covered the design process and how Carla and I managed to get from Thunder Alley to Apocalypse Road. We have discussed why we did it. We wrote about mistakes that we made. We have written about the “eureka” moments of finding not only what works but what works and is also cool. And we have described how the game plays. Stig has guided us through a pretty extensive After Action Report that highlighted many of the features of the game. Thanks Stig. To be honest I’m wracking my brain to find mechanical topics to write about. It really appears that the details are out there. For me the key now is to get this game into the market and let it speak for itself. That is going to require me to find some way to convert a few more of you into backers that will hop on the P500 and make this thing take-off.
