In this episode of RPG Heroes, we delve into our main topic: "Post-Apocalyptic RPGs" with the help of the very busy Tomas Härenstam, creator of "Mutant: Year Zero", an award-winning RPG that has become the basis for many other cool games his company Free League (Fria Ligan) has published since. We talk about what's fun about Post-Apocalyptic RPGs, European RPGs, D6 dice pools and of course who Tomas' RPG heroes are.
