There’s no connection between the Geek Native podcast Audio EXP and Plus One Exp. In their own words, the latter is a “weird little brand”.
Plus One Exp merges tabletop game design with beard and skincare. They’re striving to be content champions in indie tabletop, and they ran their own tabletop awards last week. The name? The Awards.
As Thomas of the Indie RPG Newsletter points out, there isn’t a page that lists the award winners, but the award coordinator tweeted/x-creteded them.
