    Not DnD Podcast Break for 2026

    We first started the show in March 2022! I love speaking to designers and publishers of all sizes about their games. I’m incredibly lucky to get to do this as part of my job, but loving your work and creating projects you are passionate about can make maintaining work-life balance a challenge. So in 2026 the Not DnD podcast will be on a break for the foreseeable future. This will not be the end of the Not DnD podcast though! After a break we will be looking to bring the show back, perhaps in a different format or structure to make it more sustainable. Thank you all for watching and listening to Not DnD over the last three years. You can still catch me each week on the Morrus' Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk (Live streaming as always Friday at 2pm UK time/ 9am Eastern) and This Week in TTRPG podcasts.

In the game you play as Branch Riders, fighting to contain a malevolent force known as the Blight. Your home is the Nexus, which branches out into eight distinct realms. Protecting the realms is a game of battle and subterfuge, foiling the Blight and then returning to the Nexus to debrief and recover. Players track the team’s Exposure - how aware the Blight is of their presence - and as Exposure increases, the mission becomes more difficult and dangerous. The games unique system has a quick and simple character creation. Choose your home realm, assign dice to your five Approaches (attributes), rate your skills, choose your Gift, and write your Purpose - that’s it! Branch riders also uses cards to track conditions with physical, emotional, or social consequences in-game.

    Based on the Root: A Game of Woodland Might and Right board game, Root: The RPG brings the tales of the Woodland to your RPG table!   In Root: The RPG, you play vagabonds, outcasts from the normal society of the Woodland who have come to live in the spaces between, whether that's in the forests themselves or on the fringes of society.

    140 Shiver RPG | bring your favourite scary movies and horror stories to life

    Shiver is a setting neutral TTRPG that works as a framework to bring your favourite scary movies, spooky tv shows, and horror stories to life.   Great for one shots, with quick to learn rules and fast character creation. The archetype game system has you matching symbols instead of adding up numbers, and the doom clock mechanic helps GMs build tension throughout the game.   Charlie Menzies from Parable Games returns this week to tell us more about Shiver.   Shiver RPG: https://www.parablegames.co.uk/pages/shiver Grim Gazette: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/parablegames/the-grim-gazette-a-collection-of-victorian-horror-ttrpgs  Don’t Play This Game Interview: https://notdnd.podbean.com/e/68-don-t-play-this-game-with-charlie-menzies/

    139 Enclave: the diceless, yet mechanically deep, narrative roleplaying game

    Enclave is a diceless narrative roleplaying game, but don’t mistake it for being rules light! Storytelling is everything in Enclave; the game is played purely verbally, with common sense and commitment determining success. The game has a range of mechanics that can be used for game masters, however the core mechanics are simple enough to use for a one shot with a new player. Character creation provides a range of creative options, and takes around 15 minutes. Successfully funded in 2023 on Kickstarter, the game is now expanding the core ruleset with a second edition and an expansion book providing more player options and levelling rules. Join us on this weeks episode of Not DnD where we talk to creator Robby Howell to learn more about Enclave.   Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/robbylava/enclave-aspirant Discord: https://discord.gg/JdZWyf7fq2 Email: robbylavagames@gmail.com
