Not DnD is a weekly show discussing tabletop roleplaying games. Each week EN Publishing’s @tabletopjess interviews the creators behind different tabletop roleplaying games that aren’t D&D!
You can watch the live recording every Monday at 5pm ET / 10pm BST on YouTube or Twitch, or catch up with the podcast platform of your choice by searching 'Not DnD'.
Here's the games we will be looking at in October 2024.
The Year is 1999. A cataclysmic accident has sent Earth’s moon hurtling into space, leaving behind a broken planet. Life has become a fight for survival for the people of Moonbase Alpha as their journey takes them far deeper into the universe than they ever thought possible!
This game has you playing one of the crew of Moonbase Alpha on their search for a new home. You can be an adventurous pilot, a stalwart security guard, a bold commander, an audacious medic, or any one of the 300 Alphans.
This game by Modiphius uses their 2D20 system. The game is now available to pre-order, and Andrew Peregrine will be on the show to tell us about what to expect in the frontiers of space!
Paint the Town Red is a game about being dead. You play as a vampire chasing the sensation of feeling alive, to escape the rot they feel in their soul.
This game is about depression, partying and falling in love, and explores themes of trauma, vice and loneliness.
The game is published by SoulMuppet publishing and is built on the engines of Orbital Blues and Best Left Buried. Zachary Cox will be joining us to share more about the game which will be live on backerkit soon!
The Bludgeon TTRPG System is a crunchy, tactical RPG with flexible mechanics. The game is made by a team of Indian designers and artists and is currently in development and being play tested.
The games core design centres around power sources the characters have (whether Martial, Chakra, Primal, Arcane or Divine), and a scaling system where power and experience does not mean bigger numbers. Instead, it means that you're a more rounded character with more options via adaptations, class abilities, and passives skills.
Designer Tejas Oza will be on Not DnD to share more about the game, and how you can get involved.
