Not DnD

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this week's episode of Not DnD has been postponed.

Wreck This Deck is a dark urban fantasy game of solo journaling, demon summoning and deck crafting. Summon and bind demons into your Demon Deck, defacing the cards as you go. Demon summoning is dangerous and you’re bound to get into some sticky situations as you play but it’s nothing you can’t handle – right?

This solo tabletop role-playing game is a direct sequel to the award-winning Thousand Year Old Vampire! So You’ve Met a Thousand Year Old Vampire is a game about a regular (or not) person meeting an ancient, dangerous, intriguing being. This vampire may be driven by hunger, love, art, anger, despair, fear, the need to fill its years with meaning, or none of the above. That’s where you fit in. But how you fit, exactly, is what can only be learned through play.  Are you a friend, a lover, food, or something else?

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!

The Era d10 Rule Set is a core ruleset which powers over fourteen games in different settings across the Era Universe. Each of the games has unique rules which affect the balance of that game. As the title outlines, the game uses a D10 dice pool. The Era d10 Rule Set has been created to make the process of playing the game as simple as possible, while remaining representative. It is designed to be intuitive and to leave the choices in the hands of the Game Master. The goal is to reduce the time spent referring to the rulebook and increase the time spent having fun while playing!

A game inspired by fantasy fiction and hopes to offer an alternative to D&D and other fantasy RPGs for players more interested in telling dramatic stories than killing, "looting", and counting torches. Against the Odds uses the PbtA framework and follows along the example of the most modern incarnations of that philosophy, such as Masks: A New Generation, Avatar Legends, and Urban Shadows.
