Not DnD

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!

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 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!

Our Brilliant Ruin is a tabletop roleplaying game set in the Dramark, a place where the last fragile remains of society live in the shadow of a dying world. The Ruin, a preternatural force befouling everything it touches, has ravaged geography and culture alike, wreaking destructive havoc and loosing monstrous creatures into a previously bucolic region. With the world plunged into rust and ruin, how will you spend the time you have left?

The game uses an original system of d6 dice pools driven by a character’s emotions and motivations.

Come find out more with creators Justin Achilli and Rachel J Wilkinson!

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?

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!
