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 August 2024.
Jude’s World - 12th August
Jude's World, is a solo, tarot based journaling TTRPG in which a precocious preteen protagonist struggles to reunite their warring parents. The game both pays homage to and critiques "Parent Trap" style narratives while reveling in a 90s sitcom aesthetic.
Jude's World employs a traditional Rider-Waite tarot deck to generate story prompts as well as a 2d6 system for resolving Jude's attempts to rekindle the parents romance. Play through important milestones on Jude's journey into teenhood and explore their family's past through the keepsakes and knickknacks you uncover around their home.
A campaign on Kickstarter will launch in 6th August to fund a print run of the 32-page game, plus a companion workbook.
Horse & Rider - 19th August
Horse and Rider is a 2-player game about a horse rider taming, and forming a bond with, their horse.
One person plays the horse, the other the rider and each work together to form a bond over the course of six stages. Each stage draws from the techniques used to tame horses and are mechanically represented through a six-sided dice and three pieces of string or ribbon that are braided together. This mechanic was chosen as a way to represent trust between the two parties and draws from the history of horse riders braiding horse hair.
The crowdfunding campaign for the book print run was fulfilled in 2023, and is now available in PDF format on itch.
Era D10 - 26th August
The Era d10 Rule Set is a core ruleset which powers over ten 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!

D&D Companion Set BECMI (from the product description: “OD&D had short sections on ruling baronies and constructing castles. It was clearly intended as a successful end point for high-level characters. The idea carried into AD&D (1977-1979), where higher level characters could build strongholds (or towers), but by this point the rules were vestigial: the concept of characters settling down to rule was largely outside the norm of D&D play as the game entered through the '80s.”) https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17165/DD-Companion-Set-BECMI-Ed-Basic?affiliate_id=36142

Each week we revisit a short skit from the main podcast, a year or more back. In this one, the party doesn’t respect the precision work of a rogue’s lockpicking.
A bunch of people asked for this. So, this stuff is normally in our bonus content (outtakes) for our Patrons, but some things just need to be shared more widely.

But you were warned.
Also, please back the Patreon for the show!

Each week we revisit a short skit from the main podcast, a year or more back. In this one, the party says goodbye to a dearly departed friend in the traditional manner of the adventurer.
These are the voyages of the starship FSS Brazen. Its continuing mission: to recklessly go where plenty of people have probably been before… and hope a major interstellar incident isn’t sparked in the process. In this highly illogical adventure for the ACE! roleplaying game, you’ll explore frontiers you never thought you had.
This one-shot demo of the Awfully Cheerful Engine! is run by Morrus, with players Sara, Bez, Matt, and Quill!

Twitch Affiliate requirements are a minimum of 50 followers, minimum of 500 minutes total streamtime, and an average* of 3 or more concurrent viewers across all streams with a minimum of 7 unique streaming days over a rolling 30-day period (“Days” run from 00:00 GMT to 23:59 GMT). This is an automated process with an invitation sent as soon as the requirements are met. https://affiliate.twitch.tv/
Twitch Partner requirements are a minimum of 25 hours streamed with a minimum of 12 unique streaming days and an average* of 75 concurrent viewers (not counting raids, hosts, and embeds) over a rolling 30-day period OR can demonstrate a “large, engaged viewership/following on other services” (meaning popular YouTubers can skip the requirements). This is a manually reviewed process you must apply for and is approved or denied by an actual person and meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance. https://www.twitch.tv/p/partners/
- These numbers can be difficult to calculate because they’re averaged for an entire stream then averaged again for the rolling 30-day period, but a basic idea is that they’re averaged for an entire stream, then averaged again per stream. For example, if you stream for one hour and have one viewer for the first 15 minutes then four viewers for the following 45 minutes, your average viewer count for that stream is 3.25. If your next two streams average out to 2 and 4 viewers (regardless of the length of those streams), then your average viewer count for those three streams together is 3. This is different than the calculation on Twitch’s analytics page and can cause confusion if the Path to Affiliate achievement doesn’t unlock even though it says you have more than 3 average viewers over the previous 30 days.
Note: When agreeing to become a Twitch Affiliate or Twitch Partner, you also agree to specific terms including but not limited to no concurrent streaming on other platforms (you can still stream to YouTube or Facebook, but you cannot do so while also streaming to Twitch) and a minimum 24 hour delay between the ending of a stream and the posting of any material from that stream to another platform (so if your stream ends at 5 PM on Monday, you can’t post the archive to YouTube until 5 PM on Tuesday).

Each week we revisit a short skit from the main podcast, a year or more back. In this one, the Adventurer's Helpdesk fields a call from a party upset they never get to fight due to a certain someone going along with them.
This week, Morrus and Peter count down the top 10 favorite RPG podcasts in the Talk and Actual Play categories based on a poll of EN World readers! In the news, Chris Pine cast in the D&D movie, Vampire: The Masquerade Companion released, Dark Crystal RPG announced, pocket-sized Pathfinder 2e coming soon, and a lot more, plus a sketch about a game company with too many product announcements.

In the news, Rime of the Frostmaiden released for Dungeons & Dragons, previews of Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, Borderlands video game getting an RPG, RPG Superstar voting open, Level Up 5e playtest for the Fighter now live, and more! Plus Our Favorite Game in All the World and a brand new sketch featuring a suspiciously lucky player.

Each week we revisit a short skit from the main podcast, a year or more back. In this one, Dr. Blakemore, Monster Psychiatrist, assists a troll with some…performance issues.
This week, Morrus and Peter are taking the week off for the holidays, so enjoy this interview with Ryan Dancey from 2014. The original video description:
Acquiring TSR! The OGL! Releasing D&D 3E! Saving D&D! Indie games! MMOs! Pathfinder Online! This interview is over an hour long, but it is totally cram-packed with interesting stuff if the recent history of our hobby is of any interest to you.
In EN World's third Autograph Interview, Russ talks to Ryan Dancey about his early career, creating D&D 3E and the Open Gaming License, the gaming industry, and MMOs.
In the third of my EN World Autograph Sessions, I interview Ryan Dancey. Ryan is the man who brokered the acquisition of TSR by WotC, and who created the Open Gaming License - which is the license responsible for most third party D&D content for the Pathfinder RPG. He has also worked on the Eve Online MMO at CCP. We cover a wide range of topics throughout his career, from his start, through the TSR acquisition, the OGL, and on to MMOs and his current project, Pathfinder Online. Sometimes a controversial figure, nobody could say that Dancey has not had a significant impact on the RPG industry. This interview, coming in at over an hour in length, was an absolute pleasure to take part in.

Each week we revisit a short skit from the main podcast, a year or more back. In this one, a Dalek takes the Voight-Kampff test.
This week, Morrus and Peter take a spoiler-free look at the new Dungeons & Dragons adventure, Descent Into Avernus! In the news, new D&D spell effect minis from WizKids, Eberron DM screen and maps from Gale Force 9, a map of Middle Earth for The One Ring – Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game, a map of 2000AD’s Cursed Earth for Judge Dredd, and more! Plus a brand new sketch, Our Favorite Game in All the World, and several cameos from Morrus’ dog, Hudson!
Editor’s Note: I tried to cut down on the dog barking in the episode as much as possible, but Hudson would not be silenced and wanted his voice heard on the doggo perspective on Modiphius’s new license acquisitions. Just note that there is a lot of dog barking in the episode.

This week, Morrus and Peter talk about stealing rules! No, not rules for thieves, but different rules systems perfect for your home game that you can steal from other roleplaying games. In the news, EN World gets an upgrade, Wil Wheaton suing Geek & Sundry, map of Avernus from Dungeons & Dragons Descent into Avernus, Jason Bulmahn makes a minimalist Pathfinder character sheet, and more! Plus another round of Which Would You Rather and a brand new sketch!
Editor’s Note: Morrus has a new puppy named Hudson. He is a good boy, but he is also a puppy and thus chews on things. So there is a lot of random noise in this episode as Hudson chewed on XLR cables, microphone stands, plug leads, and even the leg of the table the microphones were on.

It's the finale! The last episode of the Judge Dredd & The Worlds of 2000 AD campaign. Running around town, the group heads back to the Bedlam Saloon looking for a way to buy the farm, unluckily one may have just showed up in town. But never fear, we'll have news of a new show by Encounter Role-play starting very soon!
This is just a quick promo we've put together for the podcast. You might hear it pop up on other podcasts from time to time! We figured our listeners might like a sneak peek.
This week, Morrus and Peter attempt to definitively answer the question of why D&D is so popular. In the news, our sketch becomes reality as Wizards of the Coast announces the announcement for the announcement for the new Dungeons & Dragons product, John Wick and 7th Sea are going to Chaosium, a D&D cookbook, and more! Plus our favorite game in all the world, a new sketch based on a classic gaming tale, and Patreon Asked Questions!

The Judge Dredd & The Worlds of 2000 AD actual play continues! Welfare checks in the mail, yet disappointing, the Damon's Rejects seek out other ways to earn some creds. Tucker gets an interesting opportunity to make some big money.
The cyberpunk actual play RPG continues! Trying to sell their recently stolen goods, the group heads into the extremely dangerous Junktown area of Crash City.
Morrus and Peter are still off for the holiday break, so here is an older interview Morrus did at UK Games Expo in 2014 with Monte Cook and Shanna Germain!
Monte Cook worked on D&D for TSR back in the 1990s, and continued working there as the company was bought by WotC, and then by Hasbro. He founded Malhavoc Press, and later co-founded Monte Cook Games with Shanna Germain.
This is a long-form interview, covering a wide range of subjects. Monte talks about working at WotC on D&D (twice!), and both he and Shanna talk about Monte Cook Games, creating Numenera, Kickstarters, and more.
Apologies for the audio quality; this was recorded live in a small room with a single microphone and a loud fan.
You can watch the original video version on our YouTube channel:

The Judge Dredd & The Worlds of 2000 AD campaign continues! Damon's Rejects recooperate from the encounter with Boris 37 and try to figure out a way to earn some more credits but learn of some really troubling news about Call-Me-Kenneth.
This week, Morrus and Peter count down the Top 11 Best Horror Tabletop RPGs as voted on by the readers of EN World. In the news, we’ve got two new Dungeon of the Mad Mage previews, the final total on the Judge Dredd & the Worlds of 2000 AD Kickstarter, Pathfinder 2nd Edition Playtest updates, the sale of tabletop gaming giant Asmodee, a rash of thefts at this year’s Essen Spiel, plus we play Our Favorite Game in All the World, and we have a brand new recording from the Adventurer’s Helpline!
And yes, we know we have two #9s and no #5. What can I say? We can't count backwards!

Talking of which, we discuss the new setting, along with rumours of Eberron's return. Note that this podcast was recorded shortly before those settings were announced on July 23rd, yet is remarkably accurate. We also cover the latest news and play our favourite game in all the world.

Jimmy finally remembers his taco order and we meet a new crew member of the Alliance of Solar Systems and Planetary Orbital Organizations Explorer, while rA9 teaches everyone about Math Rock. The weekly space opera hijincks continue in this hilarious live-play using the WOIN roleplaying game system.
Today we talk about the the size of the tabletop RPG market - with statistics and everything! - and Dungeons & Dragon's share of that market. We also reveal the things which caught our eye this week, incuding the Fall of Delta Green and Dusk City Outlaws; three white men talk about sexual harassment reports from Origins; we play our favourite game in all the world, stumble through a new sketch in which an old man tried to give a quest to a noble knight, and answer your GM questions. What could be better than that?

An aged maple can go a long way, even taking Commander Neil Beige to the land of potential ketoacidosis. Captain McQuaid learns a bit more about his XO and the crew learns about the safety series Neil has developed. The new season of Warped continues!
In our first 'real' episode we take a look at the two upcoming official D&D adventures - Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, and Dungeon of the Mad Mage. We cover the weekly RPG news, including the Diana Jones Award nominees and the Origins Award winners, play our favourite game in all the world, "Guess The Kickstarter From Just The Title", talk a little about Free RPG Day, answer your GM Advice queries, and introduce for your bafflement and mockery our take on Monty Python's "Cheese Shop" sketch. Plus a contest, where you might win a shiny copy of Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. Enjoy!

The third season of Warped, the official What's OLD is NEW (WOIN) actual-play livestream, launched this past weekend, and it's a great jumping on point for new listeners. The first season was a Traveller/Firefly type setting; the second was a Battlestar Galactica/Colonists type thing; and this new third season is a silly, comedic, Orville-esque setting aboard an exploration starship! Warning: mature language from the start! New storyline, new characters, new setting!
This is the Outtakes & Deleted Scenes for yesterday’s pilot episode of Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk. Enjoy! We're making this first one public on the main feed, but future Outtakes & Deleted Scenes will be for patrons only, so please do support Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk over on our Patreon! Thank you so much for supporting our podcast. Running a podcast isn't cheap, and your contribution is what makes this possible.
In our pilot episode, we stumble around trying to find our feet, and somehow our sound engineer Darryl manages to find some useable content and turn it into a podcast! In this episode we discuss what caught our eyes this week, Morrus has a go on Pathfinder 2nd edition at UK Games Expo, we play our world famous game "Guess what this Kickstarter is about by just hearing the title and nothing else", and cover some recent new releases. We also answer a couple of listener questions about GM screens and Session Zeros. Or Sessions Zero. One of those. Please support us on Patreon!

Coming soon to your favourite audio device is a new podcast all about the latest tabletop roleplaying game news! It won't necessarily be accurate, or informative, or even competent, but we will try to have fun! Join Morrus and Peter Coffey each week. You might learn something. But you probably won't.
