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.

The game also features cooking and brewing mini games, a hope/despair mechanic, and has simple journey rules to make travel part of the game.

143 Branch Riders TTRPG | action, investigation, and creative play
Branch Riders is an easy to play narrative driven role playing game built on the concepts of action, investigation, and creative play. 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. Find out more as we speak to Jack Berkenstock and Doug Hagler on this weeks episode of Not DnD. kickstarter.com/projects/tbgjack/branch-riders-tabletop-role-playing-game https://discord.com/channels/478634844532768768/985969962969616384
