Anything but Dnd

Anything but DnD is a casual actual play podcast where people gather to play ttrpgs that are NOT Dungeons and Dragons. We look to explore new systems, settings and playstyles. Some of us are family, old friends and new friends! Some have decades of experience playing many ttrpgs; some are new players who only have played DnD before. IMO, the stories presented in the games are pretty accurate to those you’d play in real life. We are not actors or professionals, just regular people enjoying a hobby. Join us as we play Vaesen, Brindlewood Bay, The One Ring and more to come.

We are playing the RPG Old Gods of Appalachia, based on the horror anthology podcast of the same name. It utilizes the Cypher system from Monte Cook Games.
At the table is Lisha as Ira the Shifty Sage who Knows the Unknowable, Zach as Floyd the Brash Sage who Cures What Ails Ya, James as W.E. the Superstitious Explorer who Cannot Escape the Darkness, and Jordan as Zoah the Clever Explorer who Calls Home the Hounds.
Many years ago, as children, a close friend, Ossie, died in a bizarre accident. With the aid of a strange entity, they all agreed to owe the entity if it brought Ossie back to life. Many years later, Ossie has died for a second time. And what was owed, is about to come due.
