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.
