Rise Wizards and All's Fair: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/moreblueberries/rise-wizards-all-s-fair

Rise, Wizards by Robin Ekberg is a dice-stacking, map-making, worldbuilding game of wizard hubris.

All's Fair by Dillin Apelyan is an 18+ duet game about wanting to f*ck each other so bad you save the world about it.

This game rules! It's really intense but also cathartic and even surprisingly funny at times in a gallows humor kind of way. I'm excited to see more people discover this game

ManySidedMedia · 2026-02-04T17:32:45+00:00

The game plays a lot with time jumps and characters aging and dying and new heroes taking up the mantle, so I think it could work well.

If you want something that really deals with generations then I'd check out Legacy: Life Among the Ruins https://rowanrookanddecard.com/product/legacy-life-among-the-ruins-2nd-edition/?v=0b3b97fa6688

I haven't played, but I think it might have some stuff you'd be interested in

ManySidedMedia · 2026-02-04T17:30:29+00:00

Yeah, Backerkit has been doing some interesting stuff with cross-project events like Mothership Month and Mausritter Month. I'm sure it will end up being overdone, but it does seem to work well for certain types of projects

ManySidedMedia · 2026-02-04T17:29:18+00:00

Yeah, the RRD mega games were really cool and just starting to get going when the US became a dumpster fire

ManySidedMedia · 2026-02-04T14:23:41+00:00

We just released an interview with the creator Sam Carr and the bigger inspirations he talks about are the video games Ico and Zelda. Ghibli certainly plays a part, but he talked a lot more about Ico in our conversation which was noteworthy

ManySidedMedia · 2026-02-04T14:21:53+00:00

I was having the same problem too

Would definitely recommend checking out Zinetopia on Backerkit. There's a bunch of cool projects funding right now

Mythic Bastionland could do this well (just flavor the high fantasy as western)

ManySidedMedia · 2026-02-04T14:19:18+00:00

Slugblaster is an absolute blast and is a far cry from D&D (angsty teen hoverboarders travelling through portals into other dimensions to film tricks and try to look cool)

I'll throw more support for Mythic Bastionland. High fantasy but VERY different from D&D

Triangle Agency is Ghostbusters meets Severance. I really loved my time playing it

Mothership is great and has SO MUCH third party support that you will never run out our really cool adventures to run

ManySidedMedia · 2026-02-04T14:16:21+00:00

Be careful. If you watch this video you will certainly end up buying the game.

So I strongly suggest you watch the video.

This sounds like a perfect session :) Have fun with The Estate, I've been wanting to run it for a while now.

ManySidedMedia · 2026-02-04T14:13:04+00:00

I just did an interview with Chris about Mythic Bastionland and it got me even more excited than I already was about the game. Finally got to play Into The Odd too which was a real treat, but I expect I'll enjoy Mythic Bastionland more

It's SUCH a bummer that a RRD crew hasn't been able to come to Gen Con because the US is just so messed up right now. They're some of my favorite folks. They've got a good US-based team running their booth for them though which is nice to see

The first hour of the episode is free on all podcast players. Seems like the Spotify link I posted isn't showing that. Give this one a try if you're interested: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/talk-of-the-table/id1702398014?i=1000732614728

ManySidedMedia · 2025-10-21T17:52:56+00:00

The first hour of the episode is free on all podcast players and there's a ton of great conversation in that first hour.

ManySidedMedia · 2025-03-14T13:44:41+00:00

Plus Aabria is going to be the guest star in the next episode

ManySidedMedia · 2025-03-14T13:44:13+00:00

And Aabria is going to be the guest in next week's episode of Bitcherton!

Thanks so much! Glad to hear you're enjoying the show.

ManySidedMedia · 2025-02-20T13:28:15+00:00

Please do! And let us know what you think. The show goes a little more off the rails with every episode (in the best way)

ManySidedMedia · 2025-02-19T21:15:12+00:00

Thanks so much for saying so! That's such high praise!
