Imagine that...some RPGs become board games, but this reverse transition happens less frequently. Cool cool

Maximum apocalypse was originally a board game. I cannot recommend it enough.
Thank you. I bought this TTRPG because I have a nice girl with Autism who really wanted to play D&D. I thought Root would be better for her (she also loved cute animals). This makes it a lot easier to figure out how to play so I can set it up quicker for her.

Is she cute? You should date her.
I Love the art in this game. So children's story time feeling. Reminds me of Charlie Brown or other Saturday mourning cartoons, also Mouse Guards. Very cool.

Play the boardgame it's based on. It looks cute and cuddly but it's one of the meanest most cut throat games you'll ever play lol
Oh I'm so glad you covered this one. I wanted to see more about it before investing.
Thanks for making a great video! I'm looking forward to getting this game and sharing it with my granddaughter. The rules and the setting look easy to grasp and a lot of fun. Thanks again! Have a wonderful holiday season everyone!!! ^_^
We are excited to try this out during Free RPG Day
Now I want to see some gameplay. 😃

They have an actual play that is really good! 😀
Definitely want to give this a shot.
For anyone else wondering, it is actually beavers, not otters, that are known for building wooden structures in the water.
Wow? I just received my copy and Becca has a playthrough?! This is amazing :D
Looks very interesting.
Powered by the apocalypse is my favorite!
Is there a reference sheet for this game, haven't been able to find one.
A friend of mine is thinking of dming this. It looks interesting.
that is right! :D
a fair tutorial 8/10
How would this be for 8 year olds? The subsystems seem a little complex compared to DnD or Tinyd6

I tried running it today for my 7 and 9 year old. So 8 on average. :-) I'm happy to say they managed it pretty quickly. Full disclosure: I have the KS edition which included the equipment deck, making the equipment and its moves very tangible.

I'd recomend the equipment deck too! The equipment building system is really cool and versatile but can be confusing at first. Also wanted to point out that although the art is cute there are grittier moves like murder and political themes so just be aware of that.
Well dang, now I might need to check this out. Been looking for a reason to get away from Pathfinder
Niceeeee
Cute adventures of animals, powered by the apocalypse!
She an absolute baddie tho
This is such an odd game. Players play furry & feathery animals with vague notions of money & distances, so it seems like a game for kids. And yet “move” actions are numerous and granular, & the setting is highly political.

yeah the board game for Root has the same art style and theme but is a pretty aggressive war game really.
