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.
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.
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!!! ^_^
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.
For RPGs, it would be nice to know player counts. Board games are good about displaying player counts but RPGs usually leave it out for some reason - even though not every RPG handles solo, or infinite players.
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.

Is she cute? You should date her.
@@StudioUAC What the fuck?
Imagine that...some RPGs become board games, but this reverse transition happens less frequently. Cool cool
Well chainmail became d&d ... sort of
Maximum apocalypse was originally a board game. I cannot recommend it enough.

I get good Redwall vibes 🥰
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
Art: children story time
Setting and lore: game of thrones
Oh I'm so glad you covered this one. I wanted to see more about it before investing.

We are excited to try this out during Free RPG Day
Powered by the apocalypse is my favorite!
Definitely want to give this a shot.
Now I want to see some gameplay. 😃
Funny you should say that..
They have an actual play that is really good! 😀
Wow? I just received my copy and Becca has a playthrough?! This is amazing :D
For anyone else wondering, it is actually beavers, not otters, that are known for building wooden structures in the water.
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.
Looks very interesting.
How would this be for 8 year olds?
The subsystems seem a little complex compared to DnD or Tinyd6

that is right! :D
a fair tutorial 8/10
Well dang, now I might need to check this out. Been looking for a reason to get away from Pathfinder
Niceeeee
The root rpg assumes otters can construct elaborate wooden based structures?! The root rpg buffed otters and nerfed beavers 😂 otters officially OP
She an absolute baddie tho
The marquisse? Pass.

yeah the board game for Root has the same art style and theme but is a pretty aggressive war game really.
🤷♂️ adults like cute things too
Lame. I'll stick to the boardgame
