Eat the Reich uses very simple mechanics, a straightforward dice pool system where the players roll against the Storyteller to determine if they succeed at their actions, most of which are the violent murders of Nazis. It is largely Narrativist, encouraging players to get creative with their carnage, with little opportunity for Gamist builds or strategies. Eat the H.I.V.E. takes all of these elements and repurposes them into a far future setting which includes many fantasy elements like dwarves, orcs, and elves. Capitalist overlords hoard the wealth and profit from the labor of the poor, which is just the status quo of the world we live in, set in space.

Adaptations of Tabletop RPGs to other mediums include the video game Disco Elysium, The Expanse novel series, and many more. Magical Anarchy is an upcoming audio drama adaptation of The Seventh Age, a fantasy novel series adapted from a World of Darkness LARP Chronicle. These adaptations are wonderful for the TTRPG hobby, and for storytelling as a whole.

Metaplot in tabletop RPGs has proven to be among the most strangely divisive features any game line can offer. For a brief definition, in the context of RPGs Metaplot generally refers to a set of canon events that slowly reshape a fictional setting over time. Traditionally Metaplot was offered through a slow drip feed of information in supplemental books, though it was sometimes also updated in large chunks in new editions of core books. While Metaplot bore a poor reputation as of the mid 2000s, I think we need to reassess its role in the hobby. Honestly, I miss it.
