Once our five-session campaign of Grim World has ended, the Gauntlet Anthology will be ending as a regular, weekly occurrence. Beginning in February, Fridays will no longer have a dedicated purpose. The nature of the activities scheduled on Fridays may change from week-to-week. There might be multi-session length games, one-shots, movie/game night combos, stunt scheduling, etc. We may occasionally play a game in which we re-visit the Anthology world (including on other days of the week) but it will not be as frequent.
I was thinking of doing a poll to see what kinds of things players would like to do on Fridays, but then I remembered that’s silly – the Gauntlet is not a democracy. Trust that whatever I schedule on a given Friday will be terrific fun and you will regret missing it.
The times, they are a changing

Further thoughts: There are some people in the Gauntlet who have a slightly more traditional bent when it comes to roleplaying games. The Friday Anthology was the closest thing to a trad RPG experience we offered to those players.
Well, we’re not offering it anymore. Those people should take a hard look at the events that are coming-up on Fridays and ask themselves: “Is this a game or activity I am genuinely interested in participating in?” I would have everyone at the gaming table if I could, but since I can’t, I’d prefer to have the people who are really committed to the spirit of what we’re doing on any given week.

So, it was pointed out to me that my previous comment comes off as very negative about the players who were coming to the Friday games. Upon rereading my comment, I have to agree. In fact, I have absolutely loved the Anthology games, and the people who come to those games have provided me with some of my favorite game experiences of the last few years. What I meant to say was that the Friday games will be changing to something a little bit different than what people have been accustomed to, and if someone is not into it, I won’t have any hard feelings if they decide to do something else. Anyway, apologies for sounding like a jerk.
