Episode 31 of The Gauntlet Podcast is out today! In this one, we are joined by guest co-host Epidiah Ravachol. You will know Eppy as the designer of games like Dread and Swords Without Master, and the publisher of the swords & sorcery magazine Worlds Without Master.

And thanks to Richard Rogers for the terrific edit this week!

What is “IP” in the context you were speaking of Jason? It’s a sign I’ve been in tech for too long when all I can think of is Internet Protocol and switches

Thanks for putting Ten Candles on my radar. Hadn’t heard of it before. Would love to see a full episode on rituals in games! They have a particular quality that, when used well, really draws you in.

I wish I could pick a favorite, but between Eppy’s Wolves Without Hair hack and having Golden Sky Stories make an appearance and seeing those eidolons…yeah, hard to pick a best part. It was all fantastic.

Listening to this now. I have to keep backing up because I’m getting distracted by ideas I have for The Perfected City. For one thing, I’m considering writing the world flavor text as though it’s a pamphlet for new arrivals to the city. That’ll magnify the tone a thousand fold.
