I will be running a second playtest of my “sci-fi episodic” World of Dungeons-ish hack late night Friday evening (9/30) and I still have one or two spots open. Would any of you like to participate?
Time:
11am-1am US PST (Friday night/Saturday morning)
6am-8am GMT (Saturday morning)
Since this isn’t Gauntlet exclusive, I’ll be running it over roll20 (free) and Teamspeak 3 (free).
Send me a chat or post below if you are interested and I’ll send you the 5 page Alpha v0.2.
Live long and prosper!
I want to say thank you to everyone who has thus far participated in any of my games, Mid-Day or on Saturday.
I want to say thank you to everyone who has thus far participated in any of my games, Mid-Day or on Saturday. It’s really great how the community has given me a chance to GM and be involved in the goings-on. Can’t thank you enough.
Now, I want to throw a quick poll on here to see if I can try and get a better sense of how to best plan for the mid-day games in the future.
For a reference, the time slot is:
9:00AM-1:00 PM PST
11:00AM-3:00PM CST
5:00PM-9:00PM GMT
If you are sometimes or always available in the mid-day time slot, which day of the week works best/most consistently? Thanks for the feedback!

Been browsing Amazon, I’d like to find some good solid tokens as “fanmail” for when I’m playing and want to give a small note to someone that I enjoyed their scene.. I’ve been using these hard plastic tokens that normally are parking chips at work, but I have only 9 of them.
What do you like to use as tokens for your games? Do you prefer something of note, or something subtle?

Hi folks, a group of us Gauntlet members across the pond have had a Slack channel for a little while and would love for other community members to join. It’s primarily focused on Gauntlet UK games, where we can have pre game chats and post game discussions, as well as a whole host of other game related debates.
Anyone who’s up for playing during GMT or who wants a general chinwag should come along to gauntlet-uk.slack.com. I think Slack works on email invites only, so drop me a hangout if you fancy joining.
A dream for David LaFreniere for making a case for bards (Jason Cordova) in our Dungeon World game last night.
A dream for David LaFreniere for making a case for bards (Jason Cordova) in our Dungeon World game last night. David came up with two (two!) bawdy tavern songs on the spur of the moment that were absolutely hilarious. I sincerely hope that “The Barbarian and the Fish” finds its way into the greater Gauntlet Dungeon World canon.
Barrel of Unremarkable Magic Swords
Barrel of Unremarkable Magic Swords
This barrel of old and tarnished swords sits almost forgotten in the back of the Wizard’s shop. While he assures you that everything in his inventory is enchanted, these items are mere trinkets. They were probably included in a deal along with something much more interesting. He gave up on them after study failed to produce anything notable. As he tries to lead you away one of the swords catches your interest. Describe its appearance and why you took an interest in it. The sword starts with 3 hold. Each time you spout lore on it subtract the hold from your total. On a hit remove one hold. When You remove the final hold, treat the result as a 12+. In addition to the GM’s response, describe the swords true origins and its connection to you. Other characters automatically fail spout lore checks on this item.

I’d like to add a section of advice to GMs on resolving 7-9 results to the World of Dungeons space opera hack I’m working on. This is a rough draft, but this is one of the things I struggle with. Any thoughts?
Resolving 7-9 Results: “A total of 7-9 is a partial success; you do it, but there’s some cost, compromise, retribution, minor harm, etc.” One of the challenges you face as GM is to resolve the frequent 7-9 partial success results. As a general matter, you will find this to be much easier if you make the risk absolutely clear before the roll. On a 7-9, the PC succeeds in accomplishing her goal, but it isn’t perfect. Here are some possible ways to address this result:
1) Announce a soft move as the cost of the success and allow the PC to decide whether it is worth it: “You can avoid the weapons fire, but only if you drift dangerously close to that anomaly. Do you do it?”
2) Ask the PC to describe the unintended consequences: “You repair the shield system, but your console starts flashing red. That can’t be good. What just happened?”
3) The clearly identified risk comes to pass, but it isn’t as bad as expected. “The group of aliens don’t seem fully convinced. They stop firing, but their weapons are still at the ready.”
4) They get some of what they want, but not all of it: “You definitely get some life signs, but you have no way of knowing how many.”
