We haven’t done dreams in awhile, and I’m feeling the need right now…

A dream for Judd Karlman Richard Rogers Noah Jay-Bonn Tim B Fraser Simons YG Mitchell and David LaFreniere for being the first to brave Comic Strip AP with me. It’s a strange, somewhat intimidating idea, but I’m glad you guys were willing to be the first to give it a shot.

A dream for Oli Jeffery, my amazing and talented collaborator on Codex. The zine has wildly exceeded my expectations, and it seems to be getting better and better.

A dream for Ferrell Riley Kristen D Scott Owen and the rest of the Gauntlet Houston crew. You guys are doing such a fabulous job with the original Gauntlet, and while that delights me, it also makes me a tiny bit sad, because I wish I was still there with you guys.

A dream for the Keepers of the Gauntlet (our Patreon supporters). I can’t stress enough how much everything depended on a successful Patreon launch. I looked at the performance of our peers in this space, and for months the prospect of launching our own page filled me with dread. I was practically paralyzed with fear the morning I pressed the ‘Launch’ button. Thank you so much for coming through.

A dream for Daniel Lugo. You have rather admirably carved out your own space on Gauntlet Hangouts, and under circumstances that are pretty challenging. Also, you take the time to honestly assess your skills as a GM, and make adjustments where needed, which is a very wise and thoughtful thing to do. Bravo!

Ok, that’s what I’ve got for now. Do you have any dreams to pass out? If so, do so in the comments!

  1. I’ll second Daniel Lugo, I think your attitude towards GMing is really great and I hope your mid day PbtA is going well!

    I also want to thank you a lot too, Jason. You and the other Gauntlet members have been very inviting and I have great fun with all of you. You’ve really turned dungeon world and the fantasy setting that comes with it into something I look forward to immensely so thank you Jason Cordova !!

  3. A dream to Jason Cordova for being the most competitively awesome GM, he always ups his game and it makes me want to be better, too.

    A dream to David LaFreniere for pushing the envelope as a player, he surprises me so often when we play together.

    A dream to the Gauntlet UK crew! I got to play with Isa Wills Eadwin Tomlinson and Robert Ruthven today (also Joshua Faller) ! We played Masks, and were almost all magical heroes and it was so fun!

  5. Jason Cordova​ Thanks! I just got super excited because of this post! I appreciate the encouragement so much!

    Dreams to:

    Daniel Fowler​ and David LaFreniere​ for their DW advice

    Yoshi Creelman​ for being the politest person to ever communicate via text

    Jason Cordova​ Richard Rogers​ Lowell Francis​ for reading, grokking, and getting to the table a Variety of games.

    I’m consistently impressed at the spread of games on the calendar. I attempted learn a bunch of games well enough to MC earlier this year, and found it incredibly stressful to do so much in a short time.

    Timothy Bennett​ and Will P​ for letting me join pbp

    Saffire Rainbo​ for reppin the ladies for The Gauntlet. She’s committed to the cause of inclusivity in gaming more than anyone else I’ve spoken to personally.

  7. Dreams to:

    Jason Cordova and David LaFreniere for Discern Realities, which brought me to the Gauntlet.

    Daniel Lugo and Mischa for being the best Trill and Andorian a Klingon could ask for.

    Tor Droplets and Oli Jeffery for indulging me in conversations about gaming with kids, game design, and the world of dreams.

    Tim B and Noah and Gauntlet PDX. I wish life would allow me to join in the next session.

    And # design_feedback, because it is so much easier to boldly go in the company of those that have been there before.

  21. A big dream to Jason Cordova for all the work and gaming you do.

    A dream to Richard Rogers and River Williamson for being fans of 1%er and luring me into this place.

    And a dream to all the Gauntleteers for being awesome and making this such a great and welcoming community.

  23. A dream to Scott Owen, to Kristen D, and to parrish warren for helping support and run all of the GAU HOU; I wouldn’t have this warm and happy part of my life without you.

    A dream to Jason Cordova, David LaFreniere, Steve Mains, Daniel Fowler, Daniel Lewis, Jess Scott, Aaron Wilkinson, and everyone who I’ve gamed with face to face. You got me addicted to this kind of gaming, and I’ll never let go.

    Finally a dream to all you crazy people here on the G+ page, and in the Slack chat. No matter what craziness is going on in the world, bright or dark, I can always rely on you all for ideas, laughs, and enjoyment.

  25. It’s Monday evening and I’m still thinking about Saturday’s Gauntlet session of AW2e and smiling to myself: dreams, therefore, to David LaFreniere, Richard Rogers and Luke Green.
