The Burning Wheel keeps on burning!
The Burning Wheel keeps on burning!
This session run by Judd Karlman has a sexy little Duel of Wits that sneaks up on us. It’s a solid talky session that sets up our new agenda!
I love how Judd checks in as a GM. He’s strong, but fair. Also, some solid voice work for Mordenkainen.

I’m writing a short piece for the Discern Realities Annual about my Labyrinth Move, which I know has been adapted by a number of people. If you have ever done an adaptation of it, would you mind posting the text here in a comment? Thanks!
Episode 49 of Discern Realities is here!
Episode 49 of Discern Realities is here! This one features reflections on a long-running Anglekite campaign, a favorite technique David and I use to abstract a character’s special knowledge, three magic swords, the bleak journey of St. Evelyn the White, and more!

Its another fine day in the Gauntlet Community, and its business as usual.
Its another fine day in the Gauntlet Community, and its business as usual. The latest Codex released, as its the first of the month. The Gauntlet Podcast 110 hit my stream. I sent my ritualistic message to Jason to let him know the next episode of DR is ready for quality check: “DR Ep 49 is in the Discern Realities folder on Dropbox.” I’m prepping for a great first session of Ray’s dragon hoard from his Plundergrounds zine.
Then I realized, this isn’t just an ordinary day. This is the 12 issue of Codex, which means its been a full year since we started that project. I can’t believe how quickly it went by. The Gauntlet has grown so much in the past year. I’ve met so many amazing people with the Gauntlet this year. I’ve run my first long campaign for the Gauntlet through the Anglekite setting book for Dungeon World Wednesdays. I’ve seen our calendar nearly double in scope as more people run games.
And I am thankful. I love this group. I have grown so much as a player from engaging with this group. I have grown so much as a storyteller from engaging with this group. I have grown so much as a person by engaging with this group. I cannot wait for what is to come next in the future, but I wanted to take a minute to give out some dreams, take a deep breath, and reflect a bit on all that we have done.
Dreams for all listed below!
Daniel Lewis who taught many story games, prepared many sheets for online play, and personally taught me to edit audio, so I could be the editor for Discern Realities.
Oli Jeffery for blowing my mind each time I get to see the advanced copies of Codex.
A dream for every contributing author of Codex, for making me excited to do the editing work each month.
A dream to the community for engaging in such a flurry of posts every time a Miscellany gets posted for contributions.
Richard Rogers who has allowed me to play some of the most dramatic characters in all the gaming I have done, and who allowed Bones to be a true badass.
josh gary who made it to every single Anglekite game I’ve run.
Michael G. Barford who is a fantastic partner for a secret Gauntlet Project code name: Killer-Spectre.
Gerrit Reininghaus who challenged my perception of Dungeon World in new ways with his character creations.
Michael X. Heiligenstein for his character who brought about the apocalypse in Angelkite, but introduced us all to his delightful little bird Mort in the process.
Yoshi Creelman who I always enjoy playing with and never get to see enough of.
Seraphina Ferraro for making DexCon unforgettable.
And finally Jason Cordova, without whom none of this would be possible. Here’s to another fantastic year!

Due to driving a bit more as well as an embarrassingly simple technology, I’ve been able to listen to the Discern Realities podcast again after missing it a while since late last year. I’ll start listening to the other podcasts more as well.
It’s so great listening to the stuff and catching up again! And really fun seeing name drops and thinking “Hey I’ve seen that person’s name!”
A Super-Sized Gauntlet for y’all!
A Super-Sized Gauntlet for y’all! Some really great conversation about how we play games, and chat about a hack (Lowell Francis’s Changleling the Lost via PbtA), a game in playtest (Poutine by Adam Robichaud) and an oldie… but a goodie? (Witchquest)
Don’t forget about Gauntlet Con!!!!

We need feedback!
We need volunteers!
Even if you don’t want to run something, we can use your help. We need to staff a help desk during the entire con (so we need lots of folks to staff across different shifts), and I’d love to have some Fun Ambassadors, too!

Listening to another podcast – Spellburn for the Dungeon Crawl Classic folks – and guest Edgar Johnson talks briefly about also running Spirit of 77, a PbtA game, and what he sees as the similarity between OSR and Story Gaming play. As far as I recall, the hosts of Spellburn have shown a lot of positivity towards the greater gaming community, and – except for a bunch of pokes at Pathfinder – don’t promote that “us vs them” mentality you get from some more trad sections of the OSR.
I’m not sure if Dungeon Crawl Classics is that familiar to many Gauntleteers. It is sort of like old Basic D&D plus a load of Gonzo and a lot of Appendix N fiction (mostly with an effort to filter out the more problematic parts, but sometimes just hitting them with a club and moving on.)
I just find it nice when the separate tribes of gamers talk nice about each other.
