With Gauntlet Con less than a week away, I would like to propose a way to draw attention to the last open slots: Adopt a Gauntlet Con game.
The game I like to adopt is Troika! run by Sherman S.
Troika! is a weird OSR type game where the old school is not D&D but Advanced Fighting Fantasy that uses various combination of d6s (d3, d66, d666) as the resolution mechanism. The game is probably best known for its quirky initiative system: Every PC gets two tokens, all monsters get tokens and there is an end of the round token as well. Tokens are pulled out from the Bag until the end of round token is drawn, so a sequence could be: Monster, Monster, End of Round (which would suck very much) or Player A, Player A, Player C, Monster, End of Round etc. Even if you are not a fan of initiative systems you just have to admire the chaos and unpredictability of the concept.
What really attracts me to the system, though, is the hilarious character backgrounds and the setting they imply: Don’t you want to play a Parchment Witch who should stay away from open fire, a Poorly Made Dwarf who non-Dwarfs will just mistake for the real deal or a Monkeymonger with d6 edible monkeys and a bag full of monkey treats? Of course you do!
