Years ago, when gauntlet was a quietly prosperous indie group that had games at a bar and grill called Jax several nights a week in Houston, TX, we had a particularly slow night where just a few gamers showed. These few gamers decided they didn’t have enough to play what they had scheduled; there were only three of them if my memory serves me. A fun little game of Microscope would be just the thing to scratch the gaming itch. They decided on a particularly ridiculous premise for this universe of Microscope: what if the gauntlet ran the universe in the future? The game was great laughter about evil robots from the future warping in, Terminator -style, to assassinate the clone of Jason Cordova, the leader of this future. A religion had been formed named Realities Discerned that could answer all of the questions any of the faithful could imagine.

Now, years later, in the wake of GauntletCon, I remember these early days. A successful Discern Realities podcast, a multitude of folks who love the gauntlet and want to participate more… Keep an eye out for evil robots, will you?
