Hello
Long time lurker and podcast binger.
Just checking in to see if there are many if any gauntleteers are based in New Zealand or nearby time zones?
Have been keen to try gaming in an online format as in person has its own issues locally.
Cheers

Kiwi here ๐ … and there are a bunch of other New Zealand game designers who would be Gauntlet-adjacent, such as Michael Sands, Andy Millar and Morgan Davie.

I created a time-zone map for The Gauntlet for the same reason. Check it out at timezone.io – Timezone.io – Join The Gauntlet on Timezone.io!

Don’t forget to put your general location (i.e., city) on this map, Gauntleteers! Keep it general for safety reasons. Also, Christian Svalanderโ, could you provide that link for the timezone site again to help our new players see where everyone is?

Sure, Christo Meid, Jason bumped the other day but I guess it disappeared. You like a repost on the Gauntlet community page?

Our Aussie co-hort is really active on our Slack group. If you’ve got $6 lying around, I highly recommend that tier on our Patreon.

Ellen Saxon Matt is being coy. He somehow manages to run Ettin Con from under a pile of children.
Having a couple of my own, I don’t get many opportunities to game online. But I am also local to the con, and will be there as per usual!

My older children staff the thing, and my younger ones run demos, that certainly helps. It will be great to see a Gauntlet presence next year!

So essentially, you rear children to support your gaming addiction. Nice.
I don’t know how you manage to do anything with kids. Good work.
Looking forward to ettin con and meeting all you gorgeous nerds!

All this talk of children gaming makes me think you should learn to run Golden Sky Stories for Ettin Con Ellen Saxon . Wink wink nudge nudge. For big kids too of course…

PS: The last thing I want to do is derail this thread or the community, so I’d like to thank Jeremy Gray for his tolerance of the IRL part of this discussion in his OP about online play.

(And to round things off, if any Gauntleteer in our timezone wants to attend our physical convention via Hangouts/Roll20 in the future, we are looking into viable data solutions within reach of our council venues and meagre budget. Suggestions welcome.)

Aussie represent. I’m probably going to be prompting more pick up stuff as I get bored in uni holidays. They’ve mostly happened during conversations on slack.
Also I’m a part of the Gauntlet Con impromptu detachment to Ettin Con next year. I’m running Swords without Master and Lu Quadeโ is running something about dungeons and elves. Come join us. It’ll be wild.

“Dude, you went all the way to Australia for a con?”
“You have no idea how brilliant the players are. In 4 hours of gaming with them I lived, loved, cried my heart out, and died. Then I did it 6 more times!!! It was totally with it.”

Lu Quade In the spirit of abbreviating Alliterations & Ampersands, plus STRINE, I think we refer to Forests & Faeries as “Effin’ Eff”, mate.
