Folks, we are down to just 35 spots remaining in the $7 Patreon tier.
Folks, we are down to just 35 spots remaining in the $7 Patreon tier. If you have friends who have expressed an interest in gaming with the Gauntlet, you need to let them know that the best way to get involved is to grab one of these. New $7 spots will not be available again until July 1st (at the earliest–it may be later, depending on whether the calendar can support more players).
Don’t miss out!
It’s a brand new episode of +1 Forward for you!
It’s a brand new episode of +1 Forward for you! This one’s pretty special. The amazing Rach Shelkey has three micro interviews with folks she met at Metatopia who are developing new PbtA games. These games are all very exciting and have cool new additions to the Apocalypse Engine as well as super-interesting points-of-view.
The games are not publicly available (EDIT: Circles of Power is available as an ashcan on drive Thru RPG!), and this is the first time we’ve ever featured RPGs this early in development, so I’m very curious about your feedback about this episode.
This episode’s games are as follows:
Robot Cities from Melissa Lewis-Gentry
Circles of Power from Jason Pitre
Hydro Hackers from Phil Vecchione

We have had a terrific response so far with the new $7 reward tier. We have just 65 spots remaining and it’s not even 7 AM on the first day. Folks, if you intend to game with the Gauntlet in 2018, the window is closing pretty fast.

We are swinging open the doors on Gauntlet Hangouts! 100 more of the much-coveted $7 Patreon spots will become available at midnight. $7+ Patreon supporters get one week of RSVP priority for new games that hit the Gauntlet Hangouts calendar.
I have updated our website to include some basics about Gauntlet Hangouts. You can check that out here:
http://www.gauntlet-rpg.com/gauntlet-hangouts.html
I will also be monitoring this thread throughout the day. If you have questions about anything related to Gauntlet Hangouts (apart from running games, which is something we will address in more detail down the road), please post them in the comments. Technology requirements, how to access games, communicating with GMs, getting notified of new games, etc. I am here to answer your questions!
Gauntlet Hangouts is truly fabulous. If you have any desire to actually play roleplaying games next year (rather than just reading rulebooks and/or listening to actors play them), it is a great place to be. We treat our game calendar with a level of seriousness and rigor you won’t find anywhere else; our play culture is one of mutual admiration and care; and our sessions are just plain fun. Gauntlet Hangouts is the best gaming I have ever done; I have made so many friends, and have had so many exhilarating play moments, I sometimes have to pinch myself because I can’t believe I have this wildly special place available to me.
Big picture, your $7 Patreon pledge goes a long way toward supporting everything we do in the Gauntlet. We further reward that support with exclusive podcast content, PDF copies of Codex, and access to our Slack group. And here is a special note about our Slack group (which is its own wondrous thing): you have access to so much awesome stuff there. We organize pick-up games, work on special creative projects, and just generally support one another. You also have a huge amount of access to the podcast teams, which is something I know a lot of folks value.
Anyway, like I said, we’re swinging the doors open at midnight! We hope you’ll join us for an awesome 2018!
Hey everyone, I am in a bit of a pickle and I don’t know if anyone can help me out.
Hey everyone, I am in a bit of a pickle and I don’t know if anyone can help me out. I teach middle school and tomorrow some of my 8th graders are running campaigns for students and rye response has been overwhelming. We are looking for a bunch of level one pregen characters to save time on creation as the kids have less than an hour each week after school and they are chomping at the bit to get adventuring. The books they have are D&D 3.5 (inherited from older gamers) and we are having the hardest time trying to find prefilled out 3.5 sheets. There are TONS of 5e sheets for D&D encounters, but the students are unfamiliar with things like ‘streetwise’ … anyone have on their computer a bunch of old level one characters or know a place we can get some. I know there are a bunch of generators online but most are blocked by our schools webfilter (plus, trying to get a dozen kids to fill those out timely is a nightmare). And advice? First game is tomorrow at 3:00, so we will take anything we can get.

A friend of mine just posted this to Facebook, sounds pretty damn cool:
A friend of mine just posted this to Facebook, sounds pretty damn cool:
After years of working with tabletop RPGs and education, it was time to write a game that was not only entertaining but educational. A game I would want to use in my own classroom. @keenan_patrick and I have been working on a project we are proud to finally share! Ross Rifles is a tabletop RPG where players take on the role of a member of the Canadian Expeditionary Force in the First World War. Using the game, characters can experience the horrors of a new era of warfare, form bonds with their fellow soldiers, and discover a developing Canadian national identity.
This is only a mock-up of the cover. The game is currently ready to play, but we are taking our time to expand the content of the book, carefully playtest the game with the community, and connect with museums and veterans groups to ensure that we’ve respectfully and accurately depicted the lives of soldiers who fought in WWI.
I’ll be posting about the game periodically on this profile. If you’re interested in the project or trying the game, follow us @dundaswestgames and give us a like on Facebook at facebook.com/dundaswestgames!
