Simplified Website
Something I have never been happy with is that it is very difficult to explain to people what, exactly, the Gauntlet even is. We don’t fit into any of the existing boxes when it comes to roleplaying games. I guess the most accurate thing to say is we are a community, but that word, while accurate, doesn’t even begin to fully capture everything the Gauntlet is.
Since we depend so heavily on word-of-mouth, I have simplified the website so when you need to explain to your friends what the Gauntlet is, all you have to do is direct them to gauntlet-rpg.com and the answer is perfectly clear. The re-designed home page is extremely simple: a logo, a short description, and some buttons. You are able to get an immediate sense of what the Gauntlet is, and are invited to explore each component part in more detail.
I have been fiddling with other apects of the site, too. Certain parts, like the Community Resources page, are still under construction, but take a look and I think you’ll find this is a much more friendly and usable site.
Seems like the right move. I like it.

Nice work! It is, indeed, now easier to understand the community at a glance.

I quickly learned something pretty substantial that I didn’t understand before. Thank you!

Like! Consider changing “Gauntlet Hangouts” To two entries; “Games” and “Google+ Community”. Gauntlet hangouts is how, not what. G+ is missing in general.
