Friday Dreams
I have rolled 2d6 + CHA and the result was ‘7,’ so that’s seven dreams to pass out this week…
A dream to Gerrit Reininghaus for his portrayal of Julia the Wyrm in Mercy Falls ’83, a fascinating character who is managing to match (and even surpass) my legendary Mercy Falls rogues gallery in pure villainy.
Another Mercy Falls ’83 dream to Philipp Neitzel, who let me go there with his Hollow who suffers from dysphoria. Led to one of the most bleedy scenes for me in a long time.
A dream to Kate Bullock River Williamson Richard Ruane Maria Rivera and Lauren McManamon, who are already ankle deep in planning Gauntlet Con 2018, even though it is still eight months away!
A dream to the game runners on Gauntlet Hangouts! That space is no longer the private playground of Rich, Lowell, and I, which makes me very, very happy.
A dream to Rob Abrazado, who does that wonderful, difficult-to-summarize, but absolutely necessary community cheerleading that makes the Gauntlet possible.
A dream to our game designer Patrons: Phillip Wessels Ray Otus Michael X. Heiligenstein and Fraser Simons. Their monetary pledges are obviously helpful, but more important: they let me apply my very unique experience in this hobby to their creative projects, and that is personally satisfying for me.
Do you have dreams to give out this week? Post them in the comments (non-Gauntlet related dreams are totally fine!)
A dream to Daniel Fowler for dealing with our table schenanigans, and for his awesome work creating 3D printed RPG tools that make the games breath life

A dream to +Gerrit Reininghaus for the impromptu organization of a CYOA game during the week; this was a lot of fun!
A dream to +Matthew Doughty for engaging in a one-on-one scene with character vulnerability with a new player like me!

A dream right back at you Jason Cordova, same reason.
Also a dream for Lauren McManamon for having an interesting late night chat and indulging my happiness about artwork.
A dream for Gerrit Reininghaus also, for starting the great thread of pictures from when we were young.

Dreams for Lu Quade, Ellen Saxon Lauren McManamon and Sophie Middis for your “if we build it” attitude. The ASPAC crew, our EttinCon adventures to come, the love and safety you extend to each other… You’ve all made a lot of that, not just maintained and excelled, but BUILT.
Your willingness to see something that was missing and put in the work to create it has changed my life. And made something very special to me.
(and Jason Cordova, a big squishy cuddly dream for you for all of the above too. I cannot express my appreciation for the work you put in to make… All of this.)

A dream for Robert Bullen, currently delving through 2 hours (!) of Alford looking for the story amongst me saying “OK, so, cool”, and “no, that was shit, lemme do that bit again.”

Dreams to the Slack for the support, advice, and discussions! Not being able to play many games with The Gauntlet this month has been a huge bummer but it has been great being able to stay in touch.

Jason Cordova We had some major technical issues on Monday. Mics went down, internet went down, whole computers went down! What should have taken 30 minutes took two hours! You wouldn’t believe.

Dreams to my playtesters for Atitlan Riders. I had a really good time with you. I don’t tag you individually since I already wrote a separate post to you.
Dreams to Tyler Lominack, Philipp Neitzel, Patrick Knowles and Lauren McManamon for the exchanges around and beyond gaming together.
Dreams to Fraser Simons, Lowell Francis, Jason Cordova and David LaFreniere who entertain my house work with the We Hunt The Keepers every day.
