The Gauntlet presents: The Gaunt Marches
Conceived by +Spencer Paskett and featuring exciting GMs like Richard Ruane and Jim Crocker The Gaunt Marches is a living, breathing, ever changing hexcrawl with players across all time zones roaming the wilderness of the Gaunt Marches.
Decisions made by one group will permanently change the lands. Support the Croaking King and his rivals will take notice. Kill the Purple Worm rumored to terrorize The Alameen Fields and new goods might show up on the market of your hometown.
Player agency is paramount: You will hear numerous rumors and will be presented dozens of opportunities but you might ignore all of these and just pick a direction, loot ancient ruins, hunt wild animals to sell their furs and husks, start a business on your own or choose to live a life of crime and rob the bank of Eelton or the traders travelling through Kurgis Forest.

Registration for Freebooters on the Frontier: The Gaunt Marches is now open for non-patreons! https://plus.google.com/u/0/100166690471780012764/posts/DGNjnsbEWQJ
Freebooters on the Frontier is an old school inspired take on Dungeon World tailor made for explorations and dungeon crawls. Whereas DW is based on AD&D and later editions of the world most popular RPG, Freebooters goes back to 0e and occupies the fascinating space between OSR and PbtA games.
Note that if you already have a character from one of the other adventuring parties they will be temporarily transformed to fit the relevant Freebooters class but will be changed back to their original state after each session.
Horst Wurst How long will the sessions be? Getting up at 6am on a Sunday morning – I’m seriously thinking about it for FotF. But need to leave by 9am (pacific).

Chris Shorb This won’t be the last opportunity. I have good reasons to believe 2e will come out this summer: Hopefully we will be using the new ruleset for the next mini-campaign and at a Westcoast-friendlier time (8pm CET).

I would love to play in this! Freebooters On The Frontier seems like an interesting hybrid of PbtA & OSR (which is v much what I am looking for) and the setting is intriguing. But… I am in Jason’s Veil2020 game for this timeslot in Aug, so I’ll have to pass. Will you possibly be running more FotF / Gaunt Marches in the future?

Paul Staxx Spraget Hell yeah, I also might run a pick up game of FotF outside of the Gaunt Marches at Gauntlet Con depending on how many games I can sign up for.

Whaa–? This is such a cool idea! Will these sessions be recorded?
The current playtest version of Freebooters 2e is available here:
dropbox.com – Playtesting
The kickstarter fro 2e won’t happen until some time in 2019, but I now have incentive to tighten up 2e, posthaste!

Jason Lutes I will very likely record them (unless a player objects). Write like the wind!
