Hello Gauntlet, I’m finally running a Kickstarter project that may interest this community. I proceed here mindful of Jason Cordova’s recent note about posting to the community. I’ve run a lot of KS projects and don’t post about them here because I don’t want to spam the community, but this one aligns nicely.
Prince Valiant The Storytelling Game by Greg Stafford is worthy on its own merits as an early RPG that features elements valued among Gauntlet members, but an upcoming stretch goal offers new material from a host of designers this community holds in high regard. Indeed, I first heard of some of these designers from the Gauntlet Podcast.
The project’s $40k stretch goal will add scenarios by designers such as: Bret Gillan, Meguey Baker, Dev Purkayastha, Sage LaTorra, Epidiah Ravachol, Julia Ellingboe, and Emily Care Boss. Other great designers like John Harper are already included.
I hope you’ll share the project with like-minded gamers. Not only am I delighted to have these designers involved in my project, but I also believe it’s an opportunity to introduce their work to gamers who might not otherwise learn about games like Shooting the Moon, The Final Girl, or Psi*Run.

I am definitely a lot more excited for this project with these indie game designers attached. In a lot of ways PV is a grandfather of a lot of indie game design. To see what some amazing creative types do with PV now is really, really exciting to me.
Also really agree with what Emily wrote on Twitter: https://twitter.com/emilycare/status/767768930907725825 (she didn’t subtweet so just go to her main page and read)

Thanks for the support. We cleared that stretch goal last night so the new book will include scenarios from all those indie designers.

That’s awesome, Stewart Wieck! I’m glad we could help.

I was also on the fence – I loved the Prince Valiant comics as a kid but I was concerned the game might not have aged well. The attached indie names made me go all in.
