So I realized that I didn’t have a PDF of The Final Girl which I will be running over hangouts.

So I realized that I didn’t have a PDF of The Final Girl which I will be running over hangouts. I decided to track a copy down, ultimately finding that they still sell the game in Italy (but not in the US). I crossed my fingers and hoped that the PDF would be in English. Of course, this was a foolish hope. Thanks to SCIENCE, I got the pdf translated. It. Is. Awesome. periodically throughout the text, there a small asides to explain to Italians what the text means when it refers to someone as a “jock” or “nerd” as these are not necessarily easily translated words. We also needed a nice way to describe what “Screwing” was. In an amazingly explicit explanation of what “screwing” is, I got to learn the Italian equivalent slang. Thank you SCIENCE and Italian PDF The Final Girl!

The Gauntlet Dallas first (unofficial) game!

The Gauntlet Dallas first (unofficial) game! We had a successful game of Jason Morningstar’s Fiasco, which is to say it was a mess! Mud wrestling Mormon wives, a dead middle manager who puts the pep in Pepsi, and a sweet supped up Mitsubishi Lancer!

Title

WITNESS ME!!

I spray chrome spray paint and a little bit (all of it) gets in my mouth. It tastes like hope and possibilities. I take a mighty leap off my hot dog cart, both hands clutching a fistful of sea monkeys. Before striking down the massive pigeon beneath me, a terrible wind surges forth and I look up, too late, and am swept away toward Dallas. Only a slippery residue and the faint smell of coconut remains. The vile, obscene pigeon gives mighty wheeze of indifference before it starts to lick up the zero-friction residue…

Should mechanics in games ever take you out of the fiction and make you think about the mechanics? Thoughts?

I wanted to say something that I feel does not get said enough; Jason, thank you for all you do.

I wanted to say something that I feel does not get said enough; Jason, thank you for all you do. I, like a good little gauntleteer, just finished listening to the podcast on building community; without you, this group would not be thriving like it is. In this benevolent dictatorship, we can trust our leader to know what is best for us, and now with the addition of the podcast, we can have his wisdom with us always. In many ways, this evolves our benevolent dictatorship into a theocracy…

In all seriousness, thank you Jason and the unnamed gauntlet organizers.
