Shilling for the con. I looked over the listings and am pretty sad that there are no PbtA games running, nor any other story games! I see The Pathfinder Society has a large majority, and someone is even running GURPS!
Definitely check it out if you’re interested in running. There’s even an opportunity to earn a free con pass out of it. Plus, if we can make The Gauntlet a sponsor, it’d be a great way to promote the group.
And if not, there looks to be some fun games. Or at least some great stories about how terrible the games were!
Think they’d let us play Dungeon World at this place?

Take 1 hour of heavy metal music
Add 5 ounces of mid-1980s Satanic Panic
Toss in 13 grams of modern-day action
Stir in 666 miles of dungeon-crawl insanity
Stick a guitar-axe in there
Pour a sixer of cold beer on it
Serve inside a snare drum
And you get Lacerations of the Slain Priestess
Melting faces very soon!

Looks like there’s a G+ group for the PbtA superhero game Worlds In Peril!

The designers seem pretty open to suggestions for a better game, and their kickstarter had an early alpha doc released:

“So any time you see a player about to do something “Showing a lack of common sense; ill-considered; unwise” it is almost universally because they don’t understand the situation well enough to predict the consequences of their actions.”

Monk: How can we put this fire out?
Me: I dunno. Spout Lore about fire.
Monk: I got a ten.
Me: It occurs to you that pouring water on a fire puts it out.
Monk: Where can I get some water?
Me: Spout Lore about water.
Monk: I failed.
Me: You have no idea where water comes from.
Paladin: Can I use my move “I Am the Law” to convince the fire to go out?
Me: Sure. What do you say to the fire?
Paladin: Never mind.
Ranger: What if we poured lava on it?
Me: Spout Lore about lava.
Ranger: I got a 7.
Me: It occurs to you that lava is basically fire.
All the kids at once: argument
Me: While you guys are arguing, the fire spreads to a second tree.
Ranger: Fine. Let’s put water on it. Is there water in my Adventuring Gear? Adventuring Gear is a five-use item and you can mark off a use to say you have whatever minor useful thing you need at the moment.
Me: Yes. Yes, your adventuring gear has water in it. Mark off a use of your adventuring gear for water.
Ranger: I pour water on the fire.
Me: Congratulations, you have defeated the fire.
All the kids: yaaaaay
