Just finished what may be the final session of my Lacuna game, and wow, I think everyone had a great time.  It involved our agents breaking kneecaps to sacrifice a Personality in order to save their own skins, ramping off a 3 story parking garage to escape a world-ending rip in the fabric of all human consciousness, and two new players walking into a very fucked up situation, and handling it with all the grace and style possible.

And they became Wine Clearance.  Which does not exist.

Thanks to Daniel Lewis, Scott Owen, Kristen D, Steve Mains, new player Thomas, and thanks to Daniel Fowler for previous runs and becoming a lynchpin character for destroying the collective minds of all humanity.

Wine Clearance recognized.  You are authorized to view this information.

Thanks to Kristen D and Scott Owen for Tokaido, a game about making a leisurely journey and enjoying the good things in life, and to Steve Mains for Galaxy Trucker and Mysterium, where we solved a murder poorly, and were then died in space hauling cargo!

Thanks to everyone for another great evening of gaming! We had Scott Owen for running Dungeon World for our regular session, and for Russell Benner for running Masks of the Mummy King, a fun romp through a cursed tomb looking for fabulous treasures, while hiding our faces from each other.

Apologies for the lateness, but here are our pictures from the Last Wednesday Night Gauntlet Session for 2015!

“In storygames, characters get created frequently, off-the-cuff, over and over, and some players find this really challenging. Scylla, players get hung up on picking the right name, feel stuck, and you lose play time; Charybdis, they flub a great opportunity for characterisation, or come up with a tone-deaf name that disrupts the setting. It’s a regular enough problem that Fiasco author Jason Morningstar compiled a book, The Story Games Name Project, which is just a big compilation of name-lists organised by culture and context. Everyone picks from the same list, bam, the naming in your brand-new fantasy kingdom is now Maori. It’s appropriate technology: you get tonal consistency without reverting to a boring default.”
