Today on The Gauntlet Blog, I present the second in my Design Diary series for The Between. Here I am talking about how the game puts restrictions on discussing your character’s past and how that reinforces the design goals I have for the game.

This link also includes links to Session 4 and Session 5 of the long playtest I am currently running with Fraser Simons Agatha Tyler Lominack and Patrick Knowles.

The Future of Discern Realities Podcast

The Future of Discern Realities Podcast

The Future of Discern Realities Podcast

David LaFreniere and I have decided to retire Discern Realities. After nearly 70+ episodes, we’re not sure how much more we have to say about Dungeon World. The show has become something of a creative dead end, and that means it’s time to retire it.

We are super-grateful for all the fans who have supported the show these last couple of years. Together, we have been able to show thousands of people the awesome, exciting possibilities of Dungeon World and other Powered by the Apocalypse games.

So here is our game plan for retiring the show:

First, we’re going to take a couple of months off. We have a lot on our respective plates at the moment between Codex, Gauntlet Con, and other projects. DR will come back in late October with Episode 59 (hopefully featuring Danny Hood, who is owed a guest spot from winning the last contest). We’ll then spend November and December wrapping up the Basics series. We’ll end the show’s run with a big gala episode (Episode 60), which will air sometime in early January.

In the meantime, we hope all the DR fantasy fans who haven’t yet started listening to Fear of a Black Dragon will migrate over there (it’s a really good show, ya’ll). And, as always, +1 Forward and The Gauntlet Podcast are there for more general PbtA gameplay talk.

Thanks!

Monsterhearts: Memories of Mercy Falls

Monsterhearts: Memories of Mercy Falls

Monsterhearts: Memories of Mercy Falls

I am very pleased to announce that Mercy Falls is back!

Memories of Mercy Falls is a continuation of our popular Monsterhearts actual play series on Pocket-Sized Play. It is a direct sequel to Return to Mercy Falls, which came out last year.

This series is absolutely dynamite, probably one of my favorite I have ever had the pleasure of participating in. The roleplay is just jaw-droppingly good, and the story has all that Mercy Falls drama you know and love.

This first episode is particularly interesting, because it represents a “reset” on the story; for reasons that will be explained, everything is just kind of back to normal in Mercy Falls, and Memories is much more concerned with mundane high school bullshit than the other series. But trust: that good dark shit is still there, just under the surface.

Thanks to the fantastic players: Fraser Simons Lowell Francis Phillip Wessels and Kevthulhu. And extra thanks to Fraser for producing the show!

ALSO: We’re releasing one episode per week in the PSP feed, but you can get the ENTIRE SERIES if you’re a $2+ supporter of our Patreon: patreon.com/gauntlet
