Hey, Gauntleteers!

Are you going to Gen Con and want a free badge or at least a cool Magpie book? Awesome! We need Gms and you want cool things! This can work!

Magpie will be hosting its own selection of games at Gen Con and needs a few more volunteers to round out the awesome group we’ve got going. This is the last week to get your application in. So many great Gauntleteers are already joining us and I’d love to have more of you with us! This is such a fantastic community that I know will bring the very best play culture to Gen Con and that’s why, more than anything, I hope you join us for Gen Con and bring our safe, inclusive, and badass gaming to Gen Con.

When you run 2 sessions, you get a free book from the Magpie line up (your choice. When you run 4 session, you get a badge, a book, and a cool game accessory like dice or cards. When you run any session, I guarantee a high five/hug/subtle nod (your choice), I believe in you unicorn sticker, and my deepest thanks. Plus I’d get to see you and hang out with you!

Here’s the form. Please fill it out as soon as you can, as we have limited spaces and I want them to go to you folks! If you have questions, please feel free to ping me on here, on G-chat/hangouts, on Facebook, or on the slack. I’m around if you need me! Dreams to all of you wonderful folks!

Planning the next two episodes of GM masterclass! Bring out your GM questions! What can Jason Cordova and I help you with?

Hey Gauntleteers!

Now that you’ve had a chance to check out our first episode of GM Masterclass, it’s time to think of some new questions for us for the next couple episodes!

What are your GMing questions for Jason Cordova and I?

Hey Gauntleteers! Jason Cordova and I are going to be continuing to tackle GM-Fu questions. So, what are some troubleshooting GMing questions that you have? We’ll pick two and tackle them on an upcoming show!

Hey Gauntleteers! This discussion happening in the larger game community on what’s a real game vs what isn’t needs to go. Here’s why. As always, thank you for your support, thoughts, and amazing selves. <3

So apparently I should be posting my blog articles here. I’m resistant to, because I feel like it’s shameless self promotion. But honestly, the Gauntleteers have heavily helped me weed out my thoughts on my blog posts. I ask questions of this community constantly and read your answers and it really helps me think about how I want to approach what I’m writing.

So thank you, Gauntleteers. You’ve all been so amazing and helpful and are such an incredibly strong community. Here’s the most recent blog article based on the questions I asked days ago about Avenger characters. A big thanks to Jason Cordova for the trope recommendation.

Gamers! Talk to me about the revenge seeker/avenger trope in gaming. The one who’s lost their partner/child/sibling/etc and must now have that as their prime motivating force. Do you like it? Have you played it? What makes it interesting and what makes it boring?

So, gamers. Important question: When adventuring, do you desecrate tombs, graves, or bodies? Do you loot the dead?

Gauntleteers! How do you hold space in gaming? What does it look like? How do you facilitate it? What tips would you give to people? What is shitty space holding and what does it look like?
