Age of Ravens: 21 Seas & Lazy Hacking
Age of Ravens: 21 Seas & Lazy Hacking
Today on the Gauntlet Blog I talk a little about 7th Sea: what I dig, what doesn’t work for me, and some thoughts on lazy, lazy hacking to get a version I’d actually be decent at running.

City of Gauntlets
We did a Microscope session to craft a high fantasy urban landscape (which we may return to later). Recent releases inspired me: Almbrecht After Dark, Spire, Streets of Avalon, and Umberwell. I’ve posted about it at the @GauntletRPG blog

History of Licensed RPGs (Part IV 1990-92)
I’ve posted the next installment in my lists on The Gauntlet blog. I continue to be surprised at the # of licensed games from this era- and the # of second bites at the apple.
We had our second session of Cryptomancer on Sunday.
We had our second session of Cryptomancer on Sunday. It was absolutely my jam: info gathering, plotting, problem solving, new complications. Really fun. This particular scenario’s what I call a Conspiracy Sandbox. I wrote up a post explaining what that means: https://www.gauntlet-rpg.com/blog/age-of-ravens-conspiracy-sandbox

Google Is Rushing Things On The Shut Down AGAIN.
“This will be a progressive shutdown beginning in late January, with web and mobile app integrations exhibiting intermittent failures as early as January 28, 2019.

On March 7, 2019, Google+ integrations for web and mobile apps will stop functioning. Specifically:
Web integrations, such as Plugins and Interactive Posts, will stop serving. This has the potential to affect website layouts and/or functionality if no action is taken by website owners.

Age of Ravens: 2019 RPG Wishlist
I realized I had to do my RPG Wishlist early this year. Since Gauntlet events open two months out, we’re already planning 2019 games. My January sessions include Threadbare, Hearts of Wulin, and Masks. But what about the rest of 2019?

I present this list in no particular order. It will undoubtedly change in the next few weeks.
If you have Wishlist rpgs for 2019, tell me!!!
AGE OF RAVENS: CONCRETE ICONS
AGE OF RAVENS: CONCRETE ICONS
On the blog I follow up on my earlier post about using and remixing the idea of Icons from 13th Age in other contexts. For our new Microscope generated 13th Age campaign we created new mostly mortal icons. Half of these the players generated during our Session Zero. The rest I wrote to fill niches, but with ideas, names, and inspiration drawn from the timeline the players created. We’re a couple of sessions down the road with this f2f campaign, and we’re seeing new ideas and dimensions added to these in play.

The Year in Horror RPGs 2017
The Year in Horror RPGs 2017
This Halloween on The Gauntlet Blog I’ve belatedly decided to look at Horror RPGs published in 2017.

I like to wait until late in the year to see how the previous year’s releases have shaken out. I focused on core rules with a print version or a pdf of 100+ pages or so. Items have a small summary and/or minimal commentary. DTRPG has sale prices on this, the last day of their Spooky Games Sale 2018.

This post looks at couple of early gaming years and the dozen new licensed properties which emerged. Most of these had solid support from their company, but many burned out within a year or two. For example FASA’s Dr Who rpg had a huge number of supplemental products but was dumped two years later.

Check it out and if you dig it, I have links to the rest of my list series covering Horror, Post-Apocalypse, Steampunk, and more.
