A bit of a late notice, but Houston members please take note: we’re having a welcoming party at Asgard Games tonight starting at 5pm and going on into the night.

I purchased Asgard Games very recently and intend to make it a friendly home for roleplaying/storytelling and certainly for everyone in the Gauntlet. As such, this is also a send-off for prior owner Will Pagani who is leaving to take a job at Privateer Press.

If you cannot make it tonight, then I hope to see you here in the near future.

We’re at 3302 S. Shepherd, between Richmond and Alabama.

Hello Gauntlet, I’m finally running a Kickstarter project that may interest this community. I proceed here mindful of Jason Cordova’s recent note about posting to the community. I’ve run a lot of KS projects and don’t post about them here because I don’t want to spam the community, but this one aligns nicely.

Prince Valiant The Storytelling Game by Greg Stafford is worthy on its own merits as an early RPG that features elements valued among Gauntlet members, but an upcoming stretch goal offers new material from a host of designers this community holds in high regard. Indeed, I first heard of some of these designers from the Gauntlet Podcast.

The project’s $40k stretch goal will add scenarios by designers such as: Bret Gillan, Meguey Baker, Dev Purkayastha, Sage LaTorra, Epidiah Ravachol, Julia Ellingboe, and Emily Care Boss. Other great designers like John Harper are already included.

I hope you’ll share the project with like-minded gamers. Not only am I delighted to have these designers involved in my project, but I also believe it’s an opportunity to introduce their work to gamers who might not otherwise learn about games like Shooting the Moon, The Final Girl, or Psi*Run.

I feel like this game will be of interest to the Gauntlet crew. It’s system lite (no Attributes or Skills) and the designer is clearly oriented toward story-driven adventures (look at the description of the “Black Machairodus” scenario in Update #10). I am now involved the project, but it’s by virtue of these same reasons, so there’s no conflict in my recommendation! I hope you’ll take a look:

The Gauntlet community encourages non-traditional gaming, so I’d like to direct you to my current Kickstarter project. Are you willing to game without dice?

It would be great to have the support of local gamers. Thanks for taking a look.

The members of this esteemed group play an admirable selection of games, but I need some help a bit more prosaic. If you play Pathfinder and would allow me to pick your brain a bit, then kindly send me an email (subject “Pathfinder”, please) at info@nocturnal-media.com.

I’d love to get some Houston-area support for my new Kickstarter. The project went live on Tuesday. Thanks in advance for sharing it with anyone else who might be interested.
