I will be away from technology during Gauntlet Con. Will the panels and games be available online for patrons or the public in the future? Thanks for all you do.
Stephen Dewey is running his game To Serve Her Wintry Hunger for the Saturday slot at 11 PM EDT. I got a chance to play this with Stephen and a few other folks a couple years ago, and it is excellent.
It’s about a group of spirits who serve a goddess of Winter, Yuki Onna, and the lonely hero who is trekking through the woods in an attempt to get back home before Winter takes him. It’s based on the Playing Nature’s Year series by Meguey Baker, and places an emphasis on natural wonders in the way those games do. It’s a dark, lovely fairy tale, and I can’t recommend it more highly.
Check out the link below and sign-up! If you’re not registered for Gauntlet Con, let me know and I’ll send you instructions on how to do so.

Vivien Feasson is a French game designer and a translator on Call of Cthulhu and Paranoïa who likes to theorize on games sometimes. He is behind the Edo-era chambara Les Errants d’Ukiyo but also the indie Lost in the Rain, a shifting-GM storygame where you play lost children that get try to survive in a desert city. Inspired by other local designers, he discovered that you could conceive several games based on the same universe, so he launched a crowdfunding operation for another try at his “rainyverse” with Libreté, a powered-by-the-apocalypse game which was successfully published in 2017. Right now, he is trying to (finally) get his PhD, earn a living, raise his daughter, continue to play rpgs, avoid spending too much time creating an OSR version of Lost in the Rain, and promote his already-released games.
During Gauntlet Con, Vivien will be running Libreté.
