But Ryan, where’s the Miscellany post?
It’s over on the shiny new Gauntlet Forums, where all the cool kids are! Go sign up if you haven’t already and tell me about some weird plant-type-things. Puns and/or nightmare fuel not required, but I promise to be aghast at every one.

The Gauntlet Forums
The Gauntlet Forums
Ever since Google announced the closure of G+, folks have been wondering where The Gauntlet would go. Today I am delighted to let you know the answer:
The Gauntlet Forums!
Shane Liebling and a bunch of other awesome folks have been hustling to get the forums finished in time for the (accelerated) closure of G+, and they are now ready for you to join at the link below!
Please read the intro message, particularly the FAQ and the Inclusivity Policy. All the values we built this community with will transfer over to the forums.
Once you’re all set up, start interacting with posts so you can raise your trust levels. Keep an eye on the Announcements section, which is where we will post new podcast episodes, contests, Gauntlet Con info and other official business. RPG Chat and Game Design is where I expect most people to hang out. And Gauntlet Hangouts is where we will be announcing new games on our calendar.
We have archived this G+ Community so we can access its content whenever we need to. G+ was good to us, and we’re sad to see it go, but we’re ready for the move.
So, please, do come join us at the new home of The Gauntlet!

The Veil: Inheritance, a biopunk PbtA game of bioengineered bounty hunters in space is now live! It’s a little Cowboy Bebop, a little Blade Runner and there’s links to the QuickStart on the page. Give it a try.
One of the stretch goals is to have Mabel Harper adapt the game to an OSR framework. If we reach our funding goal, you’ll be walking away with two cyberpunk games, not just one!

Just finished listening to the enlightening conversation between Backstory podcast host Alex Roberts and the Gauntlet’s Lauren McManamon . Topics covered include consent in games, smashing the patriarchy, and Kakapo — NZ’s amazing flightless parrots! Lauren & Jesse Ross ‘s game Girl Underground has under 24 hours left on Kickstarter so I recommend you check it out ASAP! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jesseross/girl-underground-zine-quest
PS. “Just how great are Kakapo?” no one in particular asks… I leave you with this video as my reply: https://youtu.be/9T1vfsHYiKY.
Can I get help with an accessibility check-up?
Can I get help with an accessibility check-up?
I’m completely blind and use a screen reader to use the computer. Screen readers don’t play well with some software, and I’d like to make sure that it works well with all the tools you guys use here in the games.
I can think of two ways for verifying this:
– A list of the tools you guys use in the games
– A very brief one-on-one or something where I get to test-drive those tools
I’d really appreciate any help.
Thanks!
Has the Gauntlet decided where to go from here?

The Fate Core community on G+ tested MeWe, but after a pair of weeks some of us found it lacking.
We are currently testing pashpost, and while it’s a much greener site when it comes to groups, the developers are really responsive and started adjusting things. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still green, but form example markup formatting is coming up next week at our request. So not perfect but improving. And it already handles email notifications like g+ does, which is a big plus for me.
History of Licensed RPGs (Part IV 1990-92)
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.
Hey Gauntleteers, it’s time to crowdsource the miscellany for Codex – Screams.
Hey Gauntleteers, it’s time to crowdsource the miscellany for Codex – Screams. This miscellany is called “Three Dozen Things That Definitely Aren’t Right Behind You.” Submissions need to be a single sentence, or 2-3 short sentences. By submitting here, you’re agreeing to let us use it (you’ll get a credit on the issue). We’re looking for evocative things; the purpose of the miscellany is to inspire the reader.
Here are some examples:
“They look almost like wolves, and speak with the voices of those climbers have lost. It can’t be your grandmother asking you to rest for a moment and spare her poor knees, but oh, it’s nice to pretend.”
“Most of the records are corrupted, but the recoverable portion from this workstation details the medical staff’s surprise at finding a local fungus pervading the internal organs—particularly the lungs—of a mechanic who should have had no exposure to the botany lab. …Did Higgins have that cough before you got here?”
“The Ragged Man of Copper Creek resembles a cloth doll made by someone with only the faintest grasp of sewing. Loose threads trail from his mismatched arms and unhemmed suit, waiting to entangle anyone who stumbles across him.”
P.S. If you want to be credited as something other than your G+ name, let me know!

Hey Gauntleteers, I know a lot of you are game bloggers. I’m a new one, and not much of a reader. How am I doing?

I’m new at this. A lot of you aren’t. How’m I doing? I’d value your feedback.
