Tossing this back up for eyes on it.  I’ve gotten 24 orders for shirts, and it’s looking Like Traditional Style being the logo winner, and the top 3 colours are Navy/Maroon/Tie between Russet & Black.

Apparently we are a very dark group. 

Anyone still wanting a shirt, or wanting to add more to your order, let me know before Dec 3rd, as I’ll put in the order that day.

  $12 for anything up to XL, $14 for anything larger.

Good Morning Gauntletketeers!

I’ve been busy looking for ways to help you celebrate KrampusNaught and I have found a possible solution.

I have located a local printing place that would be willing to have gauntlet shirts printed in blue for about $12 a shirt. The only catch is that they want a minimum order of 36.

So, please let me know how many of you would be interested, and how many shirts you’d like at that price. I know at least 3 confirmed, so if I can get 33 more, I’ll put in the order and work out payment details.

Here are some pics from last Sunday’s game of Golden Sky Stories.

In GSS, you play little animals, called henge, who can transform into children. They live in a small Japanese town and have heartwarming adventures together! The game is explicitly low-conflict and, in fact, rewards a style of play that is cutesy-funny, gentle, and kind. In our game, there was a little American kid who had just moved to town and was being picked-on by the locals at school. We befriended him, brought joy to his life, and helped him make friends at his new school. 

I actually like GSS quite a bit. It certainly delivers on its promises. I’m not sure how often I’d want to play it, but it was a fun diversion. 

Thanks to Daniel Lewis for running it, and to everyone else who came out. 

I’d really like to make the weekly online game happen (and stick).

I’d really like to make the weekly online game happen (and stick). It is the biggest Gauntlet challenge, and always has been, which isn’t entirely surprising, given we do so much gaming in-person. 

I think we might have some success if we do it on Saturday afternoons, say from 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm. I’m almost always available on Saturdays, and that would still end early enough to where by boyfriend wouldn’t kill me. 

Thoughts?

Here’s the potential proofs for the Gauntlet shirt.

Please let me know your top 3 pics, I believe we can only get 1 color, but in case I can get 2 I want to get a ranked listing.  Numbers are from top-left to bottom right, and listed in the caption.

Looking for a recommendation for podcasts to listen to.

This is due to the driveway conversation with the Sunday group last night. So I know Serial is on the list, and I already have Welcome to NightVale. What else do you all listen to?

Jason Cordova , here’s that contest I was talking about.  Freeform larpy games that fit these criteria:

Jason Cordova , here’s that contest I was talking about.  Freeform larpy games that fit these criteria:

1. Be playable from start to finish in two hours or less, by people who are not you.

2. Be playable by a variable but small number of participants, ideally a wide range like 2-8.

3. Be playable in a public space, like an open lounge in a busy hallway.

Most of them are downloadable under “Can I read any of them?”

Here are some photos from our Friday Anthology and (the last) Wednesday One-Shots. On Wednesday, we had two tables of Goblin Quest. That game is ridiculously fun. It’s three days later, and I’m still giggling about those stupid goblins and their hijinks. 

On Friday, we continued our Dagger Isles campaign for Dungeon World, with the party looting what they believed to be the Purple Mane’s vault. A quick side note: we also tried some of those crazy new menu items at Pizza Hut. I’m happy to report that each was a winner. We had a regular pepperoni pizza, but with  a curry-flavored crust. It was quite tasty, as was the Pretzel Piggy, which was creamy parmesan sauce, fresh mushrooms and spinach, ham, and balsamic vinegar, on a pretzel crust. But my personal favorite was definitely the Sriracha Dynamite, which was a thin-crust pizza with honey-sriracha drizzle, pineapple, jalapeños, peruvian cherry peppers, and chicken.
