Hey you all, new to the group but I am a long time player/GM. Anyone looking for a player inside the loop?

Dungeon World with kids… what’s everyone’s experience with it?

I’ve run some far-too-seldom sessions with my daughters (12 and 15 now, but going back to when they were 12 and 9) and their friends.

One thing I’ve noticed is that for character and world-building, they’re FANTASTIC. They love coming up with details for all of that.

For the gaming itself, though they’re creative and love the story-telling aspect, it seems they need to be held “on the rail” more than I would ever dream about with experienced players. The story needs exact goals, and the flexibility that DW adds may be a bit too much — at least right off. (I need to get them into more constant play, but getting a group of teens together consistently is challenging, to say the least)

Does anyone have any experience, advice with this? I’d be interested to hear what you did and how it went. I think that DW is an amazing game, but with some special challenges when it comes to people who need to be “directed more” (ie, “kids”)

This is a really interesting article about leaving your gaming group.

This is a really interesting article about leaving your gaming group. It’s one of the most difficult decisions you can make as a ttrpg gamer, but often one of the most necessary. One of the nice things about Gauntlet Hangouts is that the way it’s organized (open table, shifting play groups, a large variety for games) minimizes the possibility of ennui or crystallization of bad habits.

I found this gaming podcast, High Shelf Gaming, and I listened to a few episodes. The podcast talks about cons, True Dungeon, and women in gaming.

When they mentioned gaming with Lego, I posted to their facebook page.

We discussed a couple of Lego games (BrickQuest and Mobile Frame Zero).

Below are the links to the episode.

One person made a meme of something I said when I was asked what games I currently play. 🙂

This Saturday (June 16th) is Free RPG Day (http://freerpgday.com/), and it holds a special place in my heart.

This Saturday (June 16th) is Free RPG Day (http://freerpgday.com/), and it holds a special place in my heart. You see, I played my first Story Game on Free RPG Day several years ago. 🙂

For the past few years, I’ve been organizing some friends who are Rock-Star GMs to run Story Games at a FLGS, and this year we are going to be running games at two of the local stores! (AW, DW, PbtA Weird West, Lady Blackbird, Urban Fantasy Fate, and Fortune’s Fool are a few of the games we are running.)

You see, there aren’t too many Story Games in the offerings for Free RPG Day because it’s expensive to participate for a small independent company.

This year, there are some Paizo, Numenera, and Unknown Armies–as well as a Lamentations of the Flame Princess supplement.

So, if you are free on Saturday and are in Austin, stop by and play a game with us.

If you aren’t near Austin, but are near a participating store (found here: http://www.freerpgday.com/stores.htm?v=2018c), consider stopping by to see what they have to offer.

Maybe run a game there to give players an option to try out a Story Game as well the usual fare.

Thanks.

Gauntlet Hangouts

Lowell Francis and I have been spearheading an effort to grow the Gauntlet Hangouts calendar this year, and the results have been fantastic. If you haven’t given Gauntlet Hangouts a look in awhile, or perhaps you’ve never heard of it at all, I strongly recommend taking a look at the link below. We have 214 sessions scheduled through August (and we have barely started with August). Our community takes the act of playing ttrpgs very seriously. We teach each other, we support each other, we celebrate each other. Our open table play culture is all about creating space for new people to get involved; you never have to have experience with a particular game, and you can attend even if you can only make a session or two. And if you have no experience with online gaming? Doesn’t matter–we want you here. You’ll get up to speed very quickly with a group of fabulous people who will support you the whole way!

The time to get involved with Gauntlet Hangouts is right now. On July 1st, we’re making more of the coveted $7 Patreon spots available. Those spots give you RSVP priority to new games posted to the Gauntlet Hangouts calendar (in addition to the other benefits of Patreon membership).
