I need to do the Divine Blood report before it flees my mind still. Though I’ll likely be doing some transcription tonight instead.

In this case we’re back to the adventures of my German Changeling bard (currently disguised as a half-elf) investigating The Catacombs in search of the goddess of secrets, Iystrx.

Would like to have a broader chorus of voices involved.

Posted this over on Facebook but I thought I’d give it a crack here.

This maybe a long shot but I had an idea. Anyone interested in a collaborative worldbuilding kind of a thing? I’m thinking something to Hyborea and similar worlds. All humans, but heavy on the sword and sorcery and systemless.

I figure we can take suggestions and then vote on the top three or four then run with the results. This would be a massive undertaking if I did it alone, thus I ask the community.

It would be an ever growing project and essentially a living campaign. I think it would be fun and useful for those who do not want to use publish settings but find making their own world too intimidating.

What do y’all say? Any interest at all?

Conclusion to the first case of our City of Mist campaign. Kelsey’s player takes the GM seat next time. We’ve decided our opening monologue is in the voice of the character belonging to the GM saying what they heard about the case later.

Also. The unnamed Rift of Chang-e (the sleeping woman) got hit with a status 6 hit and will never sleep again unless some serious transformation happens later. Though my character doesn’t know that yet.

Just in case my list is incomplete, if you’re an Australia-based Gauntleteer attending Ettin Con next month, could you please click this poll? I have a trinkety gesture planned for each of you and don’t want any of you to leave empty-handed. This is not a bribe, an inducement, or an emolument.

I need help tracking down the author of a magic item going into Codex – Blood 2.

I need help tracking down the author of a magic item going into Codex – Blood 2. They submitted it to me at some point, but it has managed to go into the draft without their name on it, and now I can’t figure out who it came from.

The item is a tongue-shaped dagger called Nurtikwendlr.

Hey Guys.

Hey Guys.

I’m struggling to find people who run or even know burning wheel in Germany and I’m really excited about it. It seems pretty complicated though and I’m not quite getting the grip of it.

So I was wondering if any of you still play it (I’m literally late to the game) and would have me as a player. My spoken English isn’t perfect by any means but I do understand it well.

Lemme know if someone is interested in this.

Thanks

Codex Announcement

I am very pleased to announce Lauren McManamon will be joining the Codex team as a line/copy editor!

Lauren is an editor in her professional capacity and has been an active player and game runner on Gauntlet Hangouts for some time. Her first RPG publication, HGMO: Sherlock, came out in Codex – Lies, and she has a few more pieces scheduled for future release.

David LaFreniere will be taking a more active role on the content side of Codex with me, including developmental editing on new pieces. Our hope is we will be able to dedicate even more time to Codex contributors and the various games and articles that hit the zine’s pages.

Oli Jeffery is still in charge of layout.

I’m very excited about the future of Codex! Our already fantastic zine is going to get even better!

Sometimes I wake up, scan my social media stuff, and think (particularly of FB and Twitter): “This is all so utterly meaningless.”

You all have heard me say this a million times: I desire substance in my online interactions.

And that’s one thing that drives my relationship with the Gauntlet: authenticity in the face of an online culture that is not only devoid of real connection, but actively celebrates the vapid and mewling.

But maybe it’s a sign I’m getting old?
