This was pretty cute – a play-through of Tomb of Horrors using a ‘party’ of 30 kobolds. I think this is the Paranoia-esque version that Tom McGrenery has been waiting for. 😛

In the newest episode of The Gauntlet Podcast, I am joined by Joshua Fox of Black Armada to discuss his new game, Flotsam: Adrift Amongst the Stars. We also discuss a lot of RPG theory and other topics. It’s a really wonderful, warm conversation. NPR AF, really (or Radio 4 AF, I suppose).

On one of the podcasts, Jason mentions a magical item that’s a doll or teddy bear that takes the players place at the black gate. Does anyone remember the details or can point me toward where it can be found? I remember it was toward the beginning of the episode. I’ve re listened to the first 10 minutes or so of the last several FBD and DR and can’t seem to find it. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
The newest episode of our ENnie-nominated podcast, Fear of a Black Dragon, is here!
The newest episode of our ENnie-nominated podcast, Fear of a Black Dragon, is here! In this one, Tom McGrenery and I are thirsty to hunt down Acererak, the biggest trap queen of them all, deep in the heart of the Tomb of Horrors!

Greetings, and welcome to the weekly Gauntlet Hangouts video roundup! Don’t miss any of the great sessions in the updated playlists and video links below.
Also don’t miss this week the launch of Gaunt Marches, the new ongoing, multi-group, multi-GM Dungeon World campaign!
Star Wars Saturday
– Hutt Cartel (Session 3 of 3)
Oraasha Ne the Druglord and her Spouse Zoshta host a dunner party with the Pyke Syndicate while Rosmer Solari the Crooked ISB Agent tries to rob the lab and Vaynar the Assassin tries to catch him.
After a botched encounter w/ a popular hero, personal issues haunt the team– alienation, betrayal, expectations, not trending– but they regroup to hunt rogue Murder-Bots (and an Adore-a-bot).
It’s a new season for the promotion as Gauntlet League Wrestling returns to the Gauntlet City Arena (following court-ordered safety renovations), but the money’s running out and there’s chaos in creative direction as old hands rumble with new talent.
– Dungeon World: Gaunt Marches – The Land of 1,000 Sloughs (Session 2 of 5)
Friends and enemies follow the band on their course to the town of Alameen. What will they learn about the mysterious vanishing of a bandit in that town. Is it connected to the rumors of an ancient Prince’s curse?
– Dungeon World: Gaunt Marches – From Desire to Despond (Session 1 of 4)
A child goes missing, a friend vanishes, a warrior commits to her quest, a treasure hunter pursues a missing army, and a witch unravels threads of the truth.
Riding a trolley through the woods, a boy stares into the gates of hell, a despicable display of greed, a glass butler serves a shoe, a treasured memory is altered, a beast man’s goathead explodes: The end.
In episode 3, the group figured out what makes the premise of the game to fall apart: if family members give up too much of themselves to prevent strife in the family. Honestly this is an incredibly common thing to happen in families.
In episode 4, the group pushed big on the final crisis and the hard choices for the family. Also it’s revealed that it probably was Ryan Reynolds killing the undead as more of the cast of Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place start getting involved. (Claire really wants to test the theory that David Ogden Stiers is still around and eating flesh.)
– Beyond the Castle Wall: Keep on the Barrowlands (Session 1 of 4)
The players create the Drestfall family, Dukes of the Northern Reaches, and their ancestral home, Crow’s Watch Castle. Richard runs a wonderfully queer character-creation session of Beyond the Castle Wall, a dark fantasy playbook hack of Beyond the Wall.
– Dungeon World: Beneath Cartannah (Session 1 of 4)
The party save their dwarven guide from being kidnapped by a strange cult. We then flashback to discover the troubles of the Lassyheir family and the reason why our group is exploring the sewers.
Maxime Lacoste runs for Jan Petrykowski, Robbie Boerth, Ryan Windeknecht, and Spencer Paskett: https://youtu.be/JHDCdGuCBqI
– Spire: Blood and Dust (Session 2 of 4)
One sentence: Nuka does a deep dive in the Vermissian, and finds the rotten center of the corruption, while Tibalt and Margit follow a gun worshipping priest to the ideological extreme – and Tibalt gets recruited.
Cici Warwick the old money hedonist trying to restore her and her families rep. Silas Warwick dependent clergyman trying to prevent his aunt (Cici) from marrying so he can remain the heir apparent. Robert Willoughby disgraced barrister trying to repair things with former friend Cici. Lady Frances Barrington in love with Robert, which anyone can see is not a respectable match, but will the families money troubles shift the perspective of what is respectable? Good Society character creation. A dance to regain rep is also an opportunity to throw your drunken self at your love. It is just the beginning.
The St. Louis Plan – As the crew traverses the Mississippi they encounter the River Raiders, who offer them mission and a deal for free, safe passage the rest of the way on the Varina.

I just listened to the excellent ‘Player’s Principles and Agenda’ on the +1 Forward Podcast and wondered if these existed as a document somewhere I could download. Many thanks in advance.
Perhaps a friend and I recorded the first German-speaking all-female RPG podcast.
Perhaps a friend and I recorded the first German-speaking all-female RPG podcast. 😉 I’m not 100% sure – but people were complaining on twitter that there is no RPG podcast with women, so we ventured out into the wild, tried our very best not to ramble along too incoherently in this zeroest episode and I guess we’ll make some more episodes in the future. 😉
If you’re German speaking and like to tune in, I would be happy to read your feedback! 😀
Hey Gauntleteers! It’s Rach here with some hot and exciting +1 Forward content.
Hey Gauntleteers! It’s Rach here with some hot and exciting +1 Forward content.
Richard Rogers and I are preparing a follow up to last year’s +1 Forward episode “Playing the Apocalypse”. This episode explored questions from the community about playing PbtA games. Topics we covered last time included strategies to help other players succeed, how to best engage interPC mechanics and the differences between being a player in a PbtA game verses other systems.
Do you have any new and fresh questions about playing Powered by the Apocalypse games? Let us know here and your question might get featured on the show! I can’t wait to see what important topics and ideas you all suggest.
Please note that these questions should be tied to being a player and not an MC.
