Hey guys, I want to thank you for making this show.
Hey guys, I want to thank you for making this show. I’ve been letting episodes stack up for the past several months, while my attention has been on news. Now, thankfully, I have this wonderful, massive pile of episodes to drive through. It’s great for distracting me from stuff I don’t want to think about, as well as giving me all the usual awesome things this show gives me. It’s a nice, big, warm blanket I can hide under.
Thanks.
I’m thrilled to announce that the latest +1 Forward is here!

Sarah Richardson and Marissa Kelly join me to talk about Bluebeard’s Bride.
Let me tell you, editing (which meant listening to over and over) the AP section was not easy! There were some truly disturbing images that flowed from Sarah’s fertile mind! Be warned.
The Kickstarter for Bluebeard’s Bride is almost over, so please go check it out: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1921129910/bluebeards-bride?ref=nav_search
Just got round to listening to the full Ramshackle radio play edit.
Just got round to listening to the full Ramshackle radio play edit… Brilliant, Jason Cordova and David LaFreniere have such great rapport.
I’m working on a thing for next year related to the Satanic panic of the 80’s & early 90’s.
I’m working on a thing for next year related to the Satanic panic of the 80’s & early 90’s. I need to be put in touch with the following kinds of people:
-People who grew up during that time, and have stories to share related to Satanic panic and RPGs.
-People who are familiar with or interested in movies and other forms of media that promoted the ideas behind the Satanic panic.
-People who are familiar with or interested in how AD&D 2E was changed from 1E because of the Satanic panic.
-People who are familiar with or interested in how the Satanic panic (and other moral panics) intersected with fear of certain minorities, such as gay men.
-People who are interested in the scars the modern hobby has from the Satanic panic days.
-People who are knowledgeable about or interested in new moral panics, or modern-day parallels with the Satanic panic, and how those things affect the hobby.
If you know anyone who might fit into one of the above categories (or if you yourself fit one of them), please let me know. You can email me at gauntletpodcast@gmail.com.
Feel free to re-share this post.
Thanks!

I just finished Bonus Episode 2 of the Gauntlet (just found the series a week ago and powering through Gauntlet and DR,) and our first games sound EXACTLY the same.
I too started off playing Marvel Heroes ran by an older neighbor. I remember the crazy tables with crazy random powers. And I remember how uneven each player was, with some players being Daredevil power while others being practical Superman gods.
I too had that ah ha moment when I brought the hero (I too love villains ….. Go Magneto) through a town fountain, just to freeze them in their tracks.
I too then went to 2nd Ed, literally copying by hand charts from someone I met in another neighborhood. Introducing to friends …. badly. Teaching a 11/12 year old THAC0 is near impossible,.
I had all of my material burned by my overly protective parents during the satanic panic and was asked if I wanted counseling for being into such things.
What followed was an even greater increase of RPing, including finding secret groups of 2nd ed and then what defined my RPIng which was Vampire, both Larping and the PnP game have given me the greatest of memories (to the point in which I have translated Vampire into multiple other systems including D20 modern and Urban Shadows.) The combat was horrible, but the politics and bureaucracy of everything shows me a side to gaming that wasn’t kill, kill, kill.
Plenty of other stuff afterwards (3/3.5, Shadowrun, ect…) and the last 5 years, mostly story games (after a failed coming back to RP through Pathfinder,) but when I listened to your list …. felt like I was giving the story myself. Thanks for sharing as it brough back memories of time almost forgotten.
I am guessing you are close my age … 37ish.
