If your friend who had never run a roleplaying game before came to you and asked you for your single best tip, what would you say?

This week on The Gauntlet Podcast, we have a really fun interview with Grant Howitt! You will know Grant from Goblin Quest and other wonderful games conceived-of while drunk. Check the show notes below for links.

We just finished recording an interview with one of our favorite game designers. He was completely delightful. If I could miniaturize him and put him on my shelf, I would do so without reservation.

Episode 25 of The Gauntlet Podcast released today. In this one, we discuss all kinds of things, including Vincent Baker’s In a Wicked Age, Jackson Tegu’s How We Are Like the Storm, Eero Tuovinen’s Zombie Cinema, Jason Morningstar’s Night Witches, Grant Howitt’s Goblin Quest and One Last Job, and Ben Lehman’s Hot Guys Making Out. 

Please leave feedback in the comments. Enjoy!

Can you think of a really underrated game mechanic? Here is what I mean: I think the way The Burning Wheel abstracts money is fucking brilliant, but all you ever hear about with that game is the Belief system or The Duel of Wits.

What is a really underrated game mechanic, and why is it so brilliant?

If I organized short, roundtable-style Hangouts sessions where we just talk about RPGs, would you be interested in that? 

We just finished recording this week’s podcast. You guys are going to love it!

Ryan Poe ran a one-shot of Swords Without Master over on Gauntlet Hangouts. He recorded the session, which you can watch at the link below!
