I want to take a minute to give dreams to the entire community and say how inspired I am by all the things we have been able to accomplish. When you lean back and take it all in, the Gauntlet is really something special.
We produce six fantastic podcasts, each of which, outside of planned breaks, are released weekly or bi-weekly without fail.
We have an online gaming calendar that features over 100 sessions per month. And the rate at which those sessions make (meaning they don’t get canceled) is over 95%.
We have, for the last twenty months, released a new PDF issue of a highly-polished magazine on the first of the month, every month, with no release gaps whatsoever (and a 40-page bonus issue in the middle of that regular release schedule).
We successfully organized our first online convention, a weekend event with nearly 100 sessions, 10 different panels, and a fucking writing contest. And, it bears repeating, this was the inaugural edition.
But the thing I’m most proud of, the thing that is most difficult to express with numbers, is our community. Gauntleteers are the best players, the best GMs, the best people. We operate in a space organized around principles of kindness, love, and mutual admiration. We are proof you don’t have to be an asshole, you don’t have to be “controversial,” in order to have an opinion or to get people to listen to you. You can push back against the jaded, cynical nature of the internet and embrace an ethos of good cheer and camaraderie, and in the end, you will be so much happier, so much more content.
Dreams, dreams all around. The Gauntlet excites me and leaves my heart feeling full.
Nicholas Hopkins and I have been designing a game called “The Mice-Men of Mirewald”. It’s attempting to mash Mouse Guard into a Lasers and Feelings format and was inspired, in part, by the Pocket Sized AP run of Woodlands.
I think it’s at the point where we need some people who aren’t us to play it, to ensure that the text makes sense. If a 5 page game of brave little mice in a big dangerous world sounds like something you could bring to your game group, shoot me an email at wastelandofenchantment@gmail.com so I can send you the beta doc!
I’m looking for group that plays online PbtA game (e.g. via Discord) and is willing to take new player from eastern Europe. I would like to play in English. I am using English in work daily and I don’t think it’s going to be an issue. My time zone is CET (GMT+1). I have played Dungeon World, Urban Shadows, Apocalypse World. I’ve GM Apocalypse World, Dungeon World and The Sprawl.
If this is not the best place for this post, please point me where should I post it.
It’s a new episode of +1 Forward! This one has Rach Shelkey and I tackling, from a primarily player’s point-of-view, some approaches towards long-term play in games that are Powered by the Apocalypse.

I’m playing in a home game of WH40K: Only War. This is my first rpg of WH40K and I’m not sure if it is the game for me. I feel that I need to look over my shoulder the whole time and that I can’t play my character the way I want to because of the setting of the game. For example, no lipping off to the officers or non-coms or you are dead. Is this just part of the system or something at our table? Thanks for your input.
