Before everything was powered by the apocalypse and the advent of worldwide wrestling there was this neat narrative wrestling game.

Card based mechanic – worth a look and comparison to that other one….

Dear Gauntlet types… there are a couple of games that I thought you might not be aware of and would like to try out.. Number 1: Umlaut

It’s worth noting the bands you create obviously don’t have to be metal bands they can be anything. It’s a great light (very amusing) gm-less option which you guys might want to try…

– I only let you know because I’m expecting more amazing comment readery

– Monster alphabet is from Goodman games OSR in origin but can be used for other systems too. You might find it useful for DW games.

There’s also a Dungeon Alphabet (it came first and is available NOW!)

Monster of the week – Err am I missing something or do you end up with way too many history connections with 5 players? Ours has become some insane secret family fest. Including a 70 year old and a little girl being twins (I actually like that one) – apologies for the last rather poor post.

I am now officially a synthwave junkie and planning on moving on to the next wave of my total 80s immersion by watching some inspiring ‘monster of the week-esque’ films. Any recommendations?

Along with Jason Cordova​’s recommended synthwave artists check out. Miami heat 1984, Carpenter Brut and Irving Force.

OK so here’s my conundrum.

OK so here’s my conundrum.

OK so here’s my conundrum. I’ve been running DCC for a group of absolute RPG newbies. They like it but I would like to get them to try out looser less traditional games.. I used DCC because it’s got the traditional elements people associate with a roleplaying game which some people have enjoyed and others not. There also less actual need to get into a character if a new player feels a little nervous about putting it out there too.

We are a fairly new bunch of friends and long in the tooth but I think a little roleplaying could be the next step. I thought dungeon world but I don’t want them to think all roleplaying games are fantasy based.

I’m basically looking for the post ‘what is a roleplaying game’ game that will introduce more dialogue between the players… I thought thematically Apocalypse World could be a winner but the it might be a big step… Not sure… Suggestions… Should I just hit them with fiasco and see?

Anyone on the Gauntlet played Power Play by level 99 games. I backed the kickstarter but I’ve had it for a while and it’s not made it to the table yet. Wondering if it’s worth pushing for it to be played?
