Here is my idea from earlier, in document form.

Here is my idea from earlier, in document form. It’s immediately relevant to the people I am currently/soon-to-be playing Dungeon World with (Richard Rogers Yoshi Creelman Jørund Kambestad Lie steven watkins David LaFreniere Doyle Tavener Russell Benner Daniel Fowler Jorge Salazar Jeff Burke), since it will be up to their characters to save up the Coin and get it going. However, anyone who thinks they might join me for a Dungeon World game in the future, or run a Dungeon World game under our banner, will want to pay attention. 

As a side note, I think this idea is one of my very best, at least as far as being an organizer of games and gaming communities.

Feedback is welcome.

I’m having some thoughts about a thing related to Dungeon World.

I’m having some thoughts about a thing related to Dungeon World. It’s something that, frankly, only The Gauntlet can pull off. Thoughts, thoughts, thoughts…More info forthcoming.

I’m a little late to this party, but Meguey Baker has a Patreon where she is making beautiful little games focused on the seasons. I’ve taken a look at a few of them so far, and they are really neat. Even though they are new games, they feel . . . ancient, somehow; like the gaming equivalent of a folk tale. 

Check out her Patreon! This is good stuff.

Now that #Threeforged  is over, I wanted to share my Stage 1 game.

Now that #Threeforged  is over, I wanted to share my Stage 1 game.

Now that #Threeforged  is over, I wanted to share my Stage 1 game. It’s called Public Access, and it originated from a conversation we had in Episode 22 of the Gauntlet Podcast, in which we discussed games we’d like to play that don’t yet exist. 

It’s a slim, simple game, but I’m proud of it. We play-tested it once, and it hit my major design goal, which was a collaborative mystery game that is also genuinely creepy (which should also make it apparent why Becky Annison  and Joshua Fox’s Lovecraftesque is so exciting to me). 

To my great disappointment, Public Access didn’t make it through to the end of the contest, but people who read and enjoyed Transmission will see a lot of its DNA in that game (I’m tagging a few of the people I remember who said they liked that one, in case they want to give this one a look, too: Wendy Gorman  Robert Bohl Chris Longhurst Robert Carnel). 

Anyway, I welcome any feedback you might have. And if you ever want to give it a go, please let me know.
