During this morning’s return to Dungeon World, the party managed to find one of my favorite magic items, the Bountiful Butter Box. This particular incarnation of this incredibly stupid item has a few extra requirements, as detailed on the inscription inside the lid:

““Sing a verse of buttery joy,

then dance your buttery jig,

and your buttery box will never be empty,

you happy, buttery pig!”

On Episode 28 of The Gauntlet Podcast, we welcome Richard Rogers, who joins the show as a regular co-host.

The new Bundle of Holding should be of interest to our community.

The new Bundle of Holding should be of interest to our community. There is a lot of terrific stuff in here, including Hannah Shaffer’s Questlandia, which we have played a few times, and three issues of Epidiah Ravachol’s incredible Worlds Without Master.

I wanted to share a thing one of my Houston players sent me. It made me very happy.

Hey Jason, I just finished listening to the podcast, it was a great one. However, I didn’t know you would be leaving Houston this soon. In all likelihood I won’t have another opportunity to see you in person before you leave. I wish I could tell you this in person but this message will have to suffice. I want to thank you for opening your house to not only me but everyone in the gauntlet week after week. I don’t know if I told you this, but my very first RPG experience I had was a little over a year ago and it was pretty terrible. I drove an hour to a game shop for a Dungeons & Dragons game and no one so much as even asked my name. The very next week I found a Friday night Dungeon World game on the Meetup, and when I showed up and you not only opened your house to me, but you were very patient and engaging, that more than made up for my previous experience with FtF gaming. Because of the Gauntlet and, by default, in large part because of you, I have this great new hobby I will no doubt keep up with for the rest of my life. I really just wanted to say thank you for that.

It’s Community Feedbaaaaack!

Put something on our radar. It can be a game, a convention, a particular designer, a Kickstarter campaign, or something gaming-adjacent, like a book or movie that inspires your play. Say a few things about why it’s noteworthy.

For this week’s podcast, I did an interview with Becky Annison & Joshua Fox! Becky & Josh are kickstarting a new game called Lovecraftesque. It looks tremendous. In fact, it looks like the Lovecraft game of my fucking dreams. I can’t wait to play it!

Here is the link to the Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1122788890/lovecraftesque
