Just a reminder about Gauntlet Hangouts. We are currently running three weekly events: Saturday Morning Cartoons, TGI Thursday, and Story Game Sunday. There are presently 11 events on the calendar. Also, Daniel Fowler recently ran a successful Cheat Your Own Adventure play-by-post, and I think we’ll see more stuff like that happening in the future. Our Hangouts round table show, What is a D6?, will be launching very soon as well. Come join us!

I think what’s going to happen with Threeforged is that, basically, six or seven Very Important Game Designers are going to share their opinion on G+ about which games they like, and then those are the games other people are going to actually read and vote on. We’re not going to see a situation where every game (or even a significant percentage of the games) gets a fair shake.

My Stage 1 game didn’t make it through to the end for #threeforged :-(.

My Stage 1 game didn’t make it through to the end for #threeforged :-(. I’m surprisingly bummed out about it. Like, “my enthusiasm for the contest is completely drained” bummed out.

All the Treasure They Left Behind

When it comes to treasure, the players get their hands on most of it, but not all of it. The linked document is a list of everything my players managed to leave behind in the nearly 200 sessions of Dungeon World I ran for them. Some of it was missed because the dungeon became overwhelming, and they had to escape before they were finished plundering it. Other times it was just plain carelessness. For example, many of these items were on the bodies of enemies they forgot to search before moving on to the next section.

Great kickoff to Monsterhearts today for Saturday Morning Cartoons. Some thoughts . . .

-The Cuckoo is still an excellent skin. Great for making mischief and getting the drama ball rolling.

-The Neighbor’s Mixed Messages move might be my favorite in the whole game in terms of RP-to-mechanical-outcomes.

-The nun from my last series of MH was one of the most fearsome villains I’ve ever run; trying to decide if I want to go there with our Sister Mary Dorcas.

-The Infernal’s Dark Power manifests as a yoga instructor/New Age spiritualist. It will be quite a feat to make that character villainous, but I love a challenge.

This is pretty great. The stories are a mixture of hilarious and skin-crawling. I promise: so worth a read.
