The conclusion of Monsterhearts: Mercy Falls ’83 is here!

Thanks to all the awesome players in this series: Lauren McManamon, Gerrit Reininghaus, Philipp Neitzel, Fraser Simons, and Tomer Gurantz. And extra special thanks to Fraser for producing the show.

The Mercy Falls saga will continue later this year with Memories of Mercy Falls! If you haven’t yet checked out the Mercy Falls series, I strongly recommend it. So many people have found the Gauntlet and gotten involved in what we do solely on the strength of this series. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

And if you have been enjoying Pocket-Sized Play, please consider supporting us on Patreon. You not only help make the show possible, but you get exclusive access to episodes of the show before they release to the general public.

The newest episode of Fear of a Black Dragon is here! In this one, Tom and I begin our exploration of the dusty corridors of Masks of Lankhmar. The Expert Delve portion contains a really deep dive into the concept of in medias res and how to use that technique to achieve a number of desirable outcomes at the game table.

Enjoy!

Yesterday I conducted my first playtests for The Between.

Yesterday I conducted my first playtests for The Between. I am feeling confident; the gameplay has so far matched my expectations in terms of my design goals.

If you’d like to take a look at the game, there is a link at the bottom of this post. A couple of notes:

-This folder does not contain GM-side material, which is a very important component of this game (more important than in most PbtA games). I’m not quite ready to share that stuff.

-The Overscenes document is just a sample of what will ultimately be available in the game in the form of a deck of cards. The document in the folder is just for this current round of playtesting.

-One core playbook, The Explorer, is not being playtested yet and so is not in the folder.

Codex – Moonlight is now available!

Codex – Moonlight is now available!

Codex – Moonlight is now available in our $4+ Patreon feed. Here is what you will find inside:

Pack of Strays: The Moonlit Road An expansion for the original Pack of Strays by Phillip Wessels that adds new locations, vehicles, and the (awesome) hunters to the mix. It is particularly cool because it focuses on loaded questions as a way of developing the story. As cool as Pack of Strays was, this makes it even better. It features a moving illustration by Jesse Ross.

moon language This is a one-player freeform game by aura belle about communicating with the moon through drawing. It is a really beautiful text-inspiring and evocative–and features an illustration by Evan Rowland that really captures the wistfulness of the piece.

Under the Gaze of Yr A supplement of moonlit mystery for Dungeon World featuring contributions by Rach Shelkey Lowell Francis Paul Edson and Kate Bullock. It also has four original illustrations by Jesse Ross.

Apocalypse by Moonlight This is a plug-in/mini-supplement for Powered by the Apocalypse Games that lets you add emergent mysteries to your story. It a really innovative bit of tech, on par with my Labyrinth Move for Dungeon World, and I can’t wait to use it in Monsterhearts 2. It was written by Oli Jeffery and features art by the talented Bill Masuku.

Gauntlet Daddies #008 Muscle Bear! We’re doing another contest for this one, so be sure to check the issue for details. Muscle Bear was drawn by Duchess of Beefcake.

Three Dozen Truths Revealed by the Light of the Moon

Cover art for Moonlight is by Claudia Cangini Line and copy editing are by Lauren McManamon. Layout is by Oli Jeffery. Developmental editing are by myself and David LaFreniere.

Friday Dreams

We haven’t done dreams in for some time. I rolled b[2d12] and got and 8, so 8 dreams it is…

A dream to Tomer Gurantz for organizing our late-night Discord chats.

A dream to Andi Carrison for always having something super-interesting to say on those late night Discord chats.

A dream to Catherine Ramen whose game about a queer subculture in the 90s made me cry.

A dream to Fraser Simons who heroically listens to my venting and then asks if there is anything he can do to help.

A dream to Jesse Ross for helping The Between feel like a real thing.

A dream to Kate Bullock because she is in my heart.

A dream to Rob Abrazado for his amazing Gauntlet Hangouts video round-ups. Incredible!

A dream to Bryen Alperin and Ryan McNeil for diving in head first and doing the thing!

Do you have any dreams to share? Share them in the comments. They don’t have to be about ttrpg things!
