I need your help!

I’m trying to claw back a bit of my personal bandwidth, and could really use some help with a few small Gauntlet-related tasks (detailed below). These would be completely voluntary, but I’ll give the three individuals who help me out the benefits of $7 Patreon support (RSVP priority on Hangouts games, PDF copies of Codex, and Slack group).

Here is what I need:

Podcast cross-posting

Whenever a new episode of one of our podcasts comes out, a post would be made at the following locations: Reddit, RPG.net, Story Game forums, and our Facebook group (I’ll still handle G+ and Twitter). The person who takes this on doesn’t have to hang around to answer comments or anything (unless they want to) but they should let the podcast hosts know if some kind of discussion is taking place they might be interested in.

YouTube playlist management

Whoever helps out with this ensures that our YT playlists are in order, including playlists for our various podcasts, as well as any AP videos we make available. Our game runners will send them links for APs to be added to the appropriate playlists. Podcasts episodes are uploaded to YT automatically and simply need to be put in a playlist when they appear.

Comic Strip AP timecodes

This one is the most work, but also arguably the most fun. Basically, you listen to each upcoming episode of Comic Strip AP and note timecodes for them. I’ll still handle all the uploads and the website.

If you’re interested in helping out, just send me a message on Hangouts chat. Thanks!

Codex – Iron is now available! At 29 pages, this is the heftiest edition of Codex yet. Here’s what’s inside…

The Gates of Cold Iron Pass

This is an OSR-style adventure about the mountain pass home of an isolated clan of dwarves. I won’t include any spoilers here, but let’s just say something is growing in the darkness of Cold Iron Pass. This grim little romp was written by Kiel Chenier and includes illustrations by Nery Mejicano (like the one below).

Wind on the Path

Potential strangers

Meet on their private journey

Blades open for death

Wind on the Path is a short form game about samurai duels. It’s designed to be played at conventions or other spaces where you might run into people who are also playing the game (for example, I’m going to organize some games on our Slack!). Winning duels increases the skill of your samurai, but also their notoriety, meaning valuable information is revealed to future opponents. The game was written by Jonathan Lavallee and features art by Randy M. The included play sheets were designed by Oli Jeffery.

Four Dwarven Shrines

These dwarven shrines for Dungeon World were written with an eye toward turning the common dwarf tropes upside down (in one case, literally so!) or just playing around with the idea of what it means to be a fantasy dwarf. Each includes a custom move for the shrine, a magic item, and a cleric spell. The authors on this piece are Slade Stolar, Ray Otus, David LaFreniere, and Daniel Fowler. The art is by Allan Dotson.

Three dozen tempering trials

Our miscellany this month features trials and competitions meant to temper mind, body, and emotion. These are all highly evocative and imaginative, and many would make a great set piece in your game, or even a whole adventure!

This month’s beautiful cover features an illustration by Vandel J. Arden. Layout on the issue is by Oli Jeffery. David LaFreniere handled editing.
