Lauren McManamon and I bring you the public beta of our duet tabletop RPG Strange Birds, with layout by the very talented Jay Iles! In Strange Birds you pick a beautiful, fantastical, dorky, bird species to play and explore their eccentricities and foibles with a partner. Duet play has been getting more love in The Gauntlet lately, and I’m very excited to see the community playtest this game! Get it now! http://ow.ly/zXTc30msY1D

Hi all, I compiled three World of Dungeons custom classes I created for play in Tom McGrenery’s ongoing Yoon-Suin based campaign for The Gauntlet. They’re all fairly out of the ordinary so they may be of interest if you’re looking for something fun and unusual!

I wrote up this DW move in prep for my next session and was wondering if I could get some critiques of it:

Funeral Oratory

When you stand before a group of assembled mourners and speak of the grievously departed, roll +CHA. On a 10+ choose 2, on a 7-9 choose 1. On a miss you slight the memory of the departed and suffer the community’s wrath.

-You assuage your own guilt

-You help the community grieve

-You impress the community with your rhetorical skill

-You bring the spirits of the dead to rest

Take +1 forward acting on the results.

Hi Gauntleteers! I’ve got a couple Dungeon World questions:

1) At the start of Discern Realities there was a lot of talk about compendium classes, but it has been a while and I’m not sure where to go looking for some good ones. I have a fighter in a game I’m running who is looking for some more social skills and I was thinking compendium classes could help.

2) Is there some kind of monster manual for DW I can buy? I’m running a very improv heavy game with Perilous Wilds and would like something high quality that I can quickly reference.

Hi all, I’m running a campaign for some very busy professionals across some big time zone differences, and I’m looking to move to a game that will be flexible for players to drop in and out of. I’m thinking something mission based like Blades in the Dark or The Sprawl would be a good choice but I thought I would ask all you smart people in case there were some cool alternatives I missed.

I was asked to run a session of Dungeon World this morning with zero prep just after waking up and thanks to Jason Cordova’s labyrinth move the dungeon crawl went pretty well! It was my first time trying the move after hearing about it on Discern Realities months ago, so I was pumped to give it a shot, and it did not disappoint! Thanks to the DR guys for sharing!

Hey there everyone, I’m running a game of Urban Shadows for the first time and have one player set on playing the Aware. I’m having a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around this archetype other than as the character who is in over their head. Any advice on how to integrate this character and help the player feel like they are a meaningful part of the game?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for an alternate system to play in the Numenera setting after playing the recent PC game.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for an alternate system to play in the Numenera setting after playing the recent PC game. Does anyone have any handy suggestions? I’m looking for something more story games style but nothing is leaping to mind.
