I like the Gauntlet for the obvious foremost reasons we all do. We talk about games and we play tons of them.

I like the Gauntlet for the obvious foremost reasons we all do. We talk about games and we play tons of them.

But I also like the Gauntlet for its spirit. It’s a place of inclusion and progressive thinking. Here all are welcome no matter their color, gender, or sexual preference. Here people respect each other and cultivate a peaceful and mindfull atmosphere.

This is a place of hope for us all. Hope that humanity can get better if we decide to practice more good behaviors rather than follow the bad influences seen in other social media realms.

Let’s all continue down this path. It’s a good one I think.

So I’ve started to draw again! I’m working on a multi-level inn in a city with canals (Dominico Castafiel may have spend a few nights there). I’ll post something when i’ve inked it. This is giving me life!!

When I was younger, I drew a lot. Sadly, I’ve left that behind. Here are a few of the things I did like maybe 8 or 10 years ago. Feal free to use them in your games if you like. 😉

So this a bit off-topic so please forgive me but who’s going to see Rogue One on Friday?

Only a few months back, I knew nothing about indie games and story games.

I was browsing on DriveThruRPG and falled upon Dungeon World. Then by luck, I dicovered the Discern Realities Podcast. This fired a series of dicoveries.

DW was based on the Apocalypse World engine. Apocalypse World had several game based on it. These games where all part of a big family of games in the indie scene.

Then I started to follow The Gauntlet Podcast from episode 0. (I’m at episode 28 now when Jason is about to move away from Houston). That’s when I realized there was a huge slice of rpgs I knew nothing about.

After years a trad. gaming my gaming flame had died out. I thought it was because I had less time because of adult and fatherly concerns. But in reality it was because trad. games wherent given me any satisfaction as a grown adult who had seen it all and played it all.

Indie and story games fascinate me now.

Yes in part because it’s all new and new is sexy. But more importantly it’s because they are not products of consommation but products of people. Real people that love gaming.

These games are works of art. The rules. The settings. The themes addressed.

I wanted to take a few minutes to say thanks in the best way I could to all of you for making my life a bit more magical. The rpg flame is burning bright again!

Happy Holidays to all of you! 💜✌
