Hey Gauntleteers, today is the release of Henshin!, a storytelling tabletop game inspired by the Japanese superhero genre sentai. Henshin! is an accessible, fiction-focused episodic game about transforming into masked heroes to deal with monsters and personal problems.
You’ll find the free-to-play PDF, podcast, and other materials at henshingame.com. Thanks to the artists, playtesters, and of course co-creator Sam Kusek!

Thanks to Michael G.
Thanks to Michael G. Barford and josh gary for a thrilling session of Firebrands! We had three hours of tense, intimate, exciting play (plus mechs). We had a great discussion afterward about how the game handles narrative authority with question prompts and scripts, such as during the damn cozy mini-game of “Stealing Time Together”.
Prompts with scripted responses help players step out of their usual comfort zone by knowing they have tools for intimacy right there on the page, and they won’t overstep a boundary because the recipient has scripted responses right there. Funny thing, one of my side gigs is leading comprehensive health and sexuality curriculum for kiddos (and I believe Meg leads the same curriculum!), and a mini-game like this reads as a consent workshop activity right out of my lessons with high schoolers. And hey, once you don’t need those tools, you can improvise and know they are there as a backup.
Long story short, we all felt pretty comfortable using these tools for characters to get close when they weren’t in a firefight. I hope to put this back on the calendar soon!
It’s a sweet episode 16 of Dogs in the Vineyard AP with Noah Jay-Bonn!

So Noah and I have taken turns playing a separate Dog in this series, Terrence for him and Clementine for me. After all these episodes of each Dog on their own path, this time Brother Terrence finally meets his counterpart under unlikely circumstances…

Reporting back from Gauntlet Portland, here’s a look back at what’s been at the table lately:
– A series of World Wide Wrestling that culminated in a Championship Belt and a touching funeral
– A series of Dungeon World run by Noah Jay-Bonn set amidst the dark and icy Whispering Wall
– Another session of The Indie Hack set in the world of Yoon-Suin, complete with some truly awesome crab-folk brawls
– A return of Firebrands: Mobile Frame Zero, which continues to be my love letter to Gundam Wing
– A gripping and immersive play of Witch: The Road to Lindisfarne, and yes, the Witch was guilty, and no, others unwittingly let her go free
– A series of Masks: A New Generation run by Klint Finley complete with a dojo showdown and teen drama
Thank you to all the awesome players and folks who have pitched in!

We join Brother Terrence Witt, who now leads a band of young upstarts on a mission. Will these other Dogs follow the cool-headed Witt, or is that fire in their eyes burning too hot?

It’s lucky Episode 13 of Dogs in the Vineyard for Comic Strip AP!
It’s lucky Episode 13 of Dogs in the Vineyard for Comic Strip AP! Co-host Noah Jay-Bonn is running games at GameStorm in Portland, so I’ll take a moment to dive into this episode. I’m playing Sister Clementine, and I re-visit the very first town from the very first episode of this series. Even if it’s your first time listening, Noah made sure the gravitas and weight of decisions already made permeated the environment. Let us know your thoughts on the comments!

Alright, this episode of Dogs in the Vineyard Comic Strip AP really captured for me the morality at stake in a game about not-Mormon pioneers in sorta-Utah. Big props to Noah Jay-Bonn for holding his own in a tense conflict!

It’s Episode 12 of Dogs in the Vineyard with Noah Jay-Bonn! We are continuing the story of Brother Terrence Witt following last episode’s flashback. And folks: I felt a bit unsettled after hearing myself play the part of his father, the Elder Witt. He’s a side of the order of Dogs that is not the most pleasant!
Let us know your thoughts in the chat below!
