Have a Familiar Ring Lowell Francis runs for Puckett, Sabine V., Scot Ryder, and Sherri We tell the tale of a wizard from a 1980s where magic has risen in response to Thatcher and Reagan, as she and her three familiars work to preserve a park in the face of corporate expansion. Gauntlet Hangouts The Dying World: Playtest Jamila R.

Everything comes to a head as they struggle to save a Diwata! Apocalypse World: Wreckage (Sessions 1-2 of 4) Kyle H. runs for Dan Brown, David Jay, Jim C., and Richard Moser Band of Blades (Session 6) Leandro Pondoc runs for Chris Newton, Dan Pucul, Matt Phillips, and Patrick Buechner Despite the losses, the Legion refuses to bow down against terrible odds. To the north of Sunstrider Camp, a mythical wolf seethes with blight. To the south, a bandit wearing a Vulture's cloak dares to proclaim the Legion mortal, ineffective, unworthy. As the undead force continues to force their hand, the Legion is faced with the task of finding out what exactly they fight for. Bite Marks: Northern Souls (Session 2 of 3) David Morrison runs for Bethany H., Bryan, and Kyle H. While Garrett is busy making preparations for the new club night, Fran helps out by spreading some buzz in town. Jax meets a visitor from out of town who expresses an interest in the pack's business.

They avoid the siren call of its Leviathan guardians and make their way up to the prison the island hosts.

There they get a harsh reminder of the victims they have left along the way...

Padawans in the Vineyard (Session 2 of 4) Rich Rogers runs for Alexi S., Eli S., Leah Libresco Sargeant, and Steven Watkins The padawans deal with a young Bothan who has been tempted by the Dark Side. Will they save him? Bounty of the Week: It's a Living (Session 1 of 3) David Miessler-Kubanek runs for Bryan, Rich Rogers, Sabine V., and Tony H Old Debts - Bounty Hunters successfully overcome a bounty's computer virus before capturing him aboard a luxury spaceliner and turning him in for payment. The hunters then took on the next job to hunt down Ree-Yees. He was once a member of Jabba the Hutt's court on Tatooine, and is now on Cloud City, Bespin getting ready for an operation to change his appearance and fix his hands to live a new life post-Jabba. Enter the hunters, ready to rock his world--cliffhanger due to a shorter event. Gauntlet Comics Masks: Polychromatic Alliance (Issue 0) Sawyer Rankin runs for David Morrison, Sabine V., Sydney, and Will H Our team is set, meet Artemis & the Nobodies - our Legacy Artemis who is questioning their gender identity, especially in a Legacy made up of Amazons. Our dynamic duo Null & Void, the Janus and Joined, who are brothers fighting justice behind masks! And our liminal Doomed Holo who is a projection from the American Empire into our world played. In our debut we fight off some of the Dead End Queens who are smashing up AEON. Masks: Polychromatic Alliance (Issue 1) Sawyer Rankin runs for David Morrison, Sabine V., Sydney, and Will H A week later the team has started off figuring out some plans to deal with information gathered by Null. This leads to some Hazmat suits, a trip to the Hollowed Park, and discoveries that are quite...unique. A new Scion of Loki is discovered with gloves that are similar in make to Rubble Rouser's. The Artemis deals with their Legacy being tarnished while Void gets a visit from an old friend. Null heads deeper into AEON to help Holo while Holo is quarantined in his Sanctuary. Hopefully a vaccine is soon coming. Masks (Session 2) Rich Rogers runs for Alexi S., Leah Libresco Sargeant, Sawyer Rankin, and Sherri The team decides to throw their own party to spite Donny D, that nefarious so and so! That's why jetpack-wearing cybermonkeys attacked, of course. Gauntlet Hangouts Beam Saber: The Millenium War (Session 2 of 5) Leandro Pondoc runs for Alex, Puckett, Sabine V., and Sawyer Rankin After a ferocious battle over a farm, driving back the Exalted Mandate's Winnowers, the Queen's Venom get back to base only to deal with opaque higher-ups, corporate bullies and, most distressingly of all, defining their relationships with each other. Liminal: Scarborough Blake Ryan runs for Pearl Zare and Will H Band of Blades (Session 5) Leandro Pondoc runs for Chris Newton, Dan Pucul, Matt Phillips, and Patrick Buechner In the open plains of Aldermark, perched at Sunstrider Camp, one can almost imagine the continent swallowing the Legion whole. But with the threat of a mighty horse lord lending his legendary firemanes to the Cinder King, the Legion will have to stand tall and keep paying the costs of war to endure. Legacy: Life Among the Ruins (Session 2 of 8) Lowell Francis runs for Alun R., David Morrison, Leandro Pondoc, and Rye Drawn from four divergent factions, our PCs descend into a crater populated by heretics in search of the Magma Opus and more, only to find their purposes and interests at odds. ALIEN: Chariot of the Gods (Hack) (Session 2 of 4) Jason Zanes runs for Jamila R. Nedjadi, Leandro Pondoc, Richard Moser, and Steven Watkins Things go from bad to worse. A xenomorph attacks poor technician Rye and then the ships computer shows its true colors. Captain Miller orders people to hurry up, pilot Davis gets crazy behind the wheel, and roughneck Cham rolls with the punches. BALIKBAYAN: This is our Revolution (Sessions 1-2 of 4) Jamila R. Nedjadi runs for Bethany H., Diana Moon, Leandro Pondoc, and Puckett Bite Marks: Northern Souls (Session Zero) David Morrison runs for Bethany H., Bryan, Kyle H., and Puckett This series of Bite Marks is set in the fictional suburb of Huntersley, in the northern industrial city of Sheffield in the early 1970s. In this session, we work together to create our werewolf pack, and flesh out the bonds between them and the world they inhabit. Garrett Heath is the pack Alpha; recently made redundant from a steel mill, he is determined to forge a better future for the pack, and is drawn by the opportunities of the burgeoning Northern Soul club scene. Jax is his right-hand man and the pack Fixer; from a mining family, he is connected in both the human and werewolf worlds, and makes a living skirting the law. Jo Hammond is a Prodigal; she left the pack when her secret was discovered, and has been focusing on her nursing job until recent events drew her back. Finally, Fran Flynn is still a Cub, the newest member of the pack; the events of her turning shrouded in mystery, she is looking to find a place with the pack. Bite Marks: Northern Souls (Session 1 of 3) David Morrison runs for Bethany H., Bryan, Kyle H., and Puckett The Pack go on a full moon hunt in the Peak District. Jo struggles to regain control of her wolf nature. Jax aids Garrett in springing an ambush, and Garrett sees off a rival. Meanwhile Fran seems to be adapting well to her new life. But there are inklings the Pack may be facing a new threat, even as Garrett begins to plan for the future. Fellowship: The Sunset of Giants (Session 1 of 4) Rye runs for Parham Doustdar, Pawel S., Sabine V., and Sawyer Rankin In this game of Fellowship, the players are agents of the Federation of Carsak who have been sent to discover the Apostle's (Overlord) weakness and destroy her before she can bring about the Federation's ruin. In this session we complete character creation, establish the world and create bonds with each other and the Overlord. The characters then encounter Unger a huge monstrous centipede in the service of the Apostle who has been forced into waylaying caravans to hinder the Federation. Fellowship: The Sunset of Giants (Session 2 of 4) Rye runs for Parham Doustdar, Pawel S., Sabine V., and Sawyer Rankin In this game of Fellowship, the players learn from Unger, a huge monstrous centipede, that she is being forced to do the Apostle's (Overlord) bidding because her mate and brood are being held captive. The players talk their way past several stone trolls and confront the Honor Bound Lesenya to free Unger's mate and brood from the overlord's clutches. Rapscallion: The 8th Pirate King (Session 1 of 4) Alun R. runs for Paul Rivers, SalamanderJames, Sawyer Rankin, and Will H Captain Klaus and his crew run into difficulties while looking for the key to becoming the 8th Pirate King. Morgana the Matelot intervenes to protect a crewmate but causes a fire to break out, while the Captain organises an ineffectual bucket chain and Percy the Mountebank comes to the rescue with the aid of his demon, 'Grandfather'. Later young Lucia the Swashbuckler earns her pirate stripes by craching through a window to help kidnap of an informant from under the nose of rival Captain Magda. Rapscallion: The 8th Pirate King (Session 2 of 4) Alun R. runs for Paul Rivers, SalamanderJames, Sawyer Rankin, and Will H The crew of The Black Cat are pursued through a storm by angry Captain Magda's ship, The Uncanny Walrus. While the first cannonade favours the Walrus Captain Klaus orders 'Ramming Speed'. In the boarding action that follows Lucia the Swashbuckler buckles her swash while Morgana the Matelot shows how potent her fire-breathing can be. Percy feeds his demon with Captain Magda's life and the Captain takes crew and treasure to the Black Port of the Unquiet Dead...for a peaceful shoreleave...

Enjoy, and have a great weekend!  By Sabine V 1. Serenade of Thorns (Masks, a New Generation, by Brendan Conway), the Weapon (playbook by Ennis R. Bashe), later the Transformed. Played for 23 sessions. The Serenade of Thorns was a runaway from the Dreaming Heaven Choir, a strange cult who had given them the Serenade Implant – an alien device that would intertwine with their body – as an infant and used them as a violent tool. When I first played them, they were shy, unsure about themselves and their role in the world, and had a hard time connecting with others. That changed, and by the end, they were a moral compass, had made a lot of friends and some enemies, and started integrating fully with their Implant. Serenade of Thorns was honest, and a badass, and afraid to hurt those they cared about, and I loved playing them completely. Just the right mix of teenage insecurities, guilt-ridden warrior and culturally puzzled outsider! (I even wrote a backstory fan-fiction for them.) 2. Tiger-Eye (Hearts of Wulin, by Lowell Francis), the Rebel Outlaw. Played for 10 sessions. Tiger-Eye was a rebel leader in a Water-Margin-inspired setting. At the beginning, he had to avenge his father and bring down the cruel Custodian Tian, later he had to confront the evil Emperor himself. When I started playing Tiger-Eye, he was driven by honor and duty – so much so that he even sacrificed a woman he once loved to achieve his revenge. But after a series of grave and dramatic misunderstandings, he found love with an old friend and even understood that sometimes he had to stand back and let her take the spotlight. Tiger-Eye was dramatic and driven and an occasional wise-ass, and it was absolutely great to go from broody Robin Hood to devoted lover. 3. Pasithea (Once Again, We Return, Patrick Knowles’ hack of Monsterhearts by Avery Alder), the Bedlam (playbook by Sawyer Rankin); inspired by the ‘The Wicked and The Divine’ comics by Kieron Gillen. Played for 5 sessions. Pasithea was the Grace of Hallucinations and Altered Perceptions, and she was called into the body of Carvalin Davos by Luna for the Eternal’s own purposes. Together with the others who were called, Pasithea helped bring down the forces of the Sun and Moon and free Gaia from her oppressive parents. Mostly, though, she wanted to take drugs, have a good time, for her friends to be happy, and forget about painful reality completely. In the end, she let go of herself and turned into a hundred thousand butterflies. Pasi was sweet, and so very sad, but she never wanted her friends to see the sadness. And they didn’t, but they found happiness for themselves, and that was enough for Pasi in the end. Still makes me tear up, that one.  4. Iamon (Eotenweard, a hack of Michael Sands’ Monster of the Week by Alun Rees), the Monster Hunter. Played for 8 sessions. Iamon was a grim and silent Monster Hunter in early medieval Britain who got involved with politics and various monsters in the town of Synhamm. Initially little more than a vagabond, he became a trusted (if not overly well-paid) adviser to Eorl Wicluf, and in the end, married a princess in exile. It was fun playing this simple monster hunter who became more and more involved in politics, and – while not really ambitious – was proud enough to claim a place for himself. Even if he usually was a bit overwhelmed by his own success. 5. Sam Riles / Ursûl (DIE by Kieron Gillen), the Rage Knight. Played for 3 sessions (or one very long session) Sam was a bossy little black girl who was talked into playing D&D when she came down with chicken pox at summer camp. Later, Sam became a passionate environmentalist, driven by the cause, never putting down roots. When Sam reconnected with the former summer camp kids, one of those kids made the whole group come physically into the Hollow World – that’s when Sam became Ursûl, the Rage Knight. Ursûl was not happy about being manipulated by the Master, and he didn’t let anything get into his way. When Sam / Ursûl and the others confronted the Master, they all decided (more or less willingly) to go back to the real world. There, Sam finally understood that he was transgender, and – in the epilogue – was shown to have started transitioning. This was a very personal character – Sam’s rage really spoke to me, and Sam’s realization about his gender did as well (I’m not transgender, but I’m not a girl either). Also, the whole game was densely dramatic, and the stakes felt very real.  6. James Willoughby (Pride, Prejudice and Practical Magic, the Good Society variant by Haley Gordon and Vee Hendro), a Dowager coming from Old Money. Played for 4 sessions. James was a widower and a practitioner of magic – not very much favored by his father because he tended to be very playful and whimsical with his spells, unlike his sister, the stalwart and serious Lydia. During the game, Lydia and James met her illegitimate child by a fairy prince, a capricious but helpful artist and various fairies, witches and cats. The magic of this game was a lot of fun, and finding ways for James to both excel at his spells but be too unconventional with them was great fun. Also, I just love good-natured, bumbling uncles who find the strength to accept their own eccentricities, and that’s what James was. 7. Utri Dov’Sei (Star Riders, a hack of Michael J. Barford’s Stormriders, by Richard Rogers), a Jedi. Played for 2 sessions. Utri was a Bothan, a cat-like sentient with pale golden fur and a cat’s attitude. She was known for her snarky comments more than for her Jedi wisdom; but Star Riders was a kid’s cartoon series, so snarky comments, many naps, and occasional speeches about friendship were exactly what you could expect. Playing this funny cat Jedi was a blast, and I liked Utri’s whimsical peculiarities quite a lot. (So much, in fact, that I roped her into some Star Wars fanfic I wrote.) 8. Grask Tarvo (Witch Squadron, a hack of Jason Morningstar’s Night Witches, by Richard Rogers), a Sparrow misanthrope. Played for 3 sessions. Grask Tarvo was a Weequay pilot with the Alliance to Restore the Republic – because he was not human, he had to serve with all the other aliens in a special Squadron who usually were the last to get any stuff, let alone good stuff. Grask mostly tried to make the best of things, wheeling and dealing more or less successfully, but later developed some attachment to his team mates. I didn’t think I would like playing a misanthrope so much, but I had a lot of fun growsing and complaining about things. Also, slowly going from someone who is just out for himself to someone who actually cares about others was very cool. 9. Irjan Karjensen (Taverns of Aventuria, a hack of Simon Washbourne’s Barbarians of Lemuria, by Simon ‘korknadel’), a Rogue. Played for 1 session. Irjan was a scoundrel, and together with his friend Robart, he had appropriated a tavern! Of course, the first guest involved him and Robart in a strange adventure that led to a luxury yacht, a sad captured merman (who Irjan promptly fell in love with) and the underwater domain of the marking. In the end, he helped to save a city, more by accident than by design. Another rogue with a heart of gold! Irjan had a really fun dynamic with his best friend Robart; and the whole adventure felt like it had come from the good old times that never happened back them, but was happening here.  10. Falling Blaze (Hearts of Wulin, by Lowell Francis), Devoted Child. Played for 4 sessions.
Falling Blaze had an amazing arc from being a young and unimportant princess who secretly dreamed of falling in love with a pirate queen to becoming the actual Empress and leader of the people. I think she’s still dreaming of running away with a pirate queen. 11. Miru / Sunbeam (Masks, a New Generation, by Brendan Conway), the Outsider Miru was a friendly alien of the Eska people (inspired by C. Valente’s Space Opera) who wanted to see of humans were nice at all. He met some nice ones, some not-so-nice ones, fell in love with a blue-haired boy and saved the misunderstood villain – the Anti-Sentai-Squid, leader of the Anti-Sentai-Squad – from planet Earth. I might bring him back yet, he was so nice and sweet! 12. Lord Cedric Griffin, the Justice Phantom (Sense, Sensibility and Swordsmanship, a variant of Good Society, by Vee Hendro and Hayley Gordon), a Bounty Hunter careerist. Played for 4 sessions. Rooftop shenanigans, mistaken identities, murder, revenge, a misguided sister, a villainous mother … and love with the Lancashire Lover at last! Cedric mostly didn’t really know what was going on, and who was doing what with whom, but he stubbornly stayed his course and tried to protect the people of London! …. I don’t think he ever hunted a bounty, though. Honorary mentions: CG-5713, “Quake” was my favorite character last year. I got to play him again this year, re-imagined as a Hard Case in a Bounty of the Week game (a hack of Michael Sands’ Monster of the Week by Richard Rogers), for two sessions. He nearly gave up his live to fight a Dark Force user, but was convinced to at least try and stay alive by a friend. I still like this gruff, sarcastic guy with the dark past he’s still trying to grow beyond. Greetings, and welcome to the weekly Gauntlet Hangouts video roundup!

Also, did someone say Doro the politician? Hutt Cartel (Session 3) Rich Rogers runs for Keith Stetson, Leandro Pondoc, Scot Ryder, and Tyler Lominack Kingpin Skreet Mountbank advances on the Pyke Syndicate while supported by his new assassin and his Cook, but he's beset by the ISB in unexpected ways. Gauntlet Hangouts Band of Blades: The Legion at the Western Front (Session 3) Leandro Pondoc runs for Chris Newton, Dan Pucul, David Morrison, and Matt Phillips In the relatively-safe but suspicious climes of Plainsworth, the Legion deals with numerous highs and lows as they tally their dead, try to resupply their stores, try to divine the workings of Blighter's undead and battle a bandit monarch in the woods afar. Everything goes quite well until it doesn't. Last Fleet: Playtest (Session 3 of 3) David Morrison runs for Diana Moon, Leandro Pondoc, and Zach Bain Commander Cascade is obsessed with the new threat that has materialised, and her paranoia leads her to shut herself off from her fellow crewmembers. Lt. Soto stands strong in her convictions, though a moment of weakness exposes a dark secret. And Porter Malik prepares for an important function with his fellow Captains. One thing is certain - the evening will go off with a bang. The Alien Dark: Fiorina 161 Alun R. runs for Blake Ryan, Christopher G., SalamanderJames, and Will H (Content warning: some body horror.) The 7 person crew of the USCSS Lake are contracted by Eigen Disposals Inc. (EDI) to undertake a survey of the mothballed mining & ore processing facility on Fiorina 161. EDI are handing the sale of the site by Weyland-Yutani and need to confirm that the site conforms to the specification they've been given. This is 2 years after the escape pod from the USS Sulaco crash-landed on Fiorina 161, and the events of 'Alien 3'...not that the characters know anything about those events, which were covered up by Weyland-Yutani... Rhapsody of Blood (Sessions 1-2 of 2) Jamila R. Nedjadi runs for Bethany H., Charles Cordingley, Kristen, and Will I ran this to celebrate my birthday! It's easily one of my favorite systems, even though I've only played it a handful of times. Hope I can run a longer campaign later this year. Our players were fantastic and I had so much fun playing off everyone's great personal stories. Thirsty Sword Lesbians: Queen of Thieves (Part 1 of Session 3 of 4) Bethany H. runs for Chris Newton, Eli S., and Kristen D. Our heroes make a foolproof plan to deal with the sheriff and get the previous generation of witches and bandits on board. Nobody can sustain that level of responsibility for long, so then they go to a secret cave and dig up cursed items.
