Gauntlet Calendar

The Twilight Throne: Throne of Oblivion (Session 3 of 9)
Jesse A. runs for Darold Ross, Harry Coins, and Steven S.
Our Nobles cross through to an alternate version of the Underworld, to take Mikean, the Twin Soul, from The House of Blood and Bone.

Uncharted Worlds 2E: The Cluster (Session 3 of 8)
Alun R. runs for Grey and Joe F
As the crew take the Ace of Spades through the slipgate to Helicon we learn of the rumours of 'Slip Ghosts'. We also learn something of Gema and Riley's early lives during the week they spend in slipspace and the cramped quarters of the Ace force them together. On arrival Hub City holds many opportunities and one of them is nearly taken from the crew in the neon washed alleys of the under city, but deft skills and reckless driving get them safely back to the Ace. The job is carrying live cargo to Zandora, in the FERTILITY system, so it's a long trip to the outer system and the Zandoran slipgate...a trip during which the ship's scanner picks up a strange anomaly that Riley simply can't resist...

The Twilight Throne: The Throne of Oblivion (Session 4 of 9)
Jesse A. runs for Darold Ross, José Feito, and Steven S.
The Nobles confront The Blade of Tears and free Mikean to become the heir. A god is freed,and the Black Owl Sage is reunited with a false love. [Content warning: body horror, harm and danger to a pregnant person, pregnancy loss.]

Slayers: Dust (Session 3 of 3)
Donogh runs for Brandon Brylawski, Michael Pelletier, and Rich Rogers
Portents and premonitions of an apocalyptic nature spur the Slayers to seek help, for they intend to break into the Hold to hold Red Zach to account, for once and for all...

Delta Green: Divergence (Session 7)
Lowell Francis runs for Alun R., Horst Wurst, Paul Rivers, and Will H
The team deals with some of the fallout from their last mission and strange pressures begin to be applied. But the arrival of a new mission involving the death of another Delta Green team at the hands of a vanished DG agent sends them out to the Appalachian Mountains.

Godbound: Shattered Temples (Session 19)
Lowell Francis runs for Dan Brown, Patrick Knowles, Sherri, and Tyler Lominack
In the aftermath of the Storm's attack, the pantheon clean up, plan, and deal with their "prisoner." And some begin to deal with the question of their divinity and what that means.

Gauntlet Quarterly

Fate of the Faerie Queen (Session 7 of 10)
Shane runs for José Feito, Kyle H., and Lowell Francis
A rare Grimm Brothers manuscript that may hold secrets that will help defeat the Faerie Queen is on display at the Met Gala. But the characters are not the only ones hoping to steal it, and something terrible is lurking in the sculpture court, ready to tempt the A-list guests.

Old School Essentials: Against the Slavers (Session 5 of 12)
Mike Ferdinando runs for Harry Coins, Jim Likes Games, Joe F, and Tim Leitner
AD&D module A2: "Secret of the Slavers Stockade" (published in 1980) - Zalalaz, Topaz, Kaf, and Clintock have traced the slavers' activities to a stockade high in the Drachensgrab Hills. A chance encounter with an escaped captive shows a way into the fortress: Can our heroes slip inside without detection?

Fate of the Faerie Queen (Session 8 of 10)
Shane runs for José Feito, Kyle H., Lowell Francis, and Matthew Doughty
After successfully stealing the manuscript from the Met Gala, the characters get to "relax" and "enjoy some downtime", but must deal with the FBI, the Swiss Guard, a pissed off date, a donkey head, and the Queen herself.

Star Wars Saturday

Bade and Etema try to escape being arrested after their mission on 1314 while Bria and Boko plot to sell out an ally in a desperate attempt to save the crew.

Gravity Rip (Session 3 of 3)
Rich Rogers runs for Brandon Brylawski, Greg G., and Steven Watkins
The Warlord's Cup, a podracing invitational, takes place on the Iron Fist. Who wins? Who dies? Check out the titanic conclusion to the miniseries.

For a Few Creds More (Session 8)

Gauntlet How To

How to Sign Up for Gauntlet Online Sessions (A How To)
Lowell Francis
A short video for those folks interested in playing online ttrpg sessions with us on The Gauntlet Gaming Calendar.

Running Games on The Gauntlet (A How To)
Lowell Francis
​If you've played with The Gauntlet and are interested in running sessions on the calendar, this video runs through the basics.

Gauntlet Calendar

Uncharted Worlds 2E:Playtest - The Cluster (Session 1 of 8)
Alun R. runs for Grey, Jo Lene, Joe F, and Pawel S.
We meet the crew: Harper 'Sureshot' Wilkerson, the Clandestine/Scoundrel from the Advanced system Iota B7; Riley Perihelion the Academic/Personality from the Galactic system Deo Thesmophoros; and Gema, the Military/Vanguard from the Isolated Narsus system. We also meet their current passenger Sara Carpenter, of the Zandoran Carpenters, on her gap year exploring the eponymous Cluster. There's a robbery in progress, a bold entrance, and then a clinical response, while civilians are comforted and everything is recorded, just in case. Then, sloppy use of advance tech leads to a risk of de-pressurisation, a guest recognises someone who'd rather stay under the radar, and Sureshot's image gets broadcast to people who will not like what just happened...

Delta Green: Divergence (Session 6)
Lowell Francis runs for Alun R., Horst Wurst, Paul Rivers, and Will H
The team finally uncovers who is behind the killing, but pursuing them leads to a parking lot stabbing, a shoot out in a mall, and an agent trying to defuse a bomb using only the most minimal training.

Slayers: Dust (Session 1 of 3)
Donogh runs for Brandon Brylawski, Michael Pelletier, and Rich Rogers
We meet our Slayers on the trail of one Red Zach, a sorcerer of ill-repute who has abducted Gabrielle, a young woman with magical talents. They must return her to Dustbowl for the influential Mervin. Nearing The Hold where their quarry is fleeing, they are beset by Spectres in a gulch and must fight for their lives.

The Twilight Throne: The Throne of Oblivion (Session 2 of 9)
Jesse A. runs for Darold Ross, José Feito, and Steven S.
Our Nobles begin their plot, as they mingle with each other, and investigate the disappearance of their chosen Heir.

Godbound: Shattered Temples (Session 17)
Lowell Francis runs for Dan Brown, Patrick Knowles, Sherri, and Tyler Lominack
The pantheon considers their next steps, but the arrival of a delegation from the nearby kingdom forces them to consider their role in the greater world.

Gauntlet Quarterly

Fate of the Faerie Queen (Session 5 of 10)
Shane runs for José Feito, Kyle H., Lowell Francis, and Matthew Doughty

Fate of the Faerie Queen (Session 6 of 10)
Shane runs for José Feito, Kyle H., Lowell Francis, and Matthew Doughty
The characters fight their way into an abandoned Berlin amusement park in search of answers about their pasts and futures - but the things they learn will haunt them in the battles to come.

Star Wars Saturday

Bounty of the Week: For a Few Creds More (Session 5 of 5)
Will H runs for Anders, Chet, Rich Rogers, and Sabine V.
The crew of the Bright Beauty hunt down Raider, a clone trooper turned vicious mercenary on the war torn planet of Corsin. Can they stop Raider before he reaches his target, the rebel spy known as Whisper? Or will Zsinj & Black Sun cover their tracks? An explosive finale to the first part of this series.

Rascals (Session 1)
Rich Rogers runs for Anders, Cody Eastlick, and Steven Watkins
An old spec ops rebel team is pulled out of retirement to save an old friend on Vandor-1.
