Konstantyn harnesses the dark, Mia makes a friend, Yelena absolutely cleans house and Dylan deals with a contact corrupted by Vampiric Mesmerism. Against the Vampire Conspiracy: Ties of Blood (Session 4) Will H runs for Donogh, Puckett, and Sabine V. The Conspiracy makes a mistake and the operators seize upon it. Scrambling to hide their secrets, key files about EDOM's HMS Prosperine operation have been temporarily stashed in a gangster's storage depot, no questions asked. Some bribes get the team through the door - just in time for the Playboy's rivals to launch an attack on the compound! Delta Green: Divergence (Session 10) Lowell Francis runs for Alun R., Horst Wurst, Paul Rivers, and Will H The team finally forcibly confront the strangeness of the town and see further behind the veil. One team member is rescued and another wakes up with a corpse and little memory of events.

Gauntlet Quarterly Revenge of the Faerie Queen (Session 2 of 2) Shane runs for José Feito, Kyle H., Lowell Francis, and Matthew Doughty In the final session of the campaign, the characters have the Faerie Queen pinned down in a hotel basement, weakened and isolated.

Monsterhearts: Every Heart a Doorway (Session 2) Steven S. runs for David Morrison, Kae, Marleigh, and Sabine V. We are introduced to our final main character, Formorian Grace, and see our characters start their day at the Open Door Academy. Siren Jason puts on a show, Ghost Leigh has some unwelcome visions, and Bailey deals with their jealousy in a completely healthy manner. It's only the first session and we're already doing a musical interlude! Star Wars Saturday Burning Hearts (Session 3) Rich Rogers runs for Jo Lene, Sam Zimmerman, Sawyer Rankin, and Sherri A duel with a pirate captain, fomenting a small rebellion, and facing off against a TIE Fighter...all in a day for these Jedi. Stars in the Dark (Session 22) Anders runs for Marc Majcher, Mark (they/them), Rich Rogers, and Steven Watkins New Crew?! - Things take a turn as the father of Bria's son shows up and Etema goes on tour! Less action but a lot of discussion about the future of the crew. I guess we're heading into season three?

Only one more week until our next Gauntlet Community Open Gaming event, taking place March 24th - 27th. This online gaming weekend is completely free and open to everyone. Please visit the Gauntlet Community Open Gaming page for more information, and we hope to see you there! Gauntlet Calendar Cthulhu Dark: The Black Drop (Session 2 of 2) David S runs for Brandon Brylawski, Jason Zanes, and Nicholas Timperio The investigators' expedition to the Kerguelen Islands has gone horribly wrong. Having barely survived their first night on the main island, critical decisions must be made around who to trust and where to travel as time races toward the inevitable transit of Venus. Will the God of the Black Stone be banished for another thirty years, or will they finally rise and end civilization as we know it? Uncharted Worlds: The Cluster (Session 6 of 8) Alun R. runs for Grey, Joe F, and Pawel S. Despite discovering a 'city ship' in the anomalous space they find themselves in, the crew opt to make contact with one of the centuries old cruisers dating from Narsan civil war. There's automated defences, stacks of sleep pods, and data that takes so long to download that some of the sleep pods wake up. Then, Gema faces off against the Narsan marines, while Sureshot considers ambushing them, before Riley works their 'personality' magic...and the city ship is almost organic in construction... Dungeons & Dragons 5E: Strixhaven: A Syllabus of Shadows (Session 2) Lowell Francis runs for Francisco Olivera, Matthew Arcilla, Nicholas Timperio, and Vince Our students settle into their new, barely-held-together-through-magic dormitory. Then there's the first day of classes in which they get to discover the quirks and penchants of their new instructors. That day concludes with the appearance of the seemingly sinister new headmaster, their teacher for "Introduction to the Dark World," and his unexpectedly tempting offer. Godbound: Shattered Temples (Session 21) Lowell Francis runs for Dan Brown, Patrick Knowles, Sherri, and Tyler Lominack The godbound heroes returns from defeating the Corrupted Storm, third of the Elemental Evils, and begin to plan their next efforts. But they're interrupted by a petition from an Emperor, begging for their aid against a demon goddess in exchange for turning their Empire's devotion to their new pantheon. Revenge of the Faerie Queen (Session 1 of 2) Shane runs for José Feito, Kyle H., Lowell Francis, and Matthew Doughty The characters overthrew the Faerie Queen before she could conquer the Earth, but they've barely arrived back on the mortal plane when a shocking murder makes them realise none of their families or loved ones are safe. They head to a faded Beaux-Arts hotel for a final confrontation with old and new enemies. Gauntlet Reading Club Every Heart a Doorway Discussion Group Steven S. facilitates for Brandon Brylawski, David Morrison, Kae, and Sabine V. For this segment of the Gauntlet Reading Club, the group discusses Seanan McGuire's Every Heart a Doorway, a story about what happens after the portal fantasy ends. The group discusses the genre of the portal fantasy, trauma, and the teenage experience. The latter part of the discussion focuses on adapting the book to a roleplaying game, considering what games that might suit the feel and tone of Every Heart a Doorway and the ways that our chosen game, Monsterhearts, does and doesn't work with the book. If you would rather skip the parts where we talk about Every Heart a Doorway, you can go directly to our discussion of adapting it here. Monsterhearts: Every Heart a Doorway (Character Creation) Steven S. runs for David Morrison, Kae, and Sabine V. We create characters for our run of Monsterhearts inspired by Seanan McGuire's Every Heart a Doorway. Introducing Ghost Leigh, a former sweeper at the Carnival of Sorrows, Infernal Bailey, a pet among Masters in Belonging Outside Belonging, and Siren Jason, an exiled performer among the gods of Mount Olympus. Urban Shadows 2e: The Chosen and the Beautiful (Session 3) Steven S. runs for David Morrison, Kae, and Maria M. Continuing to get my backlog cleared out, we return to the gang as they deal with fallout of last week's events. Dante becomes more entangled in the Wentworths' business even while Asmodeus gets closer to his found family. Red tries to keep his vision from coming true. Cleo takes steps to protect her lover and daughter. Star Wars Saturday Burning Hearts (Session 2) Rich Rogers runs for Jo Lene, Sam Zimmerman, Sawyer Rankin, and Sherri Our fledgling Jedi assault an Imperial garrison, make odd alliances, and discuss fomenting a rebellion. Stars in the Dark (Session 21) Anders runs for Marc Majcher, Mark (they/them), Rich Rogers, and Steven Watkins It's All About Kernoc - Bria has lured the feared Black Sun assassin Kernoc into the middle of a stormtrooper assault on the Scrapyard. Will this be enough to slow her down, or will the slippery killer return again to threaten the crew? If I tell you anything more about what happens you'll know the answer to that question so I won't, but you won't believe what happens next! What's so tempting about the Dark Side? (Session 2) Rich Rogers runs for Danielle B., Greg G., and Kae In the second and final installment, the Jedi face their darkest fears. Secrets discovered! Betrayal! And ultimately...painful truths.

Registration is now open for our next Gauntlet Community Open Gaming event, taking place March 24th - 27th. This online gaming weekend is completely free and open to everyone. Please visit the Gauntlet Community Open Gaming page for more information, and we hope to see you there! Gauntlet Calendar Cthulhu Dark: The Black Drop (Session 1 of 2) David S runs for Brandon Brylawski, Jason Zanes, and Nicholas Timperio In the year 1937, a small team of investigators makes a final voyage to the Kerguelen Islands in the South Indian Ocean. Their goals are simple enough: Spend two weeks helping a few families pack up the colony and prepare to depopulate the island. However, something slowly gathers strength beneath the frozen basalt of the remote Kerguelen archipelago - a monstrous thing once worshiped and then betrayed, a terrible god from the antediluvian past. Its time has come again, and mysterious forces gather. Will they usher in its rebirth - or put an end to it forever? Uncharted Worlds: The Cluster (Session 5 of 8) Alun R. runs for Grey, Joe F, and Pawel S. After getting paid, Sureshot has a couple of weeks on a dude ranch where he picks up a lead on a risky, but potentially very well paid, job (that's even legal!). It's an expedition to the planet's south pole where explorers kept disappearing until the Zandorans decided they weren't sufficiently interested to keep sending people down there. Meanwhile, Gema and Riley have a less productive couple of weeks recovering from their injuries. There's an automated interdiction broadcast, energy cannon fire, and some fancy flying. Then, a beam of anomalous energy, a disorientating transition, and a sky with no stars...before we learn much more of history of Gema's people (and their real name). Delta Green: Divergence (Session 9) Lowell Francis runs for Alun R., Horst Wurst, and Will H The team locates a survivor of the previous Delta Green operation in the area and learns just how far the infectious surveillance capitalism spreads throughout the community. After discussion, two agents try to worm their way to the top while another buys a ID to get into the local grow-house. Dungeons & Dragons 5E: Strixhaven: A Syllabus of Shadows (Session 1) Lowell Francis runs for Francisco Olivera, Matthew Arcilla, Nicholas Timperio, and Vince Our new students arrive for their first day at the legendary school for magic, but things do not go well when mysterious black marbles and the instructor for arcane assassins send them fleeing across campus. This Night On the Rooftops: January 2022 (Session 1) Steven S. runs for David S, Nicholas Timperio, and Puckett We make characters, and the kids pull off a daring walnut heist. This Night On the Rooftops: January 2022 (Session 2) Steven S. runs for David S, Nicholas Timperio, and Puckett A bunch of grown adults spend an hour doodling a tree house. Also, the kids get up to some hijinks at the market! Tree house doodle here. This Night On the Rooftops: January 2022 (Session 3) Steven S. runs for David S, Nicholas Timperio, and Puckett The kids visit a bougie cheese shop while on their best behavior and, after some unrelated cheese-based chaos, pay a visit to the local witch! This Night On the Rooftops: January 2022 (Session 4) Steven S. runs for David S, Nicholas Timperio, and Puckett At last, an old school dungeon dive! The kids explore the canal's depths for a sign of the Tired God. Dungeon doodle here. Against the Vampire Conspiracy: Ties of Blood Part 1 & Part 2 Will H runs for Alun R., Donogh, Puckett, and Sabine V. Fresh from their success with the Teutonic vampire Simon Throndal, Dylan & Mia investigate the legacy of Abraham Van Helsing - alongside one of his descendants, Yelena. Joined by burned and possibly cursed academic Konstantin, this new group of operators set their sights on the veins and arteries of the Conspiracy's genetic projects... Godbound: Shattered Temples (Session 20) Lowell Francis runs for Dan Brown, Patrick Knowles, Sherri, and Tyler Lominack The pantheon gather themselves together to finally strike back at the Lord of the Corrupted Storm and learn dark secrets of the Cloud Giant despots. And Tasos transforms someone into a tax assessor by crushing them. Gauntlet Quarterly Fate of the Faerie Queen (Session 10 of 10) Shane runs for José Feito, Kyle H., Lowell Francis, and Matthew Doughty The characters have travelled to the Queen's home turf, and face incredible dangers as they try to rouse her people against her. But while they may win the battle, only a face to face confrontation between the Queen and the Princess can end the war. Old School Essentials: Against the Slavers (Session 7) Mike Ferdinando runs for Harry Coins, Jim Likes Games, and Tim Leitner AD&D module A2: "Secret of the Slavers Stockade" (published in 1981) - Zalalaz, Kaf, and Clintock push deeper into the Slave Lords' fortress and encounter true horrors... Gauntlet Reading Club The Chosen and the Beautiful: Discussion (spoilers) Steven S. runs for David Morrison, Kae, and Maria M. Urban Shadows: The Chosen and the Beautiful (Session 1) Steven S. runs for David Morrison, Kae, and Maria M. Char gen and play - Davis "Bricks" Brichese is pulled into a scheme to con the Wentworths, Byron "Red" Emmett Reddington Prescott V gets involved in other people's business, and Cleo Lim makes a deal with something dark and dangerous. Urban Shadows: The Chosen and the Beautiful (Session 2) Steven S. runs for David Morrison, Kae, and Maria M. Dante and Cleo pull an art heist and Red finds himself drawn into his benefactor's underworld dealings. Star Wars Saturday Burning Hearts Forever (Session 1) Rich Rogers runs for Jo Lene, Sam Zimmerman, Sawyer Rankin, and Sherri The learners of Doyen Cere Junda get mixed up with a metal band's antics and some Imperial entanglements. Stars in the Dark (Session 20) Anders runs for Marc Majcher, Mark (they/them), Rich Rogers, and Steven Watkins The crew tries to deal with the impending destruction of their hideout as well as the Force artifact, and Bria makes a fateful choice. What's so tempting about the Dark Side? (Session 1) Rich Rogers runs for Danielle B., Greg G., and Kae Three young Jedi capture a Sith...now what do they do with her? Weird West Gun & Slinger (Session 2 of 3) Donogh runs for Rich Rogers and Sabine V. The Gun & Slinger head to Hallow, where the monument rocks have formed arches over the gathered pilgrims, a chance encounter over a piano brings the song in Clock's brain to the fore, and Fr. Rodrigo reveals a past connection they never suspected... On the road back to Dustbowl, a Twister drawn by the song strikes at them, and then the man of sand and silence and shadow follows.

Gauntlet Playtesting Weekend Vow of the Knight-Aspirants: Into the Bleakwood Alexi S. runs for Brandon Brylawski, David L., Greg G., and Marc Majcher In the very first playtest of a new game, we follow a quartet of squires venturing into a dark fairy tale wood to prove themselves worthy of knighthood. Bronwen strikes down a wolf that turns out to be a cursed man. Lancer recovers tome full of spells and considers whom it rightly belongs to. Ozadeam glimpses a terrible future and works to prevent it. Caelia taunts an angry mob and a bitter sorceress to buy time and space for her allies. Icebox: Timeline Marc Majcher runs for Erez, Jim Likes Games, Pat P., and Sebastian Deterding In our first online playtest of Icebox: Timeline, we learned a bucketload of interesting things about the post-Deviation journey of the Sequoia, including the secret cloning project of the mission leaders, the cells of resistance that grew into fullness over several hundred years, and why you always want an uplifted chimpanzee in your air ducts. 😄 Thanks so much to our players for helping to bring I:T from the tabletop to the onlines! Gauntlet Calendar Devil's Dreams Donogh runs for Blake Ryan, Brandon Brylawski, David Schultz, and Horst Wurst An unexpected pregnancy, a mining collapse, and dark visions of death creep into the dreams of these few villagers. But their dreams come from the Devil, and are a foretelling of the future... Uncharted Worlds 2E: The Cluster (Session 4 of 8) Alun R. runs for Grey, Joe F, and Pawel S. We discover what Harper was doing while Gema and Riley were fighting off a gang in the neon washed alleys of Hub City before fast forwarding to the surface of Zandora. This is the principle world of the Fertility system, with its implausibly large number of garden worlds. Riley's star power fails, Gema's silent menace speaks eloquently, and Harper remembers the Zandoran cowboy tri-dees of his childhood. A local vet helps with an increasingly wakeful problem before there's a chance to experience local culture. Then...rumours of a hollow planet, a train, and a robbery...and a 'dinosaur' on the loose. Delta Green: Divergence (Session 8) Lowell Francis runs for Alun R., Horst Wurst, Paul Rivers, and Will H The team begins to investigate Hoachapoka, AL and right away walk into the lion's mouth between a spotted surveillance drone and a roadside shakedown by cops.

Old School Essentials: Against the Slavers (Session 6) Mike Ferdinando runs for Harry Coins, Jim Likes Games, and Tim Leitner AD&D module A2: "Secret of the Slavers Stockade" (published in 1981) - Zalalaz, Topaz, Kaf, and Clintock continue their infiltration of the slavers' stronghold, and sneak their their way into the main fortress...they have thus far evaded detection, but for how much longer? Star Wars Saturday Bounty of the Week: For A Few Creds More (Finale) (Session 9 of 9) Will H runs for Anders, Paul Rivers, Rich Rogers, and Sabine V. SHOWDOWN ON KAMINO! PANDIT MORG, the padawan turned BLACK SUN crimeboss, strikes back! The Crew of the Bright Beauty do one last job but this time, it's personal. Can they rescue BLX-1?
