ALIEN: Hope's Last Day (Session 1 of 2) Jason Zanes runs for David Jay, Jamila R. Nedjadi, Lowell Francis, and Robert Angus Our group of working class colonists return to Hadley's Hope only to find that something bad has happened, really bad. Even with his milky blood leaking out, the android Holroyd is unfazed. The tractor driver Singleton and the rest of the humans cope with building dread. The scientist Sigg examines a facehugger and the union rep MacWhirr is disturbed by the word Ovipositor. Monster of the Week: Pequosette in Winter (Sessions 2-3) Jesse A. runs for Darold Ross, Hannah, Jex Thomas, and Sherri In which the Breakfast Club pursue a Kindergnaw, Laney attempts to make contact for her sect, Manhattan talks somebody into doing the right thing, Harmonia just wants to help, and Fern just wants to hug it all out.

This one is for all the marbles, folks! Veil Fantasy (Session 3) Lowell Francis runs for Alun R., David Morrison, and Leandro Pondoc Opal begins to earn the displeasure of her Guild Master, Damsa gets caught up a feud, and the Demon finally gets a name. Last Fleet: Playtest (Session 1 of 3) David Morrison runs for Diana Moon, Donogh, Leandro Pondoc, and Zach In this session, we build the fleet itself - the last remnants of the navy and civilian ships from the capital planet of Helm and its colonies. Following the near annihilation of the human race by the Mneumotics, an inscrutable civilisation of insectile machines, the fleet has no alternative but to flee to the stars. We meet two of the officers aboard the Fleet's flagship, the Horizon Black. Commander Alisa Cascade, the acting CO of the Horizon Black following the assassination of the previous CO, wants the best for her crew but there are doubts if she is suited for a wartime command. Lieutenant Yunuen Soto is the Horizon Black's hard-edged helmswoman, willing to do whatever is necessary to triumph against the "Roaches". Also aboard the Horizon Black is the cocky Lt. Castor "Talos" Parata, a hotshot pilot with little regard for the chain of command. Finally, Porter Malik captains the pleasure yacht Don Juan, an incongruous oasis of luxury and excess in the fleet. Last Fleet: Playtest (Session 2 of 3) David Morrison runs for Diana Moon, Donogh, Leandro Pondoc, and Zach Whether by human error or technological treachery, the Fleet is lured into a Mneumotic ambush. Talos takes the fight to the Roaches, buying time for the Fleet to escape but risking his own life in the process. Commander Cascade and Lieutenant Soto expertly command the Fleet to minimise casualties, but their conflicting approaches bring them into conflict. And Porter Malik keeps the home fires burning, ready to receive the crew of the Horizon for some much needed R&R.

While they find out the identity of the Red Robin and their lieutenants, they find out there is more to this story than they first knew: an army veteran of the Marquisade has organized previous marks into a militia and is chasing them Red Robin into Eyrie territory...and right next to an ancient barrow mound and a bear's den. Afterlife: Wandering Souls (Session 2 of 4) Ludovico Alves runs for David Walker, Leandro Pondoc, Pearl Zare, and Sabine V. A dinner turns awkward when the host is revealed to be a bunch of caste imperialists and colonizers. The Tenebris reveals itself a cold and scorching place interrupted only by guzzling gasoline and drumming dragon riders. Finally, the Caverns of Salt and the Limbo within...but memories offer no solace. A recollection of destruction, a grand kelp forest, the funeral of a patriarch and a strange monolith at sea.

Iamon 'Giant Killer' confronts the Eorl's son over who should lead the Princess' escape, while Aedwen the Outlaw and and Bull the Commoner (with his mule 'Donkey') will accompany them.

Congratulations to the winner, Linda Codega (Southern Holler), and the three fabulous runners-up: Gabriel Robinson (Gift of the Sea), Natalie Ash (The Huntsman’s Feast), and Michael Van Vleet (A Warm and Pleasant Hum). You can read these and all the other entries on The Gauntlet Forums. We recorded a special podcast episode to announce and discuss the winner and runners-up, which you can listen to right here. We also announced that we will be Kickstarting THREE Trophy books early next year, and those three books are the focus of this blog post. Trophy Dark, Trophy Gold, Trophy Loom Here they are! These are mock-ups, and the images aren’t quite finalized, but you still get a good sense of what the books will look like. Each book will be 7”x10” hardcover, approximately 120 full-color pages, with a partial cloth binding, foil stamp, and ribbon bookmark. More about Trophy Dark What we were previously calling “original” or “core” Trophy is now called Trophy Dark. Trophy Dark is a game of dark fantasy and psychological horror, about doomed treasure-hunters exploring an environment that doesn’t want them there. It’s designed to be played as a one-shot, perfect for convention play or as a tragic side story in your regular, long-term game. Here’s what the Trophy Dark book will include:
More about Trophy Gold Trophy Gold is a game of desperate treasure-hunters exploring the lost and forgotten places of the world. It takes the core rules of Trophy Dark and expands them for use in a more traditional, long-term fantasy campaign. The game mashes together story game and OSR principles to create a gameplay experience that is fast, flexible, and deep. Here’s what the Trophy Gold book will include:
More about Trophy Loom Trophy Loom is a setting book for the world of Trophy. It will outline all the major places, people, and strange creatures of the shared world of Trophy Dark and Trophy Gold. There are a few key details you need to know about this book:
We’re very excited about Trophy Dark, Trophy Gold, and Trophy Loom. We have been working on this project for a long time, and we have been so humbled by all the folks taking this journey with us. These books are going to be very, very special, and we can’t wait to share them with you! Get updates on everything we’re doing with Trophy by following us on Twitter @trophyrpg and signing up for the mailing list. Trophy Dark and Trophy Loom cover art by Jesse Ross.

It leads them to southern Saxony only to have a confrontation on the autobahn with an 18-wheeler and a couple of genre required black SUVs. A moment of respite over a home cooked meal puts a team member's mother at risk before they track the monster back to its lair. There follows hacking, acrobatics, fights and a confrontation... Dungeon World: Rogues of Ravnica Alexi S. runs for Blake Ryan, Joshua Gilbreath, Ozric, and Tyler Lominack A motley crew of marginal Guild members—an Orzhov Vampire Paladin, a Dimir Vampire Thief, a Rakdos Human Wizard, and a Golgari Human Cleric—search for the secrets of the Deep Library below the streets of Ravnica, and steal a secret or two from each other along the way.

Hearts of Wulin: Autumn Willow (Session 1 of 2) Ludovico Alves runs for Greg G., Joey R., Pat P., and Richard C. The heroes of the land gather at the Silver Lake, as the Whispering Crane and Thunderous Ox face each other for the last time.
