Sleeping Gods: Tabletop Simulator (Session 1)
Vince runs for Chris R. and Sharon
Captain Sofi Odessa and the crew of the Manticore find themselves strangers in a strange land, and are challenged to awaken the sleeping gods of this world so they can return home to Earth. We play through the introductory scenario and stumble through the physics engine that is Tabletop Simulator just a little bit. Apologies on active speaker view in Zoom, thought I had changed my settings after my last video and must have forgotten to click 'save'.

The Veil: Iterations (Session 7)
Lowell Francis runs for Bethany H., Patrick Knowles, Sherri, and Tyler Lominack
The group learns a version of the dark history of the world, though the validity remains in question. They split to follow very different pursuits: musical industry manipulations, rot-based killings, and dollbots...leading to a luxury apartment, a stabbing, and an infiltrated emergency medical site.

Apocalypse World: Burned Over (Session 2)
Mike Ferdinando runs for Daniel Wallace (gtmanfred), David Miessler-Kubanek, and Marc Majcher
We conclude our two-part series of Apocalypse World: Burned Over.

We then have some fun mashing them together like a perverse, violent game of The Sims.

Steven S. runs for Brandon Brylawski, Chris Greenbriar, Jo Lene, and Michael D.
The Gauntlet Reading Club starts our run of Hearts of Wulin inspired by Tasha Suri's The Jasmine Throne, where everyone attends an execution!
