Gauntlet Calendar

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. In this session, Raven (the Vigilant), Kite (the Volatile), and Jessica (the Gearcutter) track the strange lights in the sky to the forbidding giant forest called The Pillars, ally with the Orchid-Eaters who live there, encounter deadly Wolves of the Maelstrom.

Star Wars Saturday

Stars in the Dark: Season 4 (Session 5)
Anders runs for Marc Majcher, Mark (they/them), Rich Rogers, and Steven Watkins
Sewer Crabs! - Trizi, Val, Tycho, and Bade try to set up a meeting between House Gilash and the Rebels on 1314. Will they pay the toll? Will they survive the sewer crabs? Will Bade punch someone in the face?

Gauntlet Reading Club

Hearts of Wulin: The Jasmine Throne (Discussion)
Steven S. runs for Chris Greenbriar, Jo Lene, and Michael D.

Hearts of Wulin: The Jasmine Throne (Character Creation)
Steven S. runs for Brandon Brylawski, Chris Greenbriar, Jo Lene, and Michael D.
The Gauntlet Reading Club puts together characters for our run of Hearts of Wulin inspired by Tasha Suri's The Jasmine Throne. We are introduced to travelling sage/gambler Dancing Magpie, lamia-in-human-form Black Jade, courtesan and spy Rose of Scarlet Coral, and resurrected governor-turned-rebel Crimson Moonlight. We then have some fun mashing them together like a perverse, violent game of The Sims.

Hearts of Wulin: The Jasmine Throne (Session 1)
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! Dancing Magpie is here to rescue her sister but meets Rose's boss instead. Crimson Moonlight makes a dangerous decision about an old love and Black Jade finds herself put into a difficult position about a new one.

Hearts of Wulin: The Jasmine Throne (Session 2)
Steven S. runs for Brandon Brylawski, Chris Greenbriar, Jo Lene, and Michael D.
The Gauntlet Reading Club continues our run of Hearts of Wulin inspired by Tasha Suri's The Jasmine Throne. Rose receives an offer from their master and Magpie finds herself unhappily involved with rebels. Things at the palace become difficult for Moonlight and Jade.
