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)

Urban Shadows: The Chosen and the Beautiful (Session 2)

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

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.
