Gauntlet Sunday

Neo Shinobi Vendetta FitD (Session 1)
Lowell Francis runs for Jamila R. Nedjadi, Patrick Knowles, Puckett, and Steven S.

TGI Thursday

#iHunt (Session 1)
Lowell Francis runs for Jamila R. Nedjadi, Jason, Kyle H., and Sherri
We explore and come to understand the lives of our desperate monster hunters as they try to survive in a gig economy. There's some squicky teeth stuff too...

Fellowship: The Eyes of the Underlord (Session 1 of 5)
Chris Newton runs for Bethany H., Kyle H., and Pearl Zare
We've got a dwarf from a dark future with a knack for explosives and SCIENCE!, a visitor from the modern surface world who decided to stay, and a trickster halfling with a doggo to ride! They manage to escape an evil general's pursuit by semi-deft use of a stampede of rainbow-colored capybaras, audio feedback from a stolen communication device, and a perfectly reasonable amount of explosives.

Power Beyond Doubt (Session 1)
Rich Rogers runs for David Jay, Joe Zantek, Sawyer Rankin, and Sherri
Ten years have passed since the ending of our Masks series. We visit our adult heroes and allies in the new world.

Gauntlet Hangouts

Bite Marks | Dark Americana: Lone Star Falling (Session 3 of 3)
Sawyer Rankin runs for David Morrison, Jamila R. Nedjadi, Maria M., and Puckett
Content warning: violence, elements of body horror. In our finale, Colt finally goes camping with Freddy, Garrett dispenses wisdom (and Molotovs), Lincoln deals with the haunting presence of Mateo, and Accalia leads the Jessup Pack in the great confrontation. Situations are tense, emotions run high, and the wolves are thirsty (for blood, of course, what else would they be thirsty for? *wink*). (Note: ~30 minutes was lost to the void when Maria forgot to re-hit record, but there's a vague description of what happened written out!)

Hit the Streets: Defend the Block: Street Time (Session 2 of 3)
Dr. Jason Cox runs for Rich Rogers and Sam Z.

David Morrison runs for Jamila R. Nedjadi, Leandro Pondoc, Maria M., and Sabine V.
A sudden snowfall at the end of winter forces travellers to seek shelter at the dilapidated and abandoned Temple of the Heavenly Clouds. Sunset Reed, an agent of the Iron Hand Protection League, travels in disguise as the musician Distant Echo - returning to the temple for the first time since they helped destroy it. Master Jade Serpent and his loyal apprentice Elegant Aspen are stranded at the temple seemingly by chance - but there may be a darker design behind their visit. Finally, Five Feathers Dancer has wandered the earth since the destruction of the temple, haunted by a dark revelation about her family, and returns once more to the place she once called home. But they are not the only people seeking refuge in the ruins of the temple - or the secrets buried there.

Trophy Dark: Star Wars - The Sith Temple
Sabine V. runs for Rich Rogers, Scot Ryder, and Steven Watkins

BALIKBAYAN (Session 2)
Lowell Francis runs for Jamila R. Nedjadi, Puckett, and Tyler Lominack
Protecting a young friend leads our Elementals into a conspiracy to remake the dreams of the populace. Only by confronting the Heart of the City can they find a way to avert disaster.

Jamila R. Nedjadi runs for Maria M., Puckett, and Sherri

Girl By Moonlight: In Darkest Night (Session 4 of 4)

On the eve of apocalypse, as a harbinger from the future returns to Metropolis-7 to herald her arrival, three teenagers try to make a stand against the dark. Mal tries to find some relief in the mundane problems of a friend, Ysidro tries to untangle the consequences of the future and Anemone transcends.

Blades in the Dark: Vigilantes of Duskwall (Session 1)
Leandro Pondoc runs for David Morrison, Jim Likes Games, Sabine V., and Will H
Character and crew creation, fleshing out a recently-formed group of crimefighters, shadowy heroes looking out for the downtrodden, hoping to push back the dark and bring light to Doskvol's streets. What kind of heroes will we find amongst an aristocratic Lurk, a crimson-coated Cutter, a Whisper with ideas of grandeur and an experienced Spider?

Night Witches: The Epilogue Special
Jim Likes Games runs for Alexi S., Bethany H., Eli S., Leandro Pondoc, Maria M., Mike Ferdinando, and Puckett
We gather to celebrate the lives of our pilots and learn their fates after the war. This was an experiment to joyously wrap up our long-running campaign, and I like how it turned out.

Free from the Yoke (Session 1)
Lowell Francis runs for Darren Brockes, Jesse A., Josh H, and Tyler Lominack
The session zero for our tale of generational play and Slavic fantasy. We begin to explore how the horselords, teachers, forgers, and church will deal with the Arbiter's demands.

Hearts of Wulin: Court of Shadows (Session 1 of 4)
Lowell Francis runs for Del B., Dr. Jason Cox, Richard Moser, and Steven Watkins
The first of four HoW sessions using the forthcoming Court and Politics modules. Events put our heir in danger and multiple identities and disguises obscure who or what seeks control.

Brindlewood Bay (Session 1 of 8)
Jamila R. Nedjadi runs for Puckett, Richard Moser, and Sherri
In our first session of Brindlewood Bay: The Murder Mavens, we meet our incredible senior citizens and get a taste of Brindlewood Bay. I covered character creation so people could see how fun it was! Content Warning: spouse death, some hints at creepy things, corpses.

Jamila R. Nedjadi runs for Charles Cordingley, Lowell Francis, Pearl Zare, Robert Angus, and Steven S.
Here is our Pasiones game in one huge drop! 4 sessions that culminate in the most intense way (I have never seen so many "Face Certain Death" rolls!)
