Monaco, the silver-spoon champion is destined to complete a clean sweep of the circuit in Grand Rapids, but have their closest competitors have to say about it... Merritt & Nascar, old friends from the other side of the racing tracks & Havoc, brought in mid-season to replace a fallen driver. All have their own complications with Monaco, only matched by their history with each other...

David Morrison facilitates for Brandon Brylawski, José Feito, and Nathan Harrison
Gus, Remi and Quoth travel to the Day of Song festival in Auldbarrow Forge to meet back up with Barnaby.

Remi leaves the group to take an important trip back home.

David Morrison runs for Anders, Dana Pena, Paul D., and Steven S.
As the story of Longhill draws to a close, the gang narrowly escapes from the dead in the Witchwood. Jac receives a dire warning from his grandfather, Zéline retrieves her ancient sword, and Oren sees a terrible fate in the runes and meets with Glyn to search for a hidden treasure in the old tower. They band together again at the Hagstone to make a final stand against the forces of darkness...

Gauntlet Quarterly

Hearts of Wulin: Odyssey of Jade and Stars (Session 7 of 12)
David S. runs for Greg Fulford and José Feito
As night settles over Blackwood Palace, Dongshan and Jiang are awakened by the sounds of panic at the front gate--five palace guards have been wiped out by the venomous assassin Violet Widow! Dongshan and Jiang race to find her, culminating in the dramatic reveal of an assassination plot, conflicted loyalties, and a duel on a frozen lake beneath the winter moon.

Star Wars Saturday

Apocalypse World: Burned Over: Dathomir (Session 3)

Alexi S. runs for Marc Majcher and Sam Zimmerman
We return to the crime-ridden metropolis of New Capenna for an intense two-hander session: Zephyr turns up bloody and battered on Cormella's doorstep. But can the slippery elf be trusted to have her sister-in-law's best interests at heart? (Spoiler: No.) Our "heroes" battle with the Brokers, get patched up by a butcher, and sneak into the boss's home...

Gauntlet Reading Club

Alas for the Awful Sea: Invisible Kingdom (Discussion and Character Creation)
Steven S. runs for Ben Bond, Chet, Dana Pena, and Donogh
The Gauntlet Reading Club discusses G. Willow Wilson and Christian Ward's Invisible Kingdom, a space opera about a nun, a freighter pilot, and the surprising trust between them. We follow that with a session of character creation and play where we are introduced to a mysterious ship's surgeon named Maze, mismatched members of stellar diaspora Zarza and Panax, and Mx Blyss, a wayward member of the Relinquishment.
