Gauntlet Facilitator Camp

Trophy Dark: Roommates Wanted
Shane runs for Alun R., Bodhi, and Joe A.
An elderly recluse is seeking housemates, and offering more than just his extraordinarily strange and luxurious estate at a reasonable price: anyone who stays a full five days and then decides not to continue will receive $10,000 compensation for their time. And these three acquaintances all really need that money.

Gauntlet Calendar

Electric Bastionland: Deep Carbon Observatory (Sessions 2 and 3)
Jesse A. runs for Fraser Simons, Nathan Harrison, Puckett, and Robbie Boerth
Session 2: In which our adventurers set out upon the Lock and decisions to intervene or not catch up with them. Session 3: In which our adventurers enter a church and a tomb, harried by scavengers.

Ultraviolet Grasslands: Season 9 - Silver Machine (Session 2 of 3)
Horst Wurst runs for Abe Lincoln Jr., Brandon Brylawski, Puckett, and Will H

Season of Dreams (Session 3 of 4)
Alun R. runs for Paul Rivers and usnavi
When Velura the Lugat and Fungo the Satyr see Kit the Viveru and Shelly the Human disappear just after being re-united with them, they decide to stay on mission and travel back to Murias...only to find that they get there several days before they will arrive there in the last session (it's all very timey-wimey). This gives them all the information they found from last time and a chance to exploit it. They charm a Merchant Lord while grinding his factotum's pride into the dust and impress a potentially merciless mother with their act of sheer kindness. Putting the pieces together they pursue a caravan they have already hijacked (it's all very timey-wimey) to stop a rendezvous with parties unknown that could destabilise the Gloom. Then there's a hill-fort, an approaching column of troops, illusory Griffins (there is a theme emerging), a fire and a 'call Formorii ointment' before...they arrive in the cathedral city of Salisbury in time for Xmas...don't ask...

3:16 Carnage Amongst the Stars: Rembrandt - Romeo Sector (Session 4 of 4)
Donogh runs for Bryan, Jim Likes Games, Leandro Pondoc, and Puckett
The Brigade has finally arrived at its target, Rembrandt. Its target all these long sectors as the alien conspiracy of attacks on Terra has been revealed. The Waterworld shows the aliens at the height of their power and trickery, but has it bargained for the ruthless brutality of the Troopers?

Academy of the Blade (Session 3)
Lowell Francis runs for Darold Ross, Jamila R. Nedjadi, Patrick Knowles, and Sherri
We find out what Takahiro saw when he fell into the coffin of petals, witness betrayals and misunderstandings, and the gang has to put on a play.

Voidheart Symphony (Sessions 0 - 4 of 4)
David Morrison runs for Anders, Brandon Brylawski, Rob Ruthven, and Sabine V.
Former teen actress Katie Schultz is training for a hospital drama role at the hospital where the janitor Harly Boulder works; Lucid, a dream of hope given flesh, is in disguise as a student at the attached university, and she has helped guide the restless spirit of Jocasta, a murdered surgical resident back to the realm of the living. Together, they investigate mysteries taking place around the hospital and fight back against the corruption of the city.

Checkpoint Midnight: Uneasy Allies (Session 6)
Jim Likes Games runs for Alexi S., Brandon Brylawski, Puckett, and Richard Moser
In our sixth full episode (5 to go!), the supernatural operatives find themselves in over their heads both on-mission and off. We see the Court of Night for the first time, and Kate has the. worst. first. date. ever.

Hearts of Wulin: Coeur de l'Epee (Session 2 of 2)
Lowell Francis runs for Chris Newton, Patrick Knowles, and Tyler Lominack
The night of the Queen's Winter Solstice Ball arrives, bringing with it intrigue, romance, danger, lions, and betrayals. Yes, I said lions.
