Gauntlet Quarterly

Masks: Prospect Academy (Session 6)
Leandro Pondoc runs for David Morrison, Gerwyn Walters, Ludovico Alves, and Sabine V.
Doubts fill the halls of Prospect Academy as the Silver Masquerade looms and its students ponder on what exactly makes a hero. Zero-G gets an unwelcome reunion from his worse days with an old friend, Princess Hollyhock tries to figure out how to reach an old friend, Kasey gets a much-needed boost from an old friend and Serenade is sick and tired of all this nonsense.

Gauntlet Hangouts

The Veil Fantasy: Kriusthos (Session 3 of 4)
Ludovico Alves runs for Marcolo, Maria M., and Toby
A dead friend haunts the Honorbound. Promises have been made, silver has been given to the needy. As one finds out that contracts, society and true knowledge cannot coexist, the group find out the answer to the question "what shadows inhabit the minds of the long-dead"?

L5R - Topaz Championship (Session 2 of 3)
Ludovico Alves runs for Josh H, Pawel S., and Stephen
The second day of the contest continues, after a late arrival and a suspicious sake house brawl.

Free From The Yoke: Land of the Dragonslayers (Session 3 of 4)
Ludovico Alves runs for Greg G., Mikael Tysvær, and Sawyer Rankin
There was the promise of a peaceful Summer. That was a lie. The grand Summer Festival of the Jeweled city is interrupted by a grand ritual and a tri-party duel. Stewards of ancient rites start a war and despoil a sacred site with a treasure. The stonecutters and smiths grow in influence as the season sets.

Sunset Kills: Monsters Will Never Hurt You
Leandro Pondoc runs for Alun R., David Morrison, Libby Horacek, and Will H
In the town of Sunset Falls, darkness hides monsters with real teeth. As the night brings in an out-of-town exorcist and demons from beyond the skin of reality, the fate of the town falls upon a motley band of defenders. Dante the Chosen shows off some sick flips and daggers, Stone the Monstrous tries to take on all the demons, Gideon the Occultist peers through time and space and Angie the Snoop risks life for a friend.

Rapscallion: The Leviathan Queen (Session 2 of 2)
Alun R. runs for Alexi S., Julie Rogers, Leah Libresco Sargeant, and Robert Angus
Captain Nightshade encounters an old flame so there has to be a sea battle; he wins, but then the loyal members of his crew must play 'Jonah' and are carried to the sunken Leviathan temple. There, Raku the Golem must convince the ancient sigils that have held the temple in the depths of a better life on the surface before helping the Captain hold off the tortured souls that guard the Temple. Meanwhile competing claims to the sacred Golden Pearl must be resolved in a three-way tussle between Jamie the Chronicler, Clance the Mountebank, and Clance's Demon, Abaddon. The Captain is just able to keep his pledge to the Leviathans before Jamie grabs the Pearl and a new Leviathan Queen is hatched... All in a day's swashbuckling for this exceptional crew... PS: there is also a real-life pirate hat and coat in this session... You have been warned!

Night's Black Operators: The Lisky Bratva (Session 2 of 5)
Alun R. runs for Pawel S., Puckett, Sabine V., and Stephen
After last time when they were out-classed by a creature they didn't understand on Josef Lisky's turf, the team's cover and contact are (literally) blown, leaving them little option but to flee Odessa in search of at least temporary respite. Transnistrian fixer, Mr Happy, provides that in return for a favour: a new signing for the local football team must not make a successful debut... Karl the Wet-worker pretends to be a famous fitness coach (knighted for services to British sport) to get access to the young prodigy so that Dylan can play 'homme-fatale' and ensnare the naive youngster in a night of passion and fitness training that leaves him exhausted in all kinds of ways. Meanwhile, Mia & Moshe unpick the leads Mr Happy reveals as part of his generous 'thank you'. The Vampyramid is becoming clearer...

Once Again We Return: Musical Madness Q1 (Session 1 of 4)
Sawyer Rankin runs for Ludovico Alves, Patrick Knowles, Puckett, and Sabine V.
We start the Recurrence with character creation and setting up the best, sweetest, nicest Pantheon that ever will Pantheon. We go through four performances in small time skips with our starting growth. Come see a barely remembered rave, a band show of combined musical styles, a thrash metal ACAB show, and a drugged out haunting hallucination.

Once Again We Return: Musical Madness Q1 (Session 2 of 4)
Sawyer Rankin runs for Ludovico Alves, Patrick Knowles, Puckett, Sabine V., and Saribel P.
The Recurrence gets underway with a surprise show in No Where, Nevada where the newest member of the Pantheon is incarnated before a group of yuppies. Our angry El Tunchi creates the Garden of Even and blesses it with Pasithea. Egeria and Echo have a moment that might be a meetcute? If they hadn't had already met. Then our newest deity Shango gets (easily) talked into rebelling in a grand music video experience in Brazil with El Tunchi while Pasithea goes sightseeing. Echo and Egeria find a rare fan of Echo and it seems the ancient one has enemies(?)

Urban Shadows: Vienna, 1950 (Session 3 of 4)
Alexi S. runs for Eli S., Leandro Pondoc, Pearl Zare, and Richard Moser
A busy day of deals, threats, and bad decisions made at the Café Marcus Aurelius, hotspot of supernatural intrigue in Cold War Vienna. Otto the Veteran tries to shake the cold from his limbs by striking a bargain with a fae princess of winter. Emilie the Aware leaves the café at gunpoint, confidant she can manipulate the wolf at her heel. Salomé the Tainted accepts two new hit jobs, one for duty and one for love. And Sophie/Johannes the Fae proffers help to everyone, reveals their feelings for Salomé, and briefly turns into monstrous tangle of tentacle-like vines.

Night Witches October 2019: Rudnya 1943 (Session 2 of 4)
Jim Likes Games runs for Bethany H., Eli S., Maria M., and Puckett
Politics is a stuka and the Byelorussian forest claims another of the people's aircraft, if not necessarily its pilots.

Hack the Planet: A Sky Reflected In Terror (Session 3 of 5)
Leandro Pondoc runs for Alun R., Josh H, and Parham Doustdar
Facing problems such as collapsing walls, reticaltrant extractees, and mysterious cybernetic attackers, the Comets meet each obstacle with gusto. Shadow learns the perils of wall-running after an explosion, Nova attempts to meet problems with explosives and Lincoln manages to cultivate trust with a reluctant researcher.

Night's Black Operators: The Lisky Bratva (Session 3 of 5)
Alun R. runs for Leandro Pondoc, Pawel S., Puckett, and Sabine V.
Heading into the shadow of the Carpathian Mountains the team have to pick up a 'minder' sent by their sponsor to get 'eyes on' - a charming Asset Handler with the immediate charm of a rottweiler. Confronted by the Lisky Bratva's people-trafficking Mia disables their truck and engineers a collision with its black escort SUV. Dylan offers to help the Bratva truck-driver (with a silenced automatic pistol) while Karl uses a rifle-grenade to flip the second black SUV in appropriate action hero style. Unable to ignore what may be going on at Dragovir Monastery, an investigation turns into a raid as they find solid evidence of a predatory supernatural power behind Josef Lisky...

Masks: Back to Basics (Session 1 of 4)
Jim Likes Games runs for David Morrison, David Walker, Donogh, and Pearl Zare
Welcome to Halcyon City! It's just survived being at the epicenter of the Apocalypse Sonata, and everyone is really hoping things will get back to normal. Unfortunately, our protagonists are superheroes here. This issue: SPARTA LLC bites off more than they can chew, and relationships get tested.

Masks: Back to Basics (Session 2 of 4)
Jim Likes Games runs for David Morrison, David Walker, and Donogh
School days and work days for our heroes, but both are interrupted by new problems.

Monsterhearts 2: St. Osana's School for Boys (Session 1 of 3)
David Morrison runs for Pearl Zare, Puckett, Sawyer Rankin, and Steven
This game is set in St. Osana's School for Boys, a boarding school in North Yorkshire in 1968 and is a loose sequel to my previous game in the same setting. We follow the exploits of four boys from Postgate Upper Fifth as Autumn fog creeps over the Yorkshire Moors. A lethargic air hangs heavy in the boys' prep room, as Burnley the Ghoul has a brief, intense daydream of his untimely demise. CF the Hollow has a far more enticing dream, lured out on the wiley, windy moors by the enigmatic Isaac Crowther. CF's dream, however, is soon interrupted by the Headmaster's son, Lovelace the Infernal. Lovelace's aloof disdain quickly melts to reveal the hot-blooded passion beneath, and the two share a moment of intimacy in the closet - though perhaps slightly less private than either of them realise. His Highness Karuna Singh the Mortal plans to sneak out of school for an clandestine rendezvous with Burnley, though his plans are delayed when he steps in to act the hero in his lover's place.
