[Gauntlet Hangouts: Indie RPGs, Story Games, OSR]
Greetings, and welcome to the weekly Gauntlet Hangouts video roundup! Enjoy these recordings of online games organized through Gauntlet Hangouts and the Gauntlet RPG Community. These recorded sessions represent only a portion of the selection of games available every week, and anyone is welcome to join the fun! If you'd like to play or watch more games like these, check out the links and information at the bottom of the post.

Gauntlet Comics

Escape from Dino Island: Lake of the Lost (Session 1 of 2)
Alexi S. runs for Chris Newton, Jon Grim, Rich Rogers, and Sam Zimmerman
A research expedition funded by the Optimax Industries brings Kal Sharma the doctor, Alya Gabbai the soldier, and Cori Tauris the kid to a mysterious island in a lake north of New Gauntlet City... where they quickly encounter dinosaurs, dangers, and the castaway survivor Freya Forrester. What other secrets is the island hiding...and can everyone in this group be trusted?

Gauntlet Hangouts

Checkpoint Midnight: Uneasy Allies (Session 1)
Jim Likes Games runs for Alexi S., Brandon Brylawski, Puckett, and Richard Moser
Cold War supernatural espionage in a divided Vienna. This is our first full session in a quarterly playtest of Alexi Sargeant's PbtA game in development. Our heroes go on their first mission together: A Night at the Opera.

Checkpoint Midnight: Uneasy Allies (Session 2)
Jim Likes Games runs for Alexi S., Brandon Brylawski, Puckett, and Richard Moser
Cold War supernatural espionage in a divided Vienna. This is our second full session in a quarterly playtest of Alexi Sargeant's PbtA game in development. In this episode, we enter Checkpoint Midnight for the first time.

Hearts of Wulin: Hearts of Wulin vs the World - Season 2 (Session 3)
Jim Likes Games runs for Philip Rogers, Puckett, SalamanderJames, and Sawyer Rankin
Rock and roll and retribution, as the band comes together.

Worlds in Peril (Session 1)
David Walker runs for Civi, David Morrison, Erez, Leandro Pondoc, and Sabine V.
Robot Rumble! - Hey True Believer! Are you ready to join The Paragons of Tomorrow (Archangel, The Grey Ghost, Telos, The Idealist, and The Traveller) in their golden age adventures as they defend Liberty City in this Worlds in Peril RPG actual play? When Kosmos attacks - the heroes assemble! Can they defend City Hall and Mayor West from the onslaught of the giant Robot Menace?

Masks: Neighbourhood (Issue 9 - Sister Act)
David Walker runs for Gerwyn Walters, Lara Boerth-Dryden, Pawel S., and Will H
The Gridlock Guardians confront Beatdown and Sphinx. Dynamic and Bluebird share a moment, Lux and Paladin have sharp words whilst The Grey Ghost has something important to ask Nox. Shame she confessed to murdering in front of one of their main nemesis first. Oh yeah and Sparky can still talk - and they are from the future!

Impulse Drive: The Expanse (Session 4 of 4)
Alun R. runs for Bodhi, Brandon Brylawski, Jon Grim, and Rob Ruthven
We pick up after last session's shock reveal to find the crew still dealing with the relationship fall-out. RaeDawn feels betrayed; Sonia feels uncertain; Felix feels resigned; and Kit...well, Kit feels buffeted. Things get no simpler when Dr Roberta Ashang reveals what she knows, and Major Kirstin Omala of MRCN Intelligence clarifies what's at stake. There's a spoofed transponder, a dubious cargo, and a trip to Jupiter's trailing trojans...and (almost inevitably for this crew) an explosion...

Shattered City (Session 2)
Lowell Francis runs for Chris Newton, Patrick Knowles, and Tyler Lominack
The heroes of the venture look towards their own agendas, but a nearly tragic attempt at negotiation reveals the true danger of the Matango cabal when a lost titan emerges from the earth.

Haven: Buried Sins (Session 3 of 3)
Steven S. facilitates for David Morrison, David Schultz, and Ryan Windeknecht
In our final session, the conflict within Haven pushes towards a violent conclusion as Maria pursues her ancestor's power and Helena seeks to destroy Victoria once and for all. Macintosh attempts to understand whether she has a place within Haven, Garland confronts the hunters in the woods, and one witch's love may avert a bloody ending.

The Pack: Loblolly Trails (Session 4 of 4)
Dan Brown facilitates for David Schultz and Jane
In this final session, the pack of Loblolly Trails set up their den in defense of the cats, and Scallop confronts Queen. They dig into their past, clear up misunderstandings, and realize that Marmalade has been playing them all along. Oatmeal returns his charge -- the seagull chick Fluff -- to his mother. It truly must be the apocalypse because we end on cats and dogs living together.

Shattered City (Session 3 of 3)
Lowell Francis runs for Chris Newton, Patrick Knowles, and Tyler Lominack
The conflict between the cabals comes to a crescendo as the Soldiers Guild, the Nobles Guild, and even the Sixth Guild make moves which the Venture maneuvers to counter and control.

Fate of Cthulhu: The Rise of Nyarlathotep (Session 5 of 5)
Alun R. runs for Lowell Francis, The Rolistes Podcast, and Will H
Cut to the desert 250 miles NE of Khartoum several months after the last Timeline Event; during which time the missing Avery Quinn gets the Glowing Trapezohedron back to the team. Nessa has spent weeks accumulating as much information on a World Heritage Site destined to host the Rise of Nyarlathotep; Rook steps back and forth in time to make sure the SAS will provide some back-up for an 'American cultural attache'; and McFee frets about his missing son's fate while customising a dune buggy. There's cultists, old enemies, a Mask of Nyarlathotep, and then...a portal, one young man with no memory, and another who is of little importance...and an Elder Thing...

Offworlders: Dead Planet (Session 4 of 4)
Mike Ferdinando runs for Abe Lincoln Jr., Brandon Brylawski, and Jason Zanes
Sparks, Thorn, and Sgt. Logan delve into the weird alien installation in search of a means to shut down the alien interdimensional gate that's causing the hyperspace anomaly. And what they find chills them to their core. The conclusion to "Dead Planet."
