Mandatory Fun Club Spotlight: Agatha

by Michael G. Barford, Keeper of the Eternal Chime

This series of articles will serve as an introduction to the participants of the September 2018 round of Mandatory Fun Club. These Gauntleteers are preparing to start offering fresh events for Gauntlet Hangouts; be on the lookout for their games!

Hello Agatha! Welcome to Mandatory Fun Club! My first question for you is: How did you hear about the Gauntlet community?
Through the venerable Gauntlet podcast 😉

What kind of experience do you have facilitating TTRPGs?
I've run 2 Powered by the Apocalypse games and facilitated a game of Microscope so far.

What kind of experience do you have playing TTRPGs online?
Tons! Been playing through them obsessively on the Gauntlet ever since I joined at the beginning of this year.

What made you decide to jump in and start facilitating games for Gauntlet Hangouts?
There are games I want to play, so I had to bring them to the table.

Tell us about the game you're planning to facilitate for MFC! Why did you choose it?
It's called Downfall, a GM-less game of world creation and destruction seen through the eyes of its 3 protagonists. I chose it because it's GM-less so there's less onus on me as the facilitator and because I wanted to play it.

What other games would you be interested in facilitating for Gauntlet Hangouts in the future?
Masks, Bubblegumshoe

Is there anything non-gaming-related that you'd like people to know about you?
I'm a co-host of Asians Represent! A podcast celebrating Asian creators and looking at Asian themes in analogue games.

Where can people go to hear more from you?
