0 Comments

Read Now
 
We’ve found, adapted, and developed a ton of useful tools for online play at The Gauntlet. To make things easier to find, we pulled a bunch of that material together here. We'll also be adding this as an page to the website.
 
BUILDING KEEPERS
Most games on the Gauntlet use Google Sheets to create online character keepers. It lets everyone see each others’ characters. It can also be used to organize reference material and NPCs. We have a four-part series on creating those keepers
  • Introduction
  • Basics 
  • Advanced Techniques 
  • Polishing Keepers 
 
KEEPERS AND PLAY AIDS
We have a large collection of pre-made keepers for a ton of games. If you use a Keeper from our folders, be sure to make a copy of it. Then you can edit that copy. You’ll find the full folder here.  That contains:
  • Sample Aids Broken into three folders: A-E, F-0, and P-Z
  • General Templates
  • A collection of Tools & References
  • Español and Deutsch materials
  • Documentation for all our play aides.

OTHER RESOURCES
  • TTRPG Safety Toolkit Your play safety best resource is the ENnie-winning TTRPG Safety Toolkit by Kienna Sunrise and Lauren Bryant-Monk 
  • Overview of Video Options This looks at some of the available meeting software platforms. Much has changed since originally written. It needs updating but still has useful options. 
  • Helping your D&D Group Try a Monsterhearts One-Shot A blog post by Rich Rogers (+1 Forward, Hit the Streets) with advice about transitioning groups into new games and online play.

  • GCOG material We’ve begin doing free quarterly online gaming events as a way of introducing new folks to online gaming and indie games. Here’s an overview of that program. You can find our event handbook here. If you’re planning an online event, feel free to borrow from and adapt that.
