The Gauntleteer is Missing! A Gauntlet Comics Summer Crossover.

The Gauntleteer has taken many forms throughout the history of New Gauntlet City, but always they are a beacon of hope and an anchor of stability. Suddenly, the Gauntleteer is missing… and only you heroes even remember they existed! Can you save an aspect of the Gauntleteer and restore balance to your era?

Once you were homefront heroes, proud members of the Greatest Generation as New Gauntlet City did its bit during WWII. But when the Gauntleteer went missing, everything changed. Supers are now regarded with suspicion across the board, and you find yourself tarred as a fifth columnist! What’s worse, the citizens of New Gauntlet City don’t even seem to remember the Gauntleteer! Can you, a team of young supers, unravel this disappearance and clear your names?

We’ll be playing five sessions of Masks set in the Golden Age on Monday evenings (7pm-10pm Eastern time) in June.

Sessions will run three hours. They will be recorded and posted on YouTube (if all players agree). Being able to attend each session is ideal, but not required. You must RSVP to each session you wish to attend. One slot is reserved for Brian Lagoda, who’ll be playing my homebrew playbook The Conduit.

Characters, settings, and situations from prior Gauntlet Comics series may appear, and any player is free to use a PC they’ve played before, flesh out an existing support character to play, or create a new hero from scratch. Thanks to the Gauntlet Comics summer crossover event, our story will be part of the big picture that emerges from other games in June!

Aiming for a story of superheroic actions and teen feels, rated PG-13. The X-Card, Open Door Policy, and Lines and Veils will be in use. This event abides by the Gauntlet Inclusivity Policy.
