Moonlight on Roseville Beach is a sandbox investigation game about the little, queer disco-era town of Roseville Beach, and the citizens who’re called on to stop the cultists, monsters, nightmares, and elder god-like things that are set to ruin summer. It uses @Diogo_Nogueira’s awesome old-school-inspired Dark Streets & Darker Secrets system with some custom character creation and beach-town creation rules.

Hearts of Wulin: Emperor of Bandits
2-part closed table FEATURE
Virtue vs. Villainy! Obligation vs. Passion! Justice vs. Tyranny! The heroes of Wulin battle for a better world while struggling with their own intertwined duties, desires, and destinies. You are heroes trying to serve your family, faction, or ideals. High-flying action, romantic confusions, and secret schemes abound. This game aims to emulate the high drama feel of stories like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Laughing in the Wind ; and more. Tales of misunderstandings, betrayals, and farce mix with martial arts action. Hearts of Wulin borrows elements from Apocalypse World, Masks, Monster Hearts, The Veil, and beyond. Rules will be taught. In session one we will create our heroes and Entangle them in a web of martial and romantic relationships!
This is a two-session ‘feature film’ offering. Signing up for session 1 commits you to coming to session 2. If you can’t make both sessions, please free up the spot for the next player. Part Two will be run Sunday at 7:00 PM Eastern .
The Emperor of Bandits has died under mysterious circumstances, and now every dishonorable martial artist with a will to power and a few thugs has converged on your province to vie for the Leopard Throne.
This event abides by the Gauntlet Inclusivity Policy, and will use safety tools including the X-Card, Open Door, and Lines & Veils.
We will use the Zoom streaming platform to play. I will record the session, but release it publicly only if all players consent at the end of the game.

Guardians against the Monsters
Using Eotenweard, my own Dark Age PbtA game inspired by Monster of the Week.
The playbooks available are: the Commoner; the Hammer of the Gods; the Loon; the Monster Hunter; the Outlaw; the Pagan Mystic; the Priest of God; the Scholar; and the Warrior of God. There are also several variations on the Monstrous playbook (only one of which can be in play in any session): the Demon, the Fae Changeling, the Revenant , the Skinchanger, and the Spirit.
This is a gritty, low fantasy, ‘historical’, game set in Britain 200 years after the Roman legions withdrew. The characters are commissioned by King Ceretric of the Christian Celtic kingdom of Elmete to seek out a notorious witch, rumoured to be unkillable, and put a final end ot her.

I’m offering The Shepherd of Moths for The Cthulhu Hack on the Sunday —
Cambridge, England, 1922. Ludwig’s letter said that he’d be going away a while, and asked you check in with his colleagues in his absence. The morning you arrive on campus, you learn that Professor Ludwig Barrett did not turn up to deliver his lecture this morning…

Hi folks! I’ve got some spaces in my two sessions of The Outsiders, a game where you play a dual role: a group of outsiders trying to join an established community, as well as the council determining their fate.
Are we prospective students applying to a magic school, survivors fleeing from an apocalypse and trying to get into a walled settlement, college kids trying to get into a sorority, or something else… Who we are, and what community we are trying to join, is determined by us collaboratively at the beginning of the session.
(The Outsiders is a game in playtesting, designed by J. Gurantz. It is inspired by For the Queen (a Descended from the Queen game; https://forthequeengame.com/). The mechanics involve taking turn asking question prompt cards of the outsiders, and eventually using this information as the council to vote on a resolution, followed by short epilogues. The game is GM-less, but will be led by a facilitator (me!) who will play along with you. We expect the game to take a little less than 2 hours, followed by a quick debrief, but it could take longer depending on the players, and how many follow-up questions they ask.)

Still haven’t gotten any RSVPs for my Dungeon World game on Sunday afternoon…
https://gauntlet-con.firebaseapp.com/event-detail/-LoIaWDYI6naGTixH5Z4
You are fierce, nimble riders in a hobgoblin cavalry unit at war with the human imperialists who conquered your homeland.
Your people made a devilish alliance with the necromantic Lord Strygax to lead a counterattack.
This turned your righteous cause into a living hell. Your ranks are swelled with foul undead, and you fight under the scrutiny of the Necromancer’s insidious spies.
Something or someone has given Lord Strygax reason to doubt your loyalty. So he recalled your unit and assigned you a suicidal mission as a test.
Will you risk all to allay the Necromancer’s suspicions? Discover a traitorous mole in your squad? Break ranks and flee for freedom? Actually manage to fight the human invaders?
Players will choose one of twelve pregenerated characters which you will customize by answering a question and picking a secret.
Rakka’s Raiders is a Plundergrounds dungeon starter by Ray Otus.

A game I designed, The Great Soul Train Robbery, has space open. It’s being run by a great GM, Leah Sargeant, on Friday at 2019-10-25T18:00:00Z
In the game, you play Desperados robbing the train to Hell. Think Hadestown, Pretty Deadly, or any given Johnny Cash song. The mechanics are simple: it’s based on Honey Heist, but your two stats are Lover and Sinner.

As of this writing I have three seats for my Saturday 2PM Eastern session of Pasión de las Pasiones.
https://gauntlet-con.firebaseapp.com/event-detail/-Lo1btbLK5x8TNN7RE3Q
Come join us for this game of Latino Telenovelas
Pasión de las Pasiones is a PbtA tabletop role-playing game where you play the cast of the world’s most dramatic and exciting telenovela: La Rosa Querida, the story of a famous hotel and a battle for love, wealth, and power. In Pasión de las Pasiones , lies will be exposed, plots will be shattered, hearts will be broken, and if you’re lucky, you might even get a happy ending…at least for now. This is a game of melodrama, so be prepared for that. Sessions will contain betrayal, intrigue, and sex (though we fade to black for the last of those).

With Richard’s permission I’ve changed one of my underperforming game sign-ups to a new game: The King is Dead: Seaward Coast! It’s a ‘sequel’ to Firebrands, and thus a GM-less, distributed authority game that guides it’s players through scenes of drama, warfare, and intrigue.
I would like to run it using a Tabletop Simulator mod for the card deck and physical components, I hope that’s not too steep a barrier for anyone interested.
Check out my game schedule here: https://gauntlet-con.firebaseapp.com/event-detail/-Lnx_8pp6hj3DtOGR6JA
