The Between: Questions and Opportunities Part Two

For the first 48 hours, please only sign up for this game if you played in my previous two-shot of The Between, as this will continue that game.

The Between is a tabletop roleplaying game about a group of mysterious monster hunters in Victorian-era London. These hunters learn about various monstrous threats in the city and conduct investigations, or “hunts,” in order to neutralize them. They gradually become aware of the machinations of a criminal mastermind who is sometimes connected to the threats, but always scheming to bring the Crown to its knees.

This game will pick up the story following the two-shot game I ran in June, but if you didn’t play in that game you’ll be fine to jump in. I expect to continue this game in August and perhaps part of September to complete a full campaign.

Rules: The Between is a pbta game with mechanics based on Brindlewood Bay and a unique, formalised play cycle. No rules knowledge is expected and all rules will be taught during play.

Subject matter: The Between is an unavoidably dark game. Murder, cannibalism, body horror, dark sexual themes, threats to children and animals, foul language, blasphemy, witchcraft, and defiling corpses are all things that come up in the game on a fairly regular basis.

We’ll be using Lines and Veils, the X Card, and the Open Door as safety tools, and the game will run under the Gauntlet Community Code of Conduct: https://www.gauntlet-rpg.com/community-code-of-conduct.html.

We’ll be playing over StreamYard, with short breaks on the hour. The sessions will be recorded and posted only by consent of the players.

Please sign up for all sessions you want to attend. I’ll send a group email before our first session to confirm interest, share play materials, etc.

Open access time for sign-ups is 10.30am 21/6/21 AEST.

This sounds very interesting! Is there any more information about the game’s design and features out there?

You can check out the game page on drivethru at https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/360858/The-Between?src=hottest_small, or there’s a channel for discussion on the Gauntlet Publishing discord https://discord.gg/W2tu83wX. Or let me know if you have specific questions and I can try and answer?
