The Gauntlet

Sprigs and Kindling An ongoing digital zine of community collected creative works for Carved from Brindlewood TTRPG games

Heya #TTRPG folks! I'm looking for submissions for Sprigs & Kindling!
An anthology zine featuring community works for @gauntletrpg.bsky.social and other CfB games! It's free, so I cannot pay you but you keep all the rights to your work including publishing it elsewhere.

Periodic reminder that using generative AI is a block. Pay and support real artists, or go rot in a compost heap. Or do both if that’s your mood — either way you’ll be helping something beautiful grow.

Amanda has lead the charge on a massive collaboration between so many different creators that's dore the CfB system.

Sprigs & Kindling is a fucking delight.

I am SO hyped for PRG y'all this game looks so silly and awesome

Planet Raygun: Space Heist RPG – The title is set over scratched up, vibrantly colored aero stripes, an image of a rocket launch is faintly superimposed in the texture.

Planet Raygun will blow minds.

This is my transformation of the Carved from Brindlewood mystery system into a retro-futuristic adventure game.

You love planning heists. You love heist montages. Planet Raygun does it in a blaze of glory: stuff I've heard people say ttrpgs just can't do. 😱

One of my favorite PAXU moments: there was a single game of The Between at Games on Demand. Three of the players came up to the booth afterward (at different times) and said it was one of the best—if not the best—RPG experiences they’d had. The group is even going to keep playing on Zoom!

Un point sur Public Access Public Access est sorti le 19 décembre 2023 en français. Il y a presque un an maintenant ! Sorti uniquement en PDF, j'avais annoncé réfléchir à un moyen de le proposer en version physique. Cela a pris...

Bran and Wes are masked and want to rot for 1000 years.

I also want to shout out @cha0ticstupid.bsky.social for organizing and setting up the booth presence for @gauntletrpg.bsky.social this weekend.

He was busy as hell leading up to this weekend and busy all throughout and thanks to that hard work, the whole team was in a place to fucking kill it.

come to booth 4142 if you love to listen to creators info dump about our inspirations and special interests!

Thank you to everyone who came by the booth today! We met a lot of amazing people, and can't wait to do it all over again tomorrow!

Day 2 of PAXU! Come by the booth, pick up Brindlewood Bay and get it signed!

Ready for Day 2 😎

Happy Friday, #PAXU! We're parked up with the folks from @plusoneexp.bsky.social at Booth #4142, selling copies of Brindlewood Bay and Trophy (plus some other goodies). See you there!

We've raised $30K in overtime, but we need $10K more to unlock our final achievement, Blood & Coal!

The Gauntlet is holding onto this backer train, but just barely! Any help we can get to cross the finish line is much-appreciated.

Please re-post!

Do fog and petticoats not do it for ya?
Ride through a haunted Texas.

Just because this campaign has somehow managed to go into 17 hours of overtime doesn't mean its not actually in its last five minutes. One of these 10 minute chunks is going to actually be the last.

Still time to swoop in and get an RPG bargain.

The Daughter is the last true witch of Appalachia. She comes from a long line of proud women just like her, but is now alone. She is the chosen guardian of the natural order, the only thing that the forces of darkness may come to fear—if they don't manage to corrupt her, first. During the game, you'll explore her connections to those that came before her and the wisdom they left behind. Play the Daughter if you want to use holler medicine and granny magic to protect others, even if they're scared of what you are. [Below this text is a colorful, evocative picture incorporating a woman’s silhouette and forest imagery]

Okay. Okay okay okay we are closing in on the VERY LAST STRETCH GOAL for The Between and the one I want the most: a new campaign, Blood & Coal. Here’s my favorite playbook from that campaign, The Daughter.

Go pledge if you can!

The Gauntlet Discord is in a frenzy. We just made a Fred Durst playbook (I blame @thebadspot.bsky.social).

If you've not seen the ridiculousness going on with the Backerkit overtime for The Between, it's honestly amazing

Go check them out and keep their backer train going!

We’re still in overtime, with one more stretch goal to unlock!

The Between is
-a game of monster fighting, collaborative investigation, & eroticism
-SEVERAL hours into overtime.
right up the alley of many AP performers (including but not limited to

& @Superdillin)https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/the-gauntlet/the-between?ref=bk-social-project

I (and others) have often said The Between will "rewire your brain," that it will change how you view the possibilities and potential of tabletop roleplaying games, especially when it comes to storytelling. Let's do a thread exploring this idea!

#ttrpg #DnD #TTRPGs

The Between is on Backerkit right now (www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...) and Jason has a big thread on what makes it special here. I think it's worth reading ESPECIALLY if you're primarily exposed to more traditional D&D-y RPGs.

A quick thread on this follows.

We are less than $6000 away from unlocking a new Mastermind: Gesod, High Imperator of Venus! This over-the-top, spacefaring villain brings an element of vintage sci-fi to The Between.
