The Silt Verses RPG - full release!

Well, now, look at all this - it turns out those incredible people at The Gauntlet wanted to give all of us a very special Halloween gift with the full digital release of The Silt Verses RPG.

So - here you go!

Attached, you'll find an incredible array of materials for running your very own role-playing campaigns in the Peninsula, from dangerous assignments to overarching conspiracies. (Both individual attachments and one juicy zip file that contains everything.)

Investigate stray angels, strange haunts, and murderous cults as a disciple of the Saint Electric, Trawler-man, Watcher in the Wings, Cairn Maiden, Pox Martyr, or the Waxen Scrivener.

Delve into backwoods towns, floating markets where sacred relics are bought and sold, bustling clinics where medical 'miracles' come at a hideous cost - and even a towering skyscraper of conjoined steel, glass, and flesh.

Huge, huge congrats to Jason Cordova and Gabriel Robinson on the release, as everyone who's worked on the project (including our own B. Narr and Jax Bryk, who amazingly ran a TSV LARP not so long ago!).

More details follow below, but a couple of crucial asks:

• If you're interested in running a oneshot or campaign with The Silt Verses RPG, definitely do join The Gauntlet Discord for advice, questions, and peer support.
• The game is also available on DriveThruRPG as a standalone purchase. Please do share it with anyone who you think might be keen to play!
• This game is an absolute labour of love and we're really excited to be working with such an innovative indie creator, so we'd be incredibly grateful for your shares, likes, recs (and playing the game, of course!) to help get as many eyes on it as possible.

Really hope you enjoy getting to grips with the game (I know I will!) and as ever, thank you so much for your support.

- Jon
