GM Notes 2018

Greetings, Patrons!

One of the things you get access to because of your pledge is my GM notes folder for 2018. I will be keeping my GM notes for the entire year in this folder for you to peruse (and steal from!) as you wish. A few notes:

-Unlike last year, my notes this year are written with the understanding that other people will be reading them, so they should be a little easier to consume than before.

-These notes hit the folder right away, meaning they are wo...

New Patreon Goal!

I’m excited to announce our next Patreon goal: a daily Gauntlet blog. When you look at everything that makes up the Gauntlet–our podcast network, Gauntlet Hangouts, Codex, our fantastic community resources–a blog sticks out as something we should have, but curiously do not. There are a few reasons why we never went the blog route, but most of them boil down to this: in the early days of the Gauntlet, we were a private club with no interest in communicating with anyone other than our member...

Preview - Pocket-Sized Play - Monsterhearts: Mercy Falls '83

Hello! This is a preview of a Pocket-Sized Play series coming out in 2018. It's called Monsterhearts: Mercy Falls '83, and it is something of a spin-off/prequel of the main Mercy Falls series.

At an hour long, this episode isn't really "pocket-sized," but is nevertheless quite cool. It is a Session 0 of Monsterhearts. We do a bit of setting overview, character creation, backstory, "homeroom" creation, and then kickoff the story with an introductory scene. I really loved listening to it, ...

No Fee Hike After All (Thank Goodness!)

Patreon has decided not to go through with the changes to its fee structure. This is great news for everyone, and a rare example of a company responding to public pressure.

For those of you who stuck with us throughout Patreon's debacle, thank you so much. For those of you who canceled your pledge, we hope Patreon's change of heart will entice you to come back.

The Gauntlet has a lot of awesome things for you to look forward to in 2018! We can't wait to share them with you so...

Patreon Fee Change

By now, you've probably heard about Patreon changing its fee structure. In case you haven't, the short of it: now Patrons will pay processing fees rather than creators. As creators, we have no say in this change whatsoever. If it was up to me, the Gauntlet would still be paying those fees.

Our pledges have already started to drop, and I suspect it's going to get worse. I'm going to monitor the situation over the next few days and then figure out where we stand with things.
