New $7 Patron Spots Available November 30th!

Hello! When we kicked off our Patreon a little over a year ago, we made 50 spots available at the $7 level. These 50 spots give the folks holding them one week of RSVP priority for new Gauntlet Hangouts events.  


Effectively, this put Gauntlet Hangouts games behind a paywall, which, admittedly, was something we were initially nervous about doing. A few people in our community strongly opposed it under a theory, I suppose, that everything should just be free, and that the princi...

Pocket-Sized Play SNEAK PREVIEW - Monsterhearts: Return to Mercy Falls

Hello! We are launching a new Pocket-Sized Play series in November called Monsterhearts: Return to Mercy Falls. It's a follow-up to the well-received Monsterhearts series we did earlier this year. 

I have a sneak preview of the first episode for you lovely Patrons. It's largely re-cap and Session 0-type stuff, but you get to see how I incorporate a brand-new character into an ongoing story. And speaking of that brand-new character, you are going to really like Lowell Francis's Ellen the G...
