Wed, 16 Dec 2020 00:00:00 -0800

CW: body horror, descriptions or tragedy that radicalized the brigands, violence This is part of a new ongoing campaign that I'll be offering on the Gauntlet Calendar! We had so much fun in Brinkwood Refuge that I wanted to expand the story and bring in two more games in a "legacy" format. Each arc of Brinkwood Legacy we'll weave our story between three games: Brinkwood: Refuge, In The Face Of Our Despair, and Brinkwood: The Blood of Tyrants. In this session we create our brigands, those who will go on forays to directly deal with the vampiric threat, gather allies, and slowly build the rebellion. We go into our first foray and track down a valuable but vulnerable vampiric threat: Lady Rose, a weaker vampire who serves the Countess. The Lady is on a train that screeches through the night, transporting mysterious cargo that could serve the rebellion well. In this session we see glimpses of what was established in our previous game of In The Face Of Our Despair!

Apocalypse Keys: Behind the Twelfth Door (pt. 3/4)

Sun, 13 Dec 2020 00:00:00 -0800

The doors of the end times are opening, one by one. The eleventh door almost wiped out humanity, and now the twelfth is creaking on its hinges. Humanity is desperate, and even the demons and monsters that once filled our nightmares are welcome allies. Time to prove that you are more than a monster; that you deserve this second chance. Apocalypse Keys is a Powered by the Apocalypse game heavily inspired by media similar to Hellboy and B.P.R.D., where monsters on the fringes of humanity are called upon to stop the impending apocalypse. Players take on the role of members of the DIVISION agency (Department of Interdimensional Vigilance and international Security: Interdisciplinary Operations Network) and need to deal with their own broken humanity, the corporate bureaucracy of the DIVISION, and the impending doom of the universe. All in a day's work. More information about The Gauntlet Community can be found at www.gauntlet-rpg.com Apocalypse Keys was written by Jamila R. Nedjadi, and is available at temporalhiccup.itch.io/apocalypse-keys More information about the safety tools used in this session can be found at https://i.4pcdn.org/tg/1583202183294.pdf
