Gauntlet City Limits Revue, pt. 1
Over two years ago, I started the living campaign of Gauntlet City Limits. It's been a fun way to play lots of new and interesting RPGs with the Gauntlet and friends, to have some cross-overs of characters and places, and feel like we were collaborating to make a fascinating new place together. I have had a very special time playing with you in so many of these games. I've decided to stop running the Gauntlet City Limits series and focus on other projects. But like most things I do, I want to go out with a bang. That's where all of you come in! This is the first of two sessions of the Googly-Eyed Primetime Puppet Show RPG, (which is the Muppet Show RPG with the serial numbers filed off). The concept for this GEPPS game pair is a GCL Revue. I'll be creating puppet versions of the most interesting / amusing / memorable characters from all the Gauntlet City Limits games to mix and match them in a zany series of sketches in set pieces inspired by previous game sessions. It's' a big blow out love-letter to all the fun we've had in GCL.

Gaunt Marches | A Narrow Way
Each year, the folk of the 1000 Sloughs region mark the height of summer with a time of fasting, self-sacrifice, and mortification of the flesh. Few people love these observances, but each year, for either piety or payment, at least a few people undertake the purity rites on behalf of their communities. On the night the yearly fasts begin, an apprentice calls down doom on his master and an imp invades the languid (and humid) peace and quiet of Goatbridge town. An elementalist confesses his sins, a priest drives away an undead swarm, a mage of winter gains a burning scar, a shapeshifter keeps a secret, and a kobold slays a fiend.

The characters include the decadent Lord Aitor, the second son of the Duke and Duchess; his twin sister, the crafty and agile Lady Lyssa, who knows the language of crows; Stig the apprentice to the Duke's late Grand Vizier; and Gloria, the priestess of a forgotten god who was raised by an old mercenary in the Duke's guard. Lyssa Drestfall says no to The Grey Prince, but considers the power of the demon Whispertongue. Gloria uncovers the plot, but gives up much too much to reveal it. Stig learns a true name, but is not sure if it is the correct one, and Aitor confronts his treacherous older brother.

Meanwhile, emissaries of an old foe show up at the gate and Aitor and Lyssa realise there may already be a traitor in their midst.
