Episode 39 of The Gauntlet Podcast is here! We are reviving a segment from one of Rich’s old shows called Game Advocates. I agreed to be the first person up, advocating for Dungeon World in this episode. We have also made the first segment less sprawling. Feedback is welcome for both segments.
The Gauntlet has a new discussion podcast focused on Dungeon World.

I often see people looking for games. The Gauntlet runs loads of Dungeon World over Hangouts (and other games, too!). Follow the link, join the Community, and select the Events tab to find games.
Hi. My Houston-based gaming club, The Gauntlet, is very fond of Dungeon World (we’ve probably done 200+ sessions over the last couple of years). We also have a brand new podcast. We don’t talk about Dungeon World exclusively, but if you’re into indie/story RPGs, you might dig it. Give us a download!

These pics are from the fifth session of our DW campaign, Oceans of Order & Chaos (and sixteenth session overall).
This one saw the party meeting-up on Reaver’s Rock (after surviving a lizard folk attack). The Rock, which is nothing more than three taverns used by pirates as a stop-over, was eerily quiet when they arrived. After doing battle with several of his flesh golems (and looting some pretty terrific magical items, including the Staff of Ignis, the Vainglorious Boots, and the Horn of Nammu), the party discovered their old nemesis, Gormakir, might not be so dead after all. There was also a pretty epic battle with a hydra (pictured below).
The session ended with the party opening a trap door beneath a bar, which led to a basement of some sort. From this space came a woman’s bloodcurdling cry, along with a creeping sense of dread. We’ll see what they found next session…

Some pics from our excellent July 4th DW One-Shot. This one saw the party infiltrating the abandoned temple of the ancient god of atrocities and abominations, Azad-Kan. This session, which took place 100 years in the past of our main DW game, also functioned as an origin story for one of that game’s antagonists, the dread sorcerer Gormakir the Cruel.
There were lots of thrilling moments, including our elf wizard facing down a massive abomination made from hundreds of corpses (a la Gandalf and the balrog); our fighter having his hand chewed-off by a ghoul child; and a hopeless, Charge of the Light Brigade-style attack on a horde of orcs.
Speaking of orcs, my one-eyes did this cool thing where they use naked, chained-up orc gimps to function as voodoo doll-like proxies who they can slice and stab to cause injury to the heroes. It was horrific, especially when they started chopping off one of the gimp’s arms!
All in all, a lot of fun. Thanks to Maximilian Garza , Kerry Harrison , Alexander Hay , Ferrell Riley and Ian Hay (who I can’t + for some reason).
