Beautifully written and fantastically ghastly. This is going in my "need to run" pile! 

I don't know anything about Shadowdark but the layout is so clear and the flow works so well I bet I could figure out how to run it based on this entry alone! Great job!

This is very clever, and I support the princess in trying to get out of a bad date the way she did ;)

Crisp and simple, but not lacking in options, you can tell this is written by someone who is really familiar with how a dungeon crawl works. Great job! 

Big fan of the cover stories and treasures! And I'd pay good money to watch an AP where two performers do the rhyming insult battle. The art is gorgeous, the layout is great, this is crisp and even though I know nothing of Cairn I could see how this would be super easy to pick up and run! Great job! :D

"If you die in Tartarus you die in real life" and "Jandalf" got me. Excellent work, this is short, sweet, and perfect for w one shot!

This is GREAT. I can already imagine running this at my Trophy tables. Absolutely top notch work! (And so exciting to see another Trophy incursion in Appendix N!)

I was VERY nervous about getting all those roll mechanics to fit but it worked out nicely! Thank you for the compliment <3 <3

Hi Everyone! I'm Amanda aka iamatrex. I'm in Edmonton, and I love games! I am the editor-in-chief of an ongoing anthology of creative TTRPG works called Sprigs & Kindling, a freelance TTRPG writer, and (in my regular life) a statistician :)

I'm excited to see what everyone comes up with! 

I'm going to write a Trophy Dark incursion set in Edmonton but post-apocalyptic. What if there were treasures hidden under the Muttart Conservatory? :D

This game is absolutely horrifically delightful. What a gem. Where else could I play two people dressed in a cow costume and have it not only unhinged, but also be perfectly creepy?? The Minnesota State Fair! 

In the face of infinite temporal expanses, my existence flickers fleetingly, leaving me grappling with the profound insignificance of my being. Time, an indomitable merciless spectre, slithers through my grasp, allowing me but a fleeting glimpse of the sheer miracle of my own existence before it slips into the void. Yet, amidst the desolate contemplation, there exists a profound paradox—an ephemeral moment so exquisitely poignant that it transcends the boundaries of time, an eternal essence contained within a fleeting instant. But, no, such reassurances elude me, for my existence, a mere flicker in the cosmic abyss, reduces me to a minuscule speck, lost amidst the chasm of nothingness and everything.

Good game!

I just finished adding the clues, and popped it up on the Gauntlet Publishing discord for any feedback while I think about layout. Any layout tips for someone who usually only works with statistical data? XD

I hear he wasn't even an NPC for the mystery - he just showed up. Typical Dave. 

I just backed this, and read through the first mystery in the bunch. It's going to be SO fun to play! The prompts are all excellent but I am really hyped about the NPCs. Every single one of them is someone I want to show up in a game. Even Dave. 

I can't wait for the rest of the mysteries! The summaries look great, and (selfishly) our playgroup has gotten through nearly all the other mysteries so MORE is always better :D

Haunted Observatory! Inspired by various space horror things but most especially the X-Files episode "Space" (the one where the astronaut is haunted by the face on Mars. It's great/terrible.)
