The Houston Gauntlet - Tabletop RPG Community

Every Monday for the foreseeable future, Scott will be hosting a game night in the backroom of Dragon's Lair Comics and Fantasy at 21155A Tomball Pkwy, Houston, TX 77070.

Each game will begin with a Session 0 which is strictly for collaborative creation of themes, settings, tones, and finally individual character creation. The game will continue until each reaches a satisfying narrative end. Because these are long form games that could be form several months to even a year. Because of this it is preferred that players be able to commit to being present for the game the vast majority of sessions.

The current game which takes place in a sheltered AEtheric Sea where our crew is jumping back and forth through time trying to undo a plot 500 years in the making is currently full. But we do have a wait list and if enough people show interest we can try and set up a second table or a second night.

Once the current game is done a new event will be created that is open to anyone. Those that come aboard will take part in the creation of a new world and a new story which will run until it is done. Then we will start the whole process over again.

If you have interest, please feel free to join the waitlist, shoot me a message, or join our discord for more info. I hope to see you there.

Somewhere ahead lies the Misty Vale, the legendary place where the empires of old stored their wealth and magical artifacts. It is the rumor of these treasures that has brought you here – the vast riches and arcane secrets hidden among the ruins on the other side of the mountains. And you are not the first to be lured by such temptations. Since the orcs started leaving the area, about a decade ago, a growing stream of settlers and adventurers have made their way to the Misty Vale

Join us adventuring through the Misty Vale, the heart of a long forgotten draconic empire. Discover its secrets, slay mighty beasts and maybe even save the world. Dragonbane (also known as Drakar och Demoner in Sweden) is a rules lite-ish DnD alternative with brutal, fast and strategic combat, deadly monsters and plenty of mirth and mayhem.

No experience required. Rules for character creation and how to play will be provided to players. The X-card will be enforced and all players will be expected to treat others with respect.

Frontier planets don't get any more hostile than Sundown.
An unstable crust has left the planet in a constant state of global super volcanism. During the day, the sky is stained by an overcast of ash clouds, stuck in permanent twilight the slowly shifts between reds and yellows. On a clear night, you can see the great flashes off in the distance. An atmospheric pressure five times that of Old Earth has prevented any kind of carbon based life from developing, but has kept the oceans of ammonia from boiling away.

It has only been roughly 60 decades since colonization started, an endeavor fueled by a vast abundance of structural metals and the hope that one day this toxic planet with an unstable crust could be terraformed. While countless outposts and mining camps scatter the planet, there is but one city, the Megacity of Hexagon.

Built upon the highest and most stable geographic region and protected by repulser fields, it is still no safer on the inside than out. Rule of the planet is somewhere in the middle of a cold war between five corporations. Most common people barely scrape by, earning just enough to survive. If you are able to somehow survive the inferno outside and the brutality of corporate rule inside, then all you have to worry about is what outer horrors have followed back deep space surveyors.

The Sprawl (an apocalypse world hack) by Hamish Cameron is a narrative based TTRPG where the players take control of chromed-up cyberpunk mercenaries just trying to make their way in the galaxy. The system is designed to “explore current 21st century trends toward increasing corporate control, increasing commodification of human existence and effort, increasing division between rich and poor and increasing ubiquity of technology.” Games will be mission based, intended to be completed within a single session, for ease of players dropping in and out. Sessions are tentative, in case of player overflow.

We’ll be learning the rules as we play, so no experience is necessary.
All materials will be provided and the X-card will be enforced.
Any concerns or topics of reservation should be discussed with the GM.
