Like everyone with gaming podcasts that land on this week – We’re taking a look at some of the things that are getting us excited from the list of releases and demos of games at Gen Con.
As always – we hope everybody who is going out to the convention this year will have safe travels and a wonderful time out in Indianapolis. For the rest of us, there’s always Gen Can’t.

Warning: If you are not ok with a grown man gushing for an extended period of time about animated Rankin/Bass dragons – this is not the episode for you. Seeing as you’re here … you should be fine.
In this episode of the podcast, Daniel gives an update on what has been dubbed “The Boyscout Game” of Dungeons and dragons. We take an archive dive to look at one of the earliest iterations of a deck building card game/board game hybrid – Trains, and I talk about alphabetizing magical libraries and gelatinous cube assistants in Ex Libris.
Then we jump headlong into the waters of nostalgia. They up an announced a Transformers collectible card game – and we needed to have a discussion about seeing the things we love from our youth again and realizing how easy it is to overlook its flaws through all our happy memories … and then we talk about how this misapplication of fandom can make its way into our expressions of faith as well.
If you’re looking for the episode of Bard & Bible I mention called Punching Gorbash – you can find that here.

Still recovering from board game fatigue from Tavern Con – there wasn’t much recourse but to talk about RPGs. It just so happened that not only did Daniel recently have the first session of the infamous “Boy Scout Game” – but the folks at Saving the Game decided to put out an episode about becoming a game master. There are so many resources, so much support out there, to jump in and try something you didn’t naturally think you’d be good at.
Whether it’s games, faith, or anything really – sometimes you just have to do it before you’ll find out if it’s where you’ll supposed to be.
