Episode 67 — Better Late than Never … to Be Kind

Posted on by

WARNING – In this episode we mention an issue that recently stirred up a whole hornets’ nest of rage and bile on both sides of the table. If you hear what we have to say, and want to comment. We just ask two things of you first:

1) We at GSP adhere to Wheaton’s Law. Follow it.
2) Listen to the whole episode before you look to comment.

If you still want to ask us about why or how we come to our conclusions, then feel free to comment or email us at mike@innroadsministires and luke@innroadsministries. Thanks

***

There wasn’t a whole lot of exciting gaming news either personally or corporately that we could talk of, so in this episode, we can FINALLY sit down to talk about the Doctor Who Christmas special that said good by to Mike’s favorite Doctor, Matt Smith. We also discuss the nature of fandom. We can twist something so beautiful as a passion for a piece media, a game, or whatever – and turn it into a means to separate, isolate, and degrade others for not doing it in the manner we believe to be correct.

Be sure to check out this blog post from Jamie the Very Worst Missionary to see what Mike got so excited about. If you do, tell her we say hi. She’s a very talented blogger.

In this episode, the guys have a moment of mourning for Luke’s friendly local gaming store. As we reflect on the nature of fellowship and community that requires the brick and mortar world of the FLGS, we talk about the nature of fellowship and the need for it at a level far deeper than a church potluck or Sunday morning service.

kodtwallpaper1280We had the opportunity to sit down with Barbara Ann Blackburn. On top of working with the Kenzer Company on role playing games like Hackmaster and Aces and Eights, Barbara works to help make the Knights of the Dinner Table comics with her husband and creator of the series Jolly Blackburn. KoDT has been a staple of the tabletop RPG community since it started appearing in the pages of Dragon Magazine, filled with characters and stories that could come straight from any gaming group.

Currently, they are putting together a kickstarter project in the hopes of bringing the characters from the comic to life in a web series. You can find that kickstarter here.816d17aa5b184f78ff6f559d94d5aefb_large

If you are unfamiliar with KoDT and its characters, be sure to go to http://www.kodtweb.com and learn more about the comics behind the project.

If you were new to hobby boardgaming when you started listening to us – or were not even aware that tabletop gaming actually WAS a hobby – you probably looked to certain iconic pieces of entertainment when somebody used the g-word. Thoughts of Clue, Monopoly, Risk, Life, Sorry, Trivial Pursuit, and more were probably quick to jump to mind.

Then you found out that there was more to gaming than just the games you played when you were kids and the power went out – and a whole new world was opened.

In this episode, the guys make comparisons between finding new games that do what those old clunkers did – and BETTER – with growing and discovering new shades to your walk with God.

Naturally, we talk about what games are great for those Halloween game nights, and discuss the nature of Halloween for those who claim Christ (which we may have already done in the past – but I site the title of this episode in response to any and all comments)
