This episode is light on banter because, well, there was just too much to talk about.
We start off nice and simple with one of our patent-pending 5×2 lists of the announcements from GAMA that we are most interested in, and then hit the ground running with two controversial issues that have been all over the gaming interwebs. Days of Wonder’s decision to take the slaves out of Five Tribes, and, of course, the announcement that Gencon is threatening to leave Indianapolis at the end of their contract if a new RFRA law is not changed.
We realize that when you talk about this sort of thing, you can’t make everyone happy. Rarely is that even possible with an issue that has reached this sort of magnitude. What we don’t want to see is a comments section breaking down into two sides drawing clear battle lines and shouting over each other. There is enough of that other places, and we hope to take one step towards bringing the humanity back into this equation.

This is my first time listening to your podcast. I really appreciated your testimony & the way you gave glory to Jesus as the Saviour of sinners. We don’t beat up the blind man because he keeps falling in the ditch, and we can’t expect unregenerate folks to behave like the regenerate – at least I think that’s what you were saying 🙂
I’m really excited too to hear that you are enjoying your gaming for the glory of God, & seeing it as an opportunity to reach out to others. I have been playing tabletop games, video games, building models & painting miniatures for many years and have made some great contacts with non-Christian people through this. I have also been able to get a number of my Christian friends into games, which has been great too.
Have you guys ever tried The One Ring RPG from Cubicle 7? This has got me back into Tabletop RPGs after a break of about 30 years 🙂 It has some great mechanics for dealing with hope & shadow – check it out if you get a chance.
Thanks again & all the best,
John
I haven’t had a chance to play that yet. The only Cubicle 7 game I’ve played to date is Victoriana – which is a system I like a lot.
