Episode 210 – Perspectives and Expectations

Posted on by
Reply

In this episode, Mike & Daniel are back to discuss how perspectives and expectations can shape the choices that we make in life and gaming. Jumping off of the point mentioned in our previous episode regarding different editions of Dungeons and Dragons – specifically how Daniel enjoys older editions while 5th edition is everything Mike has hoped the game could be – many of the differences we find in our life, our gaming, and even what we value in the practice and application of our faith have to do with what we are expecting.

Games mentioned in this episode:
Racing Demons (card game)
Santorini
Friday
Spirit Island
Marvel Card Line
Munchkin

Other mentions:
Shut up & Sit Down’s “Card Games That Don’t Suck” video series
Blood Rage play mat
Heroforge 2.0

There’s a brief announcement in the front of the episode where Mike references his new Patreon page. If you can support that’d be great, but if you can’t there is nothing to fear. GSP and its content will only be tangentially affected at most. We just know that some listeners wanted to know if something like that ever got set up.

Remakes, Retakes and that Old Game-lovin’ Feeling

Daniel and Jeff start things off with a trip down memory lane as we celebrate a spoiler-free love-fest for Stranger Things 3. Along the way they uncover the need to capture the old feelings of wonder and simple pleasures in our favorite hobbies.  Sometimes the views of our child-like selves can help the outlooks of our adult eyes.

Cast your ears upon the Actual Play action over at InnRoads Plays, our sister podcast where we’re launching episode 1 of a new trilogy – Scales of Justice: the Scrolls of Auria!

Adding Ambiance to your Game Nights!

Daniel, T.R. and Jeff sometimes go overboard when it comes to game nights. Music and effects, food, smells, even environment can all be used to raise the bar in your games. Playing King of Tokyo, why not have the Godzilla soundtrack and monster smashes in the background? Jumping behind the wheel of Gaslands? Maybe the smells of oil and metal in the air? Or hold game night in a garage!

Check out some of the gang’s experiences in the realm of game enhancement!

Episode 202 – Spring is in the Air

Sparking Joy or Outrage?

Daniel, Mike and Jeff get carried away with segments but eventually discuss what it means to decide what’s important in one’s gaming collection. Will this help our listeners with methods to “tidy up” their collections? Or will it spawn an unending stream of hate mail?

We have a chance to chat up the new InnRoads Plays podcast feed (now featuring the Glass Dagger Season 1). And also Mike’s stint on City on a Hill Gaming as a warforged!
