Don’t Fear the Gamers

Why stop at three when you can have four?  The time has come to pay the piper as Mike returns to the…uh…mic!  While we have our fun welcoming back our fearless leader, we thought it appropriate that the 4-strong lineup tackle the difficult topics of fear and anxiety. Sometimes the games we play express a certain flavor of fear exemplified by the times in which they were created. And even some other games actually help us deal with the anxieties of our current condition.

Even further, the gaming group that surrounds us at the table or on the digital waves can be a part of the most important weapon we have against fear – fellowship!
