When one of our Regulars at the Tavern told me about a game called Commissioned about the spread of the early church in its historical context, I was intrigued. Then I found out that they will be unveiling their kickstarter THIS WEEK at Origins. I got in touch with Pat Lysaght, one of the game’s designers, and got him on the podcast to tell you guys a little bit more about it. If you find yourself at Origins, be sure to stop by and say you heard about them on Game Store Prophets.

The kickstarter doesn’t go live until Wednesday June 3rd, but you can find more about the game – including videos featuring game demonstrations – at the following:

We initiate Jeff in his first episode as co-pilot of GSP. We talk about him going out to a secluded cabin with some friends and a game of Dead of Winter (what could go wrong?), and then move on to how Star Realms made us reflect on the need for a balance of unity and diversity in faith and life.

Not bad for a $15 deck of cards, huh?

So what happens when an RPG mastermind and a digital gaming guru decide they want to step into the board gaming world and see what all the fuss is about?

Apparently epic 8-hour+ sessions of pushing cardboard. Who knew?

In the wake of episode 100, our new cohost Jeff and our buddy Jacob come to talk about crossing over into new gaming camps.

Episode 100 was just too big to cram into our usual one hour. By the time we were done putting together all the interviews and other assorted content, we had three hours worth of podcast goodness. We thought we’d break that down into two hour and a half parts just to make it easier for folks to enjoy.

Part 2 includes:

Marty Connell from

Grant & Peter from

The InnRoads Board

As well as listener emails and talk about the future of the ministry and the podcast.
