Game Store Prophets

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.

In this episode Mike and Luke look into the future . . . Nah, not like that. As the new year dawns, the guys talk about what they are hoping to see happen personally as well as for the ministry. Everything from putting together play-by-post Pathfinder games to welcoming the guys at Saving the Game into the network.

It’s the end of the year, and while many of us are gearing up for the wonder that is the holiday season, Mike and Luke are talking about their favorite games of 2013. We promise, only one of the “awards” goes to Android: Netrunner

Also – congratulations to Håvard Hofstad Ruud – winner of our Hearthstone for Christmas contest. Enjoy it, Håvard, especially since they just announced that the open beta is getting delayed.

We 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.

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.
