Our patron, Dr. Parker Cook, is on the episode to discuss heroism in the game Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together. A 2011 remake of the 1995 Tactics Ogre, this game provides a great level of depth and reflection of the choices we make and the wake we leave because of those choices. This is a great reflection opportunity to think about gaming and living.

A podcast about gaming and living. This episode is a brief introduction to myself and my hopes for this podcast. I want to inspire gamers who care about social issues to develop their leadership skills and make change in the world. Games are a great example of ordinary people who encounter extraordinary challenges and build life skills and knowledge to overcome those challenges. In this podcast we will talk about systemic injustice, character development, discernment, and a whole host of other topics. But for today, a humble introduction. #videogames, #leadershipdevelopment, #trailsofcoldsteel4
